Why Socialism (and Communism) Fails and why our society is being destroyed

Wrong. Capitalism assumes that there will be people. That is all.

 

The whole first world has become completely socialized. Socialism, in practice, is neo-serfdom. The people are slaves on the land to the masters, the ruling elite. With no chance of ever owning land or property or business, and no chance of moving higher in the world.

What you are describing is the Keynesian theory of economics.

But the Keynesians can't explain or understand the business cycle correctly or account for stagflation. The truth is: there can be no meeting between life and death, rationality and irrationality. The public sector, and all socialized activities, and all powers of legislation to regulate private enterprises, have to go.

 

Yeah, and something even better happens. Even better than cheap good quality health care. If you don't like it, then you can start your own! No regulations, no restrictions on what you have to pay people, no land tax, no tax of any sort. Same with schools. If you want to start a school in your backyard then you can!

"How will consumers be protected!?", I hear you cry. Through sound judgment; their own. Through the reputation of the company with whom they are dealing and with their own knowledge of what they are buying.

 

Capitalism is best for the poor. Goods are cheap, and demand for services mean jobs / business opportunities. You ignorant advocates of socialism do not realize that the slums created by your large government political philosophies only support life because micro-capitalism occurs on a grand scale within them. The people in the slums of India only survive BECAUSE they are capitalists. They all run little businesses.

Yes this effect is the result of your altruistic philosophies. In your world you'd rather no one ever be rich and everyone be poor; equally poor. However this is never the reality. Socialism, is, in practice, serfdom. Those above the law remain rich and those below the law remain poor.

It is only capitalism that allows everyone equal opportunity to pursue their own goals and therefore to create wealth.

Sustainable development is the biggest fallacy the left wing have ever brewed. More fallacious than man made global warming. More fallacious even than the Keynesian theory of inflation.

According to you we have been engaged in 'unsustainable development' for the entire period of the industrial revolution. What dire consequences do you speak of? The fact that people have food to eat and warm houses? The fact that traveling 100 kilometers takes only an hour and can be accomplished by even the lowest member of society for the cost of a cup of coffee? Are these the dire consequences of which you speak? Technological progress. Humanitarian progress?

You owe your very existence to it, and yet you damn it. You damn the free market. You'd rather a tree lived in your place. Go then, go forth and die for your love of the environment.

 

Ridiculous. You don't understand the seriousness of your position. You do not understand that you are condemning greater than half the world's population of humans to death. You have no right to decide if others live or die. No right.

The UN has been intervening since its inception, rarely with good results. The world's fuel supplies are not going to run out. This is a psuedoscientific myth pushed by those who would have you believe Arabs are going to jump out from behind a rock and kill you.

IRAQ is Israel's war. 9/11 was Israel's doing. And peak oil and global warming are an attempt to destroy the middle east by destroying the credibility of the only thing it produces -- oil.

You treat oil as though it were a natural resource. What a fool you are. Crude oil was a disgusting waste product, and still is, of producing lamp oil. It was only through capitalism that oil was discovered to be a fuel. It is not a natural resource -- it is a natural waste product, turned into a fuel by capitalism. Without capitalism we would still be dumping it into the ocean.

Well to begin with, ozone depletion is entirely separate to global warming. Ozone depletion did not cease when CFC's were banned. This is because the 'cause' of ozone depletion was just a THEORY, a theory that proved to be largely incorrect.

The restraint is by large government; it is merchantalistic. They do it for profit and power, not to "save" the environment.

Hahahaha. Firstly I reject your premise that "man does cause global warming." Evidence, please.

Now you are throwing a whole bunch of things into the mix. To begin with acid rain is caused by the failure of government to allow class action suits against polluting factories.

If someone sets up a chemical factory on the block next door to me, and he pollutes my air, thus damaging my body, then I have every right to sue him for doing so. It would be no different had he walked onto my property and hit me in the stomach.

But, airports, factories, and general large polluters are protected from class action lawsuits, basically everywhere in the world, by government. The governments argue that it is for the "greater good of society". So again, your problem is caused by government, not capitalism.

How fucking ridiculous. I suppose you think that electricity is a natural resource? That medical science is a natural resource? Indeed, that doctors and scientists are natural resources. These are the things and people to which you owe your very existence. The technology and understanding created by men of the mind, made only possible through capitalism, are those things to which you owe your life. Your position is outrageous -- nature provides nothing. Man must bend nature to his will in order that he can survive.

Altruistic rubbish! How do you think you got all the undeserved 'stuff' and technology and knowledge you have today? It was through the virtue of selfishness. People never achieve ANYTHING unless they are free to peruse their own goals.

You would have the investment capital for a new factory go toward feeding the undeserving homeless. You would sacrifice 100 jobs and several lifetimes of wealth creation so that 50 people may eat once. ONCE.

Altruism is a fallacy. Man only progresses through selfishness and mutual trade. If all we did was give away the product of our labour then no one would have anything - as we saw in soviet russia. Immense poverty, starvation, cannibalism.

Oh what crap. Why are they there to begin with you silly fool? Do you even understand why people are so poor in those countries? It is because entry into the business industry in those countries is fucking impossible. There is no competetion to bid up the price of their labour.

If labour is so cheap there then why can't I start a factory and make lots of money? Why can't everyone? That would bid up the price of labour, would it not? The reason we cannot is because the corrupt government stops any new businesses being formed in those countries. They only allow transnationals with billions of dollars to use as bribes to come in and setup factories. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE SO POOR. In a capitalist society they would be wealthy.

Its not a fallacy. If they make less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day that does not make the expense of travel more expensive. It is still the same price as a cup of coffee.

And why is that? It is because of corrupt large government. People are not free to have and create wealth in third world nations. Hell we are not free to do it anymore, and we are moving toward third world status. Australia, UK, Canada, US. All becoming socialist cesspools.

Capitalism is perfect. You don't understand it. You've never had it. You are entirely ignorant to the principles on which it is based. You are the product of compulsory socialist formal education. Disgusting; A child of the state.

 

You can keep your nanny state if you want, just leave us libertarians in peace to live our own lives the way we want to, on land we own outright.

The same way it was won originally; through bloody revolution.

Israel wants the middle east dead. Their plan has many facets.
Global warming -- destroy oil in the minds of consumers.
Terrorism -- demonize Arabs in the eyes of the world.
Iraq and Afghanistan wars -- destabilize the middle east.
