Easily one of the worst things I've read from any political book was the very first sentence of Murray Rothbard's For A New Liberty, which starts off ...
One of the things that uniquely characterizes America is it's refusal to acknowledge the vile mistakes in the past and hold any type of responsibility...
@"StreetlightX" I read certain comments on the internet and just stare at them in disbelief and it feels like the screen of my computer becomes some s...
As a matter of fact, Capitalism creates oligopolies. Market concentration has increased rapidly over the last 30 years as corporate lobbyists pushed f...
Marx skewered the arguments typified in the original post over 150 years ago. "Freedom, Equality, Property and Bentham" sound wonderful in abstract th...
This is tortured reasoning. You just refuse to accept the fact that low income adults are capable of understanding how the socio-economic system they ...
I made it clear that the Senate is set up to be ludicrously undemocratic, and not reflective of the voting population. Has nothing to do with the fact...
Do you sincerely believe that adults making less than $30K annually are reading arguments laid out in the works of academics? Or do you think they are...
That fact isn't relevant to your original claim. You claimed that Capitalism is an "obviously desirable thing", and that those who oppose or "vehement...
Weird you say that since Socialism is viewed more positively and Capitalism more negatively by adults with family income less than $30K than Adults wi...
Of course it was never meant to be entirely democratic as it was constructed by slave-owners who subsequently only allowed property owning white men t...
I think Sanders and Warren both did an excellent job tonight; she certainly wasn't eclipsed by him and ultimately they both made a strong argument for...
Constructing a complex socio-politico-economical system that substantively affects human lives from the fiat of two abstract principles is the modus o...
It's not optimism; I have no idea how any of the Democratic candidates will actual fair against Trump when it comes down to election day, and anyone w...
Sure, but that outcome isn't true of several key states that Trump previously won including Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, etc. So while Ohio may cu...
All serious Democratic candidates are polling higher 1:1 against Trump, so I don't understand why ideological position matters at this juncture. At be...
If you want to feel happy for a fleeting hour or so watch this excellent debate regarding Greek vs. Rome and which culture modernity is more indebted ...
I didn't argue this. You said that "no one is telling in either of the two parties to be more moderate." I pointed out how this is not true. That's it...
Except for not one, not two, not three, but at least four, regular NYT Op-Ed columnists written just in the last month or so (and in fact both Bret St...
lol you said I was a "fucking media puppet" so here is a reminder for you to put your pants on first tomorrow morning and then your shoes. Seems like ...
The questions and set of answers are very clearly presented in each of the polls I've provided, all of which have been from PEW Research which is a ve...
Outside of the fact that I simply don't believe for an instant that you are anyone here has "interviewed" immigrants on their views of undocumented im...
You do realize that @"halo" is a random person on the internet, right? And who do you think takes these surveys and polls if not "actual immigrants"? ...
I was traveling around Texas speaking to some Mexicans and they all were saying how much they love Trump! Every single one! They said to me, we came i...
I wouldn't necessarily say rural since they are undeniable megachurches in areas such as California that are solidly pro-Trump. Not to mention the fac...
It has nothing to do with manipulation. If the public approval for Medicare goes down because of a specific concern viz., that people will lose their ...
Sure, but as I point out clarification and framing can shift this approval. So as I said, the way to confront this issue for voters is to say, well ac...
Easy problem to confront given that the average person holds ~11 different jobs by the time they are 50, meaning that - assuming each employer actuall...
Also to all everyone saying working class people love Trump or are conservative etc. no, sorry this isn't 1953. Working class doesn't equal white or w...
