The Real News Hour(Classic 1996) The Illusion Of Freedom [YOwbTMg7ccA]

Black's Law Dictionary, Licensing Systems, Communist Manifesto

Jeff Davis cites Black's Law Dictionary to define licenses as permissions to perform acts that would otherwise be illegal, framing the state as a "licensor" and citizens as "licensees" or "slaves." He links the modern licensing and permit system to the Communist Manifesto's goal of abolishing private property. The hosts characterize these fees and tickets as a "Babylonian system of enslavement" designed to extract tribute from the public.
