CLOWN: Robert Reich Claims Elon Musk’s ‘Libertarian’ Views on Internet ‘Dream of Every Dictator’
NewsBusters ^ | 4/13/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 04/13/2022 6:24:10 AM PDT by JV3MRC

Clinton stooge Robert Reich seemed to forget the meaning of the word “contradiction” when attacking the world’s richest man’s libertarian views on the internet.

The former Secretary of Labor scaremongered to his readers how Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s “vision for the internet is dangerous nonsense.” But then Reich immediately contradicted himself in the subheadline for his April 12 Guardian op-ed : “Musk has long advocated a libertarian vision of an ‘uncontrolled’ internet. That’s also the dream of every dictator, strongman and demagogue.” Uh, what? Apparently Reich doesn’t understand the definition of the word “libertarian”: “Libertarians are classical liberals who strongly emphasize the individual right to liberty.”

Yes, dictators dream of an Internet where everyone is able to speak freely and disseminate information.

Clown.

So according to the Turd Reich, dictators want freedom of speech, not censorship. They want liberty, not authoritarian control. Brilliant, Bob.

Whenever I see guy like this still getting an outlet to spew nonsense I find it helpful to go back and see the many many times they were wrong......so here we go....from 7/21.

“Joe Biden has a good chance of getting America back to where it was before the pandemic. COVID-19 is in retreat. So far, almost half of the adult population has been fully vaccinated. The economy is roaring back — still 7 million jobs short of where it was in January 2020 but on track to return to the starting gate by the end of the year. Biden’s “American Rescue Plan” is a major success.

But it’s not clear Biden will get America back to where it was before Donald Trump. Biden’s initial slew of executive orders erased most of Trump’s executive orders, but he hasn’t yet demolished all of Trump’s cruel immigration policies. Trump’s xenophobic rhetoric is gone, but Biden hasn’t repaired relations with China. Many of Trump’s tariffs are still in place. And even with a bare Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate, there’s little chance Congress will repeal all of Trump’s tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy.”

There are at least a half-dozen L. Neil Smith novels on libertarian society that Reich should be forced to read.

The lack of dictators and the freedom of citizens would give Reich nightmares for the rest of his life.

I thought Reich was out of public life some time ago. He needs to be because we already have an excess of dumb thinkers like him out there already. He was a failure in his role in government as I recall & apparently thinks he will continue the tradition now. I remember what Rush always thought of him & as they say.....”Rush was right”.

Robert Reich is a malignant dwarf and loudly proclaimed that none of the “stimulus” money during the 0bama administration should go to white men. Another termite gnawing away at the woodwork of civilization.

Being clownishly backward, how does Robert Reich make a living? Paid to throw around absurd leftist propaganda?
