9/21 Dear socialists. Please stop your childish mockery of the
invisible hand. It is getting old. -free market supporter
\_ You are a tool, and are the reason it's fun to mock free market
supporters. The ideas of free market economics outlasted the
USSR, have spread across the globe, and have won out again and again
in the brutal international marketplace of ideas. They can also
survive The Hand that Wanks the Motd, and they can survive without
your whining.
\_ why don't we abolish SEC, EPA, FDA, FAA, and National Highway
Safety Board, let the market decide the minimum safety
requirements and insider trading?
\_ The proletariat will rise up and crush you, capitalist running
dog. --mao
\_ the reason why I am a leftist is precisely this. if we don't
try to narrow the gap between the rich and poor, at some
point proletariats will rise up.
\_ Actually, you're wrong. There are almost no pure free markets.
In the "market of ideas", the winner is really that the best
economic system is a mix of free market and gov't regulation.
Extremism in either direction causes much suffering.
\_ I'm not advocating pure free markets, or any other economic
system. I'm just pointing out that op's whining is idiotic.
I didn't start this idiotic thread.
\_ The invisible hand can not be resisted. --the invisible hand |
