  1. Need I remind you what gave Fascism power was people, DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED A NATIONAL SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT, and then let them take control of the means of production, labour, and write the laws. Legal doesn't always mean right. Beware of letting Socialism take control, the government SHOULD NEVER have that much power over your life.

  2. Right, Liberalism, Classical liberalism is great, right up until busy bodies start finding ways to fix morality issues through the force of government. ...gee what ever could go wrong? Anything the government gives you was first stolen (and now days, leveraged with a central bank in a process of debt control called fractional reserve banking) More laws are not the solution, conversation and individual education success is.

  3. I have read it. Be careful virtue signaling with the extorted wealth of others. The quickest way for monopolies to form is to protect them with laws. The auto industry is a perfect example. Environmental regulations, labour regulations, and Safety regulations (all sound great on paper), but drove up the costs so astronomically high that it kills your and my ability to start our own car company. Instead, I like choice. Why can't I say "look bro, I am not wealthy, I understand that I can buy a car in India that has no airbags for $3000.... where do I sign?' The idea we can control reality with more laws always... ALWAYS, backfires. Usually the politicians benefit the most when you go down that road, because they are the puppet masters (right or left). That said, I'm not an anarchist either. You become too anarchist, you leave yourself open for a very statist government to invade. George Carlin - 'Always be aware of idiots in large numbers'.

  6. It is supposed to be. They unfortunately allowed a private bank and IRS to take control of the value of money, and then protected it by law in 1913. Literally handing the economy over, and protecting it, by government forces. AKA, the death of capitalism. Then, slowly they chipped away and created the process of debt control. The solution isn't more government... they were the cause of this. The solution is to stop protecting monopolies (especially the federal reserve) with regulations. less regulations help free people to determine who passes or fails in business by the way they spend their money, (not their debt)

  7. NASA basically started from a NAZI who used jewish slaves to create rockets. Though, the socialists of the USSR also did the same thing. So as much as I dislike the US, I also know that this is a human morality issue that can't be fixed by government. ...nor, anarchy isn't the solution either. If the US had neglected to take advantage of those NAZI's, the Soviets would have, and it would have been a matter of time before the USSR took advantage of the US's weaker stance and then came to take its wealth to 'redistribute'. That balance is a scary one to play. Instead, we as individuals need to fight for a more Libertarian approach, where we free markets so good people can create good things without the need for boarders, without the need for protectionism, without the need to take from others. That again is a morality thing, but where I come from, I believe in Choice.
