  1. Yep. People who fail to keep it brief usually are trying to obfuscate. By way of contrast, see how von Mises or Sowell put their points across. It's as if they're being charged by the word

  2.  @jimsackmanbusinesscoaching1344  What the electorate wants is impossible, politicians have to lie. People want free stuff but they also don't want to work more hours

  4. Scandinavian countries (not to overly generalise, they are all different) are mixed market economies with tax burdens not wildly dissimilar to countries such as France and Germany. In some aspects, their markets are freer than the US

  10. I think we need to separate out (to some extent) actual technical democracy from other forms of government which have varying levels of representative rule.

  11.  @sedargames8161  '19th century empires were capitalist empires and produced a socialist opposition' WW1 was about a nationalist opposition to imperialism, not socialist.
