Yeah, as if the neo-liberal elite will willingly renounce their money and power, in order to make space for social enterprises :-} . But yes, I am awa...
*shakes head* self-congratulatory non-sense. You don't seem to understand the interrelations between these things. At least BC has tried to provide an...
No, that's an aspect of being allowed to trade with other countries, which the Eastern bloc wasn't allowed while it was communist. (and it wasn't beca...
They are just the necessary conditions for globalisation, consumerism, etc. The environmental conditions that make the former possible. Political corr...
No, I do not think that. Why do you think it might explain it? Has nothing to do with anything. If I'm working for the government, charged to open a f...
Yes. It's not the free market though, it's just industrialisation and mass production. Well, neither China nor Russia really allowed "free market", ev...
Yes, I know I know. It's just funny listening to you people... you just simply can't understand the world anymore... you still think we're the same wo...
No the market just puts an ad on TV showing how great having sex with that contraceptive is, how free you can be, etc. etc. It's like me telling you a...
Right, so something that does not sanction immorality is not moral, but immoral. If I see someone rape a woman and don't intervene to stop it in any w...
:s that makes no sense. The logic of free markets rewards the satisfaction of ANY desires, it does not care about morality and immorality. If hookers ...
Yes, for you, it is recommended that your try smoking it, out of the bong if possible, to get an authentic experience and feel content with your life....
From this forum? I was saying mostly people I know from real life, but from this forum Wayfarer, Banno, VagabondSpectre. Despite the many disagreement...
The seal of authority always deceives people in thinking they have more control than they really do, and they can pull more levers than they really ca...
Well in certain cases yes, due to medical costs or family. But it really depends on the individual person and the country/social system under which th...
Because it seeks to make everyone into a wage-slave, who consumes more and more products, has no morality but that which increases consumption and is ...
Rational discussion requires engagement. You haven't shown a willingness to engage with others who have pointed out the shortcomings of your position ...
No, it's not about that, but the thing is that you're not the first person in your age group 50+ who I've met who thinks exactly the same way. You all...
The only real option is the system of control run by the military. I mean what other alternative is there? There have only ever been two sources of po...
Funnily enough, you too are a neoliberal. In fact, it is exactly your type that I define as neoliberal, including your approach to religion, capitalis...
And by the way, you have an impression that people on the left use neoliberal as some insult for those on the right, but most neoliberals I know are l...
Yes and no with regards to PC, IP and SP. They are more peripheral in the sense that they are not the causes of the others. But they are intimately re...
Sometimes I miss physical work, but I've been indoctrinated by my culture that physical work should be avoided if possible. I worked in construction a...
One problem is the parasite class of University professors, many of whom have given themselves very high salaries. And even more so University managem...

Answer: no. Yes, but I don't think the neoliberal elites will allow that to happen that easily. Fascism and statism, among other things, means their d...
Yes, I thought about that, unfortunately, that way seems blocked with many risks and obstacles. Such a collective project always entails the risk of a...
Right, I agree (I've never really been on the Conservative side in terms of UK politics), but it's ultimately still a lack of money. And an individual...
Right, and I agree with that. That's why I posted that I've also seen public services work: But the problem is that you cannot do this without money, ...
Although having said this, I should specify that NHS has been degrading over time, since initially I remember it used to be good. There were even many...
In Europe, it tends to be the exact opposite. Healthcare tends to be much better in the private sector, but it's more expensive. For example, my grand...
What's wrong with that now? :s So long as the people are adequately taken care of, I see nothing wrong with it. I've thought for a long time about a b...
