RUGGED INDIVIDUALISM - Drop Hegel, return to Locke

This video examines Francis Fukuyama's two definitions of Liberalism. Fukuyama seemingly claims Hegel's definition is more modern and up to date, whereas I argue that Americans should drop Hegel's idea of liberalism as Recognition and return to Locke and Hobbes' idea of Property and "not interferring".

Hegel and Fukuyama's notion lead to a circus of never ending recognition, which was never the American framers intention. Whereas Locke and Hobbes lead to the original notion of being left alone and rugged individualism.

Life is busy and I don't have time to make many vids, but I'll still keep at it.
