The right kind of man, pun intended. I wish he sticks with Austrian economics all the way.

@BOULDERGEEK " Like Mussolini?" >>Mussolini was a hard headed Marxist. In fact he owned a socialist newspaper by the name of "La Lotta di Classe" (or "The class struggle" - You couldn't find a more Marxist name than that). Then he got an editor's position in "Avanti!", the most prominent socialist newspaper in Italy of that era. The Austrians are the most anti-Marxist, ani-Socialist, Anti-Fascist school of thought there is. Von Bohm Bawerk debunked Marxism a few years after the death of Marx. Mussolini, Fascism and National Socialism are pro big government, anti-free market and pro collectivism (with an ultranationalist perspective), the Austrians are pro individual, pro free market and anti-big government and totally against collectivism. Someone needs to learn history/economic theory.

@sjj7236 Yeah, guns worked great for Americans as well as the Swiss. You have no idea what you are talking about. Any idea why those countries never ever came close to a political coup while most European ones had a junta and/ or Fascism/ National Socialism and Socialism tale over? Guess what would be the deterrent for these coups!

@danwelterweight4137 and you don't know what you are talking about in general. You are talking about a dictatorial system (which, by definition, is socialism - it needs a violent revolution to begin with), conceptualized by an immoral man, a failure in real life (he couldn't even manage his household economics, yet he had the arrogance to theorized about macro economics and socioeconomics) who misconceptualized even his basic tenets like the labor theory of value. Go read some Austrian economics to learn something real.

@john-wo4rv say that to the Keynesians, they think not.

@madselmvig1457 "just on the top of the mind comes his promise to dismantle cultural benefits (which is a very fascist thing to do and a very Anti Libertarian thing). Also his promise to crack down hard on liberal media, also smell a lot of fascism. Abolishment of abortion is not libertarian as it diminish the person freedom of the citizen." >>Absolute nonsense! You clearly don't know what you are talking about! Cultural benefits (or handouts) are State-induced discrimination, by definition, and have nothing to do with libertarianism. Why would a group have more benefits than the next one or have their assets seized so as to benefit others? THAT'S Fascism/Socialism and it's based on theft under the threat of government violence. Promising to crack down on media means he's going to try to unlink the media from government influence, not ban them altogether. Government-sponsored media = indoctrination and propaganda = socialism/fascism! Prohibition of (certain) abortions is PROTECTION of the weakest in society. Those that don't even have a saying/can defend their own right to life. That would be the fetuses and embryos. However, this is a policy that will need a lot of thought to be implemented in the right fashion.

@madselmvig1457 listen, you know shit about history and its dynamics. Superficial reading of your echo chamber's side doesn't award you a "professor of history" degree. Mussolini, his father and Giovanni Gentile (the philosopher of Fascism) all started from being hardcore Marxists. That's a fact. Note it down! It's important! "Fascism" is derived from the latin "Fasces" which is a collectivist symbol and essentially means "Power in unity" (the exact opposite of individualism). Now, when WW1 happened, ambitious socialists/Marxists wannabe dictators, observed that "the international proletariat revolution" wasn't attracting much support which meant there was no future for them in politics going that way. Hence they tweaked their collectivist thoughts by introducing an ultranationalist perspective which was what was trending in their times. In fact nationalist feelings manned the armies of all countries during the First War. Marxism evolved, changing patrons and ideology all along in order to fit the narrative of the era. They still execute exactly the same practice which points to opportunistic SOBs. Leninism, Trotskyism, Stalinism, Maoism, even Pol Pot, all had their own version of Marxism. If you ever bothered to read Nationalist Socialist, Hitler's pamphlets (and their official program - on which they got elected), they were anti-market, pro-collectivism, pro-big government and pro-social programs, central planning economies. But you obviously haven't, hence your profound ignorance on the matter. Mind you, Hitler stole many voters from ... the German Communist party to get elected! Many of his votes came from ex-communists and the left. Now if your ignorant brain has a difficulty to understand why an ultranationalist ideology may be hostile to internationalist ideology while, at the same time, competing for each others' vote for a collectivist central planning economy, it's not up to me to tell you. Common sense should. But I guess you lack clarity.

@madselmvig1457 Puzzle: Who uttered the following words? "We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions." You win a swastika if you find it.

@jeffrydiamond Very!

@homeistheearth Socialism doesn't work. Period! Fascism is the ultranationalist version of Socialism. Mussolini was a hard headed Marxist before inventing Fascism with another ex-Marxist, Giovanni Gentile.

@brettallen7632 only a Socialist could describe 32% taxation with an "only" in front, essentially forcing a one-sided agreement to partnership with the government. Governments with the worst capital allocation you can possibly imagine. Thieves!
