It is ABSOLUTELY disgusting in MY mind that people could ADVERTISE for Socialism in the 21st century..good lord…
To anybody else out there, NO..the red bar and star on my state’s flag DOESN’T stand for communism, just so folks know.
Anyway, I wonder if communists can be filed under “enemy combatants” for changing our way of life, capitalism?
The Idiots fail to realize their great messiah Marxist/Socialist Obama,the Turd in Americas Punch bowl is causing this. They cant handle the change they voted for
@ Nick – it disgusts me that anyone would support Keynesianism of any sort given the history of failure it has. Out and out socialism is little different nor is the state capitalism we’ve lived in.
Liberty and true free market capitalism is what man needs.
8 comments to the list in the second picture in order
1. End monopolistic government controls (ie all government controls)
2. Socialism in the end is death by forced non diversity. We do not need it and it is the greatest evil, man’s old enemy.
3. The revolution you seek is the same as it always was, none.
4. While obviously not desirable for the individual who has even one of those stated problems, no wait, it would be better even if it does hurt for a while.
5. Capitalism, the only system that cares not for your skin color, sex or choice of partners, must go? You can kindly go jump into a lake.
6. Winning rights suggests that they are not man’s to begin with. If they are human then they have rights, including the right of private property. While I disagree with many on the subject here and elsewhere, on their property they can exclude whomever they want and forbidding them not to is a violation of their rights.
7. I do agree here, but socialist and semi-socialist countries and societies tend to do this far more than any other group.
8. Liberty in Cuba (and the USA and the world)! Free market revolution in Venezuela (and the USA and the world)!
I couldn’t find “Keynesianism” at Dictionary.com, that was a new one for me. If ya can give me a definition, I can tell ya how I feel about it
If it’s anywhere close to socialism..then I hate it
Yeah, Kushin, It sure seems to be they think Socialism is the panacea for all of Liberalism’s causes. Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, and Immigrant “rights”. All answered by a failed economic system?
Well, I guess if we all have nothing, we are equal.
Oh, and can someone tell me about the strength of labor unions in say, Cuba?
Nick,
He’s referring to John Maynard Keynes, a British economist. I studied him in macroeconomics in college. He was at one point very influential and respected in the U.S. and around the free world. Around the late 70s/early 80s his views started to become discredited. No surprise that our wise president believes in his views known as Keynesian economics.
BRFan has got it for the most part, though when his ideas were discredited, they just “reformed the school” and continued the same policies in slightly different ways. For example, Stagflation is supposedly impossible under the Keynesianism, but as far I know it is the only economic philosophy that it has actually happened under. The Austrian school of economics (not to be confused with Austria or anything else from the country) correctly foresaw the problems of Keynes’s policies and of Socialism as well and promoted the free market and just about everything separated from government (schools, economy, currency, ie) and though I can’t say that it is an absolute split yet (I haven’t yet seen where they would allow for government though) I can say that consistency would disallow for government as it is practiced today.
Yeah, Keynesian economics is all about how government spending can solve all of our problems, etc.
To check out the logical, consistent, and predictively accurate Austrian School (started by Ludwig Von Mises) check out http://www.mises.org. I’ve seen some commentors on here talking about the FED, and mises really lays out the dangers of the FED and what proper monetary policy is (which is, not surprisingly, none!).
Anyway, there’s tons of free literature and op/eds that talk about everything from why the depression wasn’t a free market phenomenon all the way up to present day. It might be a bit too libertarian for some people, but have an open mind about it. It’s all about personal liberty and making government smaller.
