1/5 Every “planned” economy fails for the same reason. It tries to replace virtue with control. And control never scales. 👇

Truth no longer decides what is moral. Narrative does. Political Moralism - The Framework of Control https://t.co/PAKnHPE1B5

Israel’s existence is not a political convenience, but a moral necessity. Israel is the living memory of a civilization that gave us the idea of an objective good. To abandon that memory is to forget who we are as Christians. @wgarneau @RheaKarys https://t.co/9Iz0djhULp

5/5 No system can compensate for the erosion of personal virtue. That’s the thread running through every failed ideology. Read the full essay — What Is an Economy, and What Is It For? — Part II: 🔗

4/5 Freedom isn’t self-perpetuating. It survives only when people act like adults — taking responsibility for themselves rather than outsourcing it to the state. No constitution can save a population that won’t govern itself.

3/5 • Marxism destroys production in pursuit of equality. • Fascism preserves production but subordinates it to the state. • Corporatism flips the script — using the state to serve corporate power. All three demand obedience instead of responsibility.

2/5 In Part II of What Is an Economy, and What Is It For?, I examine Marxism, Fascism, and Corporatism — three systems that promise stability through centralized power. Each one claims to perfect the market. Each one collapses under the weight of human nature.

6/6 My latest essay breaks it down: Free Markets, Managed Markets, and Socialism—rated across 6 hard criteria. Next week: Marxism, Communism, Fascism, and more. 👉 Read here:

5/6 The real battle isn’t between GDP forecasts or fancy equations. It’s between freedom and control. Do we trust people to run their own lives—or hand power to elites who claim to know better?

4/6 Socialism isn’t economics—it’s moral engineering with economic tools. It demands selfless people who don’t exist. Without price signals, production collapses into shortages, waste, and control.

3/6 State-Managed Capitalism accepts markets—but bends them for political ends. Keynes, “stimulus,” subsidies, and bubbles. The result? Activity without productivity, debt without end.

2/6 Free Market Capitalism starts with freedom. No planner, no mission—just people making choices. Prices = information. Losses = honesty. It’s the only system that treats tradeoffs as real.

1/6 What is an economy—and what is it really for? We’re told it’s a machine to be “managed.” That’s a lie. An economy isn’t a thing at all. It’s the sum of everything we do.

'Christian Nationalism' is not really a thing. I have never met, nor heard about, an actual Christian Nationalist. The phrase is really just an anti-Christian slur used to denigrate those who believe that Judeo-Christian moral norms should remain normative within our society.

My latest essay: Standards of Evil: Competing Moral Frameworks and the Fracturing of the West. https://t.co/iEzwhVfGNT RT if you believe truth must rise above narrative.

When competing moral frameworks reverse good and evil, compromise becomes surrender and tolerance becomes complicity. That’s where we are now.

Progressive morality: Evil = power & privilege. Judgment is based not on what you do, but on who you are. And redemption? It doesn’t exist.

Nazi morality: Evil = weakness. The highest “good” was racial destiny—even if it meant atrocity.

Islamic morality: Evil = rejecting Sharia. Murder, rape, or terror can be glorified if they force submission.

Judeo-Christian morality: Evil = sin. A conscious violation of God’s moral law. Forgiveness is possible for all.
