I assumed belief in socialism would die with the Soviet Union.

But it didn't…now New York City and Seattle have elected socialist mayors.

I wish more people listened to economists Friedrich Hayek & Ludwig von Mises.

Years ago, they explained why central planning doesn’t work:

Before Fauci pled the Fifth 100+ times, I covered @RandPaul's claim that Fauci sent American money to Wuhan, China, to fund research that might have created the COVID pandemic.

At the time, Paul was called a conspiracy theorist.

Here's how that went down:

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

I’ve failed!

For years, I’ve made the case for free markets.

Yet now, socialists WIN elections!

Don’t people understand economics?

Only with “liberty, humanity moves forward,” explains @SteveForbesCEO.

Climate researcher @curryja says climate scientists have a reason to exaggerate risk.

What’s in it for them?

“Fame and fortune,” Curry tells me.

Curry has inside info about how “the science” has been hijacked.

People say "Capitalists get rich by taking money from others—Jeff Bezos’ $50 billion means the rest of us have $50 billion less!

Bunk.

That’s MYTH 1 in my “Myths about Capitalism” series.

It’s wrong, says economist @danieljmitchell, because the economic pie grows:

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

More myths about capitalism debunked:

Myth 4: “Free markets create unsafe workplaces.”

The opposite is true.

Economist @danieljmitchell explains that free markets gradually make us SAFER:

Government gets bigger and more tyrannical, but @michaelmalice says:

“People in a far worse position than us won a far greater victory in our lifetime, and no one talks about it.”

We talk about it here:

Obama’s White House attacked him. A congressman investigated him. His own university shoved him in a storage closet.

@RogerPielkeJr still wouldn’t lie about extreme weather.

"Climate change is real” says Pielke. “But it's not the apocalypse.”

Pielke's story:

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

Socialists call capitalism “immoral” for allowing some to become super rich while others are poor. They have it backwards.

Capitalism has made nearly everyone more prosperous than our ancestors could even imagine:

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

The left has another HORRIBLE goal: end capitalism because it pursues growth.

They claim: "A smaller, slower economy could also be a SWEETER economy.”

WHAT?

There’s nothing sweet about poverty:

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

Class action lawsuits have become FUNDRAISERS for the left.

Don’t believe me? Just look at the recent $62M Google settlement. Not a single penny of that went to the victims.

Millions, however, went to lefty groups like:

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

They say socialism is for the working class.

But its biggest promoters are PRIVILEGED.

The hypocrisy is obvious.

Bernie Sanders used to attack millionaires AND billionaires.

Then he made millions.

Now he only attacks billionaires!

Stossel TV Fellow Leyla Taghiyeva reports:

Trump has ordered regulators to fast-track new nuclear plants.

Democratic senators call that dangerous.

“That's just a bunch of crap," says Ray Rothrock of @TheBTI, "They're afraid of something they don't need to be afraid of.”

My video below covers some of their fears:

Kids are taught, “sharing is caring.” You MUST share, or you're selfish.

But that selfishness “is what makes the world progress, and makes our lives better,” says @yaronbrook:

Green zealots want more socialism and less capitalism.

But socialists have “the worst environmental record on the planet,” @tomgpalmer tells me.

Capitalism often SAVES the environment.

It might sound counterintuitive…but here is evidence:

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

Wildfires destroyed 13,000 homes in California.

@GavinNewsom promised “efficiency” in granting permits for rebuilding.

“Efficiency" must not mean much to him. More than year later, not even 1% of destroyed homes have been rebuilt.

Why?

"Decades of red tape," says a survivor.

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

Capitalism haters say, "We have a finite amount of money.”

“Jeff Bezos has $100B. His wealth is making people poorer.”

But, that’s just ignorant. There ISNT a finite amount of money.

Capitalists create new wealth!

Here’s how trade makes everyone richer:

Economist Thomas Sowell was once a Marxist, but now he advocates for free markets.

"What was your wake-up to what was wrong with [Marxism]?" @RubinReport asked him.

"Facts," Sowell replies.

Here’s why I admire Sowell:

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

People say, "Problem? There ought to be a law."

But the more government "fixes" things, the more power politicians have over us. And the less freedom WE have.

Freedom, not government, got us to 250 years.

@SteveForbesCEO, @JenAnjuGrossman, @ryanmcmaken, and others explain:

The Constitution is full of phrases like, "'Congress shall not...no law shall be passed.’ It's not about what the government will DO for you" says @robkhenderson.

It's about how "government is not going to interfere in your lives."
