This was such a good video! The videos that go more in depth really opened my eyes too. I knew fiat money had a completely fabricated value based on violence by the state, but for some reason I never connected the dots to say that countries like the US and Canada don't actually use taxes at all (on the federal level) and just allocate an amount to use

Yeah I highly recommend 1Dime in general and the videos referenced in this video’s description in particular.
