The playlist function on YouTube can be an excellent medium for introducing libertarian/ancap ideas, but only if the videos themselves are excellent.

The point of this thread is not to bitch (although good criticism is always constructive); it is to identify videos/playlists on youtube that are truly satisfactory for promotional purposes.
