Ron Swanson Loves Capitalism and Libertarianism | Parks and Recreation

“Fourth graders aren’t supposed to have their heads crammed full of weird ideas.”

Why is believing that the government is bloated, corrupt, and mostly unnecessary a “weird idea?” I wish more people would teach their kids to not depend on or implicitly trust politicians.

You know, it's funny, but I can't help but feel like most of this is meant to mock libertarian beliefs like they're radical as a whole.

I aspire to be Ron Swanson

Ron must be so happy today. Economy is booming and 50% of Americans can't afford rent.

Lame

Ron Swanson > Nick Offerman

Ron was right from the beginning! State solves nothing, they take your money and do everything to not use it for you.

"Fourth graders aren't supposed to have their heads crammed full of weird ideas."

Boy, that joke did not age well.

"and communism is no good" lmao
summed up red scare brain rot of post-war America.

Shut. Up.

It's a shame Ron still claimed to own property, yet, pays the government rent every year in the form of property "tax".
You can't own land in the US. If you don't pay your rent (property tax), the government will seize your property just like a landlord with infinitely more firepower.

😊 just keep making sense ron
😊 You have an office and nobody understands why that f**** thing is there
Can't keep giving you benefits man

Libertarans are like cats.
They think they're oh-so independent but are in fact relying on a masiive support structure that they can't actually see.

I would like to hear his thoughts on the Nestle Umbrella

when he appeared on the Last of Us was great-.

The ringtone is hilarious

Viva la libertad carajo!

People really using P&R to defend the “Don’t say gay bill” and acting like a satirical explanation of the tax system from a character with a political bias is a life lesson.

Comedy really goes over peoples heads.

shame Capitalism doesn't work for most, but Swanson is funny though.

Libertarians are bassicly centriest- Anarchists who could rebrand themeelves.

And spain worse

Want to put it on the record. My Political Philosophy is Swansonism.

If you are a libertarian, you are stupid.

He is a clown and it works to make libertarians look like stupid idiots. They are so stupid.

Mauritsio et oo enää maurizio mulle tuhoan kaiken mitä olet tehnyt kun prtit sukusi tapan kaiken ja nautin

"Big swing and a miss"

VIVA LA LIBERTAD CARAJO

If only Ron realized that capitalism is when a corporation is the State.

I know this is satire, but I chuckled at Ron's idea of government is 1 guy deciding who to nuke, when you remember that Manhattan Project is one of the biggest, most massive taxpayer funded government project in the history of USA.

Effectively the entire Government will be shut down until further Notice
Ron : finally my time has come

Ron is a terrible representation of libertarians because he's actually reasonable and likable

I love how Andy looks into the camera smiles and nods like he’s proud of himself that he said that communism was bad in front of Ron.

Ron as a character was written as satire. However, the man is truly based. I wish he was real, and I wish he was president.

Honestly my only real problem with free market stuff is when what’s profitable is also what harms the planet or other people. Otherwise, yeah it’s pretty cool

Oh also Land Value Tax (Georgism) is pretty cool

Easily the most based character

Found my new literally me character

Funny how Swanson is supposed to sound like a lunatic yet most of what he says is logical and practical. Socialism is a parody of reality….

While they get libertarians right sometimes, they also really get us wrong. No libertarian would call a fiat currency federal note "the most wonderful piece of paper in the world"

Perhaps the most based character in TV history. I can even overlook his anti-Britishness (God Save the King)

Some people say he’s a parody. But he makes too much sense 😂

I just realized ron sometimes sounds like patrick bateman

What the writers of the show forgot, is that Libertarianism is beyond parody. No matter how insane and stupid you make it look, libertarians will still nod and approve.

Love how Ron says that everyone is in their right to do whatever they want even if they die as a result one day, but then somehow still only allows like 3 haircuts

Yall are insane for thinking he actually had any good points but I love you all the same

Oddly enough Nick Offerman is a bleeding heart do gooder.

Ron Swanson’s hilarious, but if you find your political views are also those of a sitcom character, maybe it’s time to think again. Or just … think.

And women are brought to him…maybe.


When he desires them.
