Instead of Gish Galloping across topics we need to land this thing and get bearings. I have to go out for a while.
I landed some time ago, but I encourage you to try and get me back in the air. You probably know I'm a pretty stubborn mofo however. Try sending me gold bullion.
In this context you are right... but it seems you haven't been following the discussion Tux and I have been having across many threads. It's not been so much about capitalism vs socialism but more along the lines of "is organized central government a good or bad thing". BTW, thanks for editing away your disparaging comments about me. That was very thoughtful of you.
When a Conservative mentions "Socialism" you know they 1. are trying to sound smart. 2. are just parroting talking points they learned on Fox news. (Perhaps a formal education would have benefited that person). Right now Republicans are claiming Biden is withholding disaster relief from Reublican areas devastated by Helene. They should be cheering this on. Disaster relief is socialism. Why I am I paying for some bozo who didn't prepare for a hurricane?
Ok... whatever. You can all stuff your straw men back into the closet and leave them there since you're only masturbating yourselves with them. If you're interested in the ideas Tux and I were debating maybe pick up the conversation from here. I'll leave you to your own devices though because you'd almost always rather play games.
I'm not sure that is the conversaron we have been having or just what you want to discuss because Rothbard in fresh in your mind? Right, back later.
