Are socialists “liars?” Depends on your definition — and whether they truly believe what they say. But this much is for sure: they tell and/or believe in lies.

Along with Juan Carlos Hidalgo, President of the Social Christian Unity Party in Costa Rica and CATO’s former policy analyst for Latin America, he takes us through 8 of the lies of socialism that he once found compelling.
Together, they put forth a combination of real-world data, logic, and imagery that addresses those 8 lies and explains why they’re so wrong … and so dangerous.
