[Revolves]

Free indoctrination course for free!

Gather round people, for the so called prophet maxstate is nothing but a socialist. He supports national healthcare, and he's a socialist, you get what I'm saying?

So you are here, "but rev, if max is such a gay socialist, who should I turn to for real advice?"

But I am happy to serve my friends! Unlike max I will not force you to read the following, however, I strongly suggest you get educated before making remarks about how socialism is awesome.

Because it's a broken system ; case in point, soviet union, Yugoslavia, basically every single god damn "communist" state.

Books:

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith (That socialist max also recommends this. I think he was trolling.)
