I can’t fathom it. You say you want to help others then delegate some government official to do it for you. But even then, erecting a bureaucracy is h...

Exactly right.

Socialism is state monopoly and power-grubbing, nothing besides. It has only ever served asa means to dupe entire masses into giving up their autonomy...

You can only pretend the two are alike in any way. If I could end my relationship with the state like I can with a business, by simply walking out the...

They are socialists to me. So-called “social” legislation and other mollycoddling adopted by governments these days are but the successive steps to a ...

The state is a tool, true, but more of a machine. Its sole purpose is the exploitation of one class by another, and to secure its interests from insur...

If anyone other than the government acted like the government, took wealth as they did, they’d be rightfully called a criminall. That’s why it’s diffi...

Thanks for the explanation.

I don’t care who it’s for. It’s done because others have given them the power to do it.

I’m not an economist. I have no theory as to what caused the Great Depression.

Who knows? It’s out of control. It’s amazing how fast an institution can spend other people’s money.

There is so much government intervention in the way that no one could ever know.

Speaking of neoliberalism, the debt-ridden, big government policies that led to it are now occurring once again. Stagflation? Inflation jumped 6.2% in...

Sure, it arrived at a time when people were nervous about having to pay the just penalty of their collective ignorance and greed. There is no better w...

He was equating a massive transfer of wealth and power with “every advance the people have made in the last 20 years”. As is common, he confuses the s...

It’s a regretful quote. “Socialism” fits better than “progress”.

And neoliberalism.

DPRK, not PDRK.

Oh ok, so just what you think are in the best interests of society as a whole, then.

Maybe adding another emoji will help you out.

In the interests of society as a whole. It’s the best you can do and the best you have done, isn’t that so?

Fascists hated liberalism. Another swing and a miss.

“Freedom therefore is due to the citizen and to classes on condition that they exercise it in the interest of society as a whole and within the limits...

Yet you aggrandize the state at the expense of your own freedom, just like a fascist would do. Funny stuff.

That’s why you don’t know what fascism is. Mussolini loved the New Deal and Keynesianism. Not-so-odd bedfellows, then.

I’m not so sure about that. “You want to know what fascism is like? It is like your New Deal!” - Benito Mussolini

The best we can do is allow the state to monopolize the “common good”. I guess it’s not as common or as good as we make it out to be.

That’s hilarious. Apparently Camilla couldn’t stop talking about it. Camilla Parker Bowles can’t stop talking about Joe Biden’s ‘long fart’ House of W...

"The common good before the individual good. (Gemeinnutz geht vor Eigennutz)" "The Nazi 25-point Programme," Hitler's speech on party's program (Febru...

You did do all of that. You enslaved human beings, committed genocide, transferred their wealth to yourself, and used the funds to consolidate your po...

The fact that you expect or assume a portion of my wage will (or should) be payed to the government is question-begging. Your expectations, assumption...

Did you fall for all this stuff?

All this talk about misinformation, election meddling, and Kremlin troll farms around the 2016 election was so much humbug. Meanwhile, attorney Michae...

A former prosecutor, a former marine, a former cop… wow, you’ve done it all. Nah, the US Justice system is utterly corrupt. Anyone who lies to the DOJ...

Another not charged with insurrection? That must sting a bit, given the narrative.

Ouch. It looks like those who spread the disinfo about Russia, duping millions of true believers, are finally getting pinched. NYT - Authorities Arres...

I don’t think in those terms. I plan to act as I always have. In other words, no plan at all. No suggestions, no advice, no plan, no secret way. Got i...

I’m sure there are more words you can think of. Look how easy it was to list off the words you’ll affix to others as you murder them. You did misunder...

“The common good” is a phrase collectivists and utilitarians break out now and again to justify their schemes. You pretend to know it is, how to attai...

Discussion? More like inquisition. You were unable to provide anything but snarky questions, in a thread about Joe Biden, no less.

Since you asked how I propose it is established which activities hurt the environment, I answered that it is established by tastes, learning and exper...

I suppose it is established by tastes, learning and experience. One can develop a conscience and through it direct his actions in a manner that suits ...

It’s true. Individuals cooperate quite well. But if individuals in a team sacrifice one of their members for the team, they refute themselves, and go ...

Your friends, your family, your team, and your community are composed of individuals. No balance is required.

My plan is the same as it always has been: to direct my own activities in a way that will not hurt the environment.

Yes the CCP steals labor and money from its people, like all Communist parties. I don’t. You don’t know where my money goes, where your money goes, si...

I’ve never bought anything from the CCP, nor have I sent them any money or lip service. Besides, you wouldn’t know where my money goes in any case, so...

I don’t lecture others how they should live. I don’t seek control over others’ lives. I don’t seek to impose rules on others I myself refuse to follow...

I didn’t say Biden drives. I said he flew an 85-car entourage across the ocean and road around Europe in it. How do I support the Chinese government?

I am a communist and a hypocrite because…why exactly?
