I just watched to video, and most of the argument was sound as a conspiracy theory, except for two failed premises. First, taxation is used to fund public infrastructure.
The biggest hole, however, was that when he reached democracy he still called it enslavement. I mean, how do you conclude that? People are elected, there is no 'ruling class' that is secretly conspiring to manipulate everyone else. Now, it may be hard to get into politics if you are poor, but that does not mean that government is one big conspiracy. No to mention that it looked like all of those clips at the end were taken from the same movie. And then there was 'government controls the media'. As though no media outlet has ever been critical of the government. As if it doesn't say in the declaration of independence that if the people are being oppressed, they have a right to overthrow the government? Right of revolution
One more thing: the cow analogy is a total fail. If the farmers left the cows to their own devices, they would soon all die.
