  1. The poverty of socialist ideology on display.

  2. Communism controls everything by force and dictate.  Exchanging favor for availability of favor is Capitalism.  Transacting by voluntary exchange (Capitalism) simple means there is no force involved.  I do hope the giant collective does not crash down on his dreams and ruin his life.  The hysterical leftists nitwits often do that over the kind of science mentioned.  I am for Liberty.

  3. guachingman If they "used to make"  then what happened to those fine products of Socialists?   Always trying to blame the results of socialist ideology on Liberty and Freedom.  Good luck with that line of non reasoning.

  4. fckwhat Non socialist country?  Where? If I got off my high horse, I'd still be well above the gutter of ideologies of force.  When you argue against Liberty you are representing slavery as superior.  Slavery is a tenant of socialist/progressive/communist ideology.  I reject it completely and indisputably immoral.

  5. Wiki says " A doctor’s salary in the late 1990s was equivalent to about US$15–20 per month in purchasing power."   Yes, if I were a slave to the socialist dictators of Cuba and had a chance to escape, I would go treat Ebola also.  Socialism is slavery.  Socialism is evil because it only exists by the power of slavery through the initiation of force on otherwise peaceful people.  Your attempt to put a shine on the enslavement of Cuba's people is despicable.   Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_Cuba

  6. 7ISK7 Why is it every failure of Socialist / Communist ideology as quickly blamed on anything pro Liberty?   Why can't Socialists stand without poverty, without firing squads, without slavery of the masses?

  7. Socialists in Germany killed 6 million for the "greater good".  Stalin killed 10 million was it?  for what?  For the ideology.  Kim Jon Il? What a loon.  Venezuela where the killing has begun?   You people are all the same, Ideology before human life.  Deny the blood afterwards.  After all, you've never been given the "proper chance" to fully install your hateful ideology and kill us all.
    6
  8. Oh, obviously.  You blame communists 10 million killed under Stalin as the fault of "a conservative state".   You leftists think everybody is stupid.  Every problem of socialism/communism/collectivism is the fault of "conservatives".   Keep blaming the failures of your system on Liberty.  The fools will continue to follow.   I judge the ideology. I don't choose what you identify as.  You can identify as a piece of oak of you wish.  I am for Liberty.  All alternatives are slavery and subjugation.  Evil in the extreme.  I am for Liberty.

  9. fckwhat  Cuba and the poverty of socialist ideology is what we are talking about.  Not those other countries.  When in your heart you wish to defend socialist ideology, I can see how difficult my assertions are to deal with.  Thus why you bring up the others to redirect away from the burning truth.   Socialist ideology inevitably leads to death and poverty.  Cuba is a perfect example of the socialists have planned for the rest of us.  Total slavery to a ruling class.   I reject the notion of stealing my living from others as a high immorality.  I reject socialist ideology as a slave culture.  One where people are promised benefits off the back of other people.  Slavery exactly.

  11. DAVID VAN VEEN Who's condemning the people of Cuba?  I certainly am not.  I want them to be free.  And I'm not afraid to point out the slavery of socialist ideology as immoral and poverty ridden.  When will you cry fro freedom?  I condemn the slave masters of socialist and communist ideology.  I describe and point out the evil of those who purpose others like farm animals while they eat steak and Lobster.  Che was a mass murderer.  Like all socialist leaders, he was the cause of grave digging.  A despicable evil man.  I am for Liberty.  No excuses for parasites.

  12. fckwhat I am simply for Liberty.  Socialist ideology is one of poverty.  Equality of Poverty for all is nearly always the result.  I'm tired of traitors to the idea of America attempting to try one more time here.  I'm here to point out the failure of systems that use force and violence.  Systems which institutionalize slavery for all.   For what is a person when the results of their production are taken away for the disposal of another person if not a slave?  My desire is for Liberty for all, for Cuba, for North Korea, for everybody. I am opposed to non-choice.  I am opposed to subjugation.  I am for the acknowledgement of Liberty as the highest moral status for man above every other alternative.  All alternatives to choice require force, violence and guns of the state.  I am for Liberty.

  13. ***** Name for me one capitalist society.  One place where all exchanges are voluntary. 
    3
  14. serjthereturn Everything that is not Capitalism is a form of exchange or production where force is imposed.  All non voluntary interactions where one person is peaceable and does not initiate force are examples of slavery.  Slavery is as evil regardless of the degree just as child molestation is evil regardless of the degree.  I refuse and reject your collectivists (Bakunin) attempt to redefine freedom as a privilege.  A privilege is granted and can be taken away.  The right to be free, the right to act in ones own self interest is intrinsic, natural, indisputable.  The only thing in dispute is regarding your willingness to acknowledge you have no right to govern another individual.  Freedom and Liberty can only be acknowledged.  They exist as natural rights regardless of any persons acknowledgement just as the sun rises regardless of denials.

  16. ***** The availability of goods and services sucks don't it.  People offering to trade you for clothing, auto's, tools, homes.  It all sucks compared to living in grass hut.  Hell, just think of it, we could all be sitting around a dung fire picking bugs off each other eating sustainable algae cakes provided by a revolutionary communist elitist.  Give me your address so I can send a truck to pick up all that stuff that is torturing your life.

  17. Fernando Luna So your argument is Communists are no Socialists?  Wiki: "constitutionally defined as a Marxist-Leninist "socialist state"  CubaTreks: "Cuba is a republic with a centralized socialist system "   Now we've established that your uninformed.  Also consider that your argument is they are poor because of a lack of access to Capitalism.  YES, I AGREE!  Do you realize how contradictory your education is?   Smack yourself awake.   There is no freedom, no "Capitalism" (voluntary exchange) under Socialist, Progressives or Communists.  They are the same in that they enslave each person to the state and other peoples needs as defined by the state elitists.  It's a life of slavery.  A live of nearly everything taken from you to be redistributed to others (mostly the ruling elite).  It's slavery. I never ranted against the people of Cuba who are beautiful and I'm certain capable of hard work and meaningful production.  I pointed out the poverty of socialist ideology.  I'm pointing out the nasty ugly ignorance of supporters of socialism, communism, progressive'ism and whatever other name used to make force sound positive.  I am for Cuba.  I am for complete and open voluntary exchange between Cuba and America.  I am for Capitalism and opposed to all state force interfering with voluntary exchange in any way from either side.   You know nothing.

  18. serjthereturn How do you claim the right to prevent people from voluntary exchange of goods and services?  Are you god?
    3
  19. serjthereturn All alternatives to the market are trade by force.  You said: "I guess we'll just have to leave you guys to blindly worship at the altar of the 'market' (sic)" Disparaging voluntary exchange through the market is to support involuntary exchange by force.  Force is evil when applied to emancipated adults who force no one.  There are no exceptions.  Why do you advocate for force?  Why is there room in your life for gain by the initiation of force?

  20. Is that all you have Harald?  I'd happily review any actual comments on the subject.  I doubt anybody is interested in personal venom.

  21. You confuse Communism with voluntary cooperation.  If there is no element of force, it's not Communism.  What you are doing by using the term is attempting to (or inadvertently) cast(ing) a positive light on dark history of communism.  It's like claiming to be good Nazi or a good slave master or the good kind of molester or the good kind of rapist.  Communism is evil.  It cannot co-exist with Liberty. Coercion and force of non-initiators of force against their consent is evil.   If what you do allows for Liberty completely, then you are no Communist in my estimation.  You are free to identify as whatever you want however.  As I am free to consider the merits of such.  I am for Liberty as the highest moral value.   The Liberty to cooperate or not to.  I am for voluntary exchange.  I am for Liberty.

  22. Thank you for the link.  I did read it.   I contend "From each according it his ability. to each according to his need" is simply an establishment of slavery.  When one person is stripped of the results of their production for the use and disposal of another, he has become that persons slave.   Indisputably, a child is born into a debt of production for the purposes of other persons. How many societies do we have to establish of this nature before we realize that people only produce maximally for themselves.   They simply lay down their tools, only making what they themselves need if the surplus is stolen for another's purposes.    Will it take another 500 years? A need is not a claim.  Claims put upon people without their consent can only be enforced with violence or threat of same.  While the promise of free access to the larder is very attractive to many, it simply leads immediately to non-production.

  23. Great interview subject, yet a thumbs down for the introduction.  Man caused global warming is a stupid sucker hoax and it has nothing to do with goose population.   It's exactly what the pilot says it is.  "Ridiculously short hunting season" and other government actions prohibiting the natural cycle of man eating the abundance of nature.  If you you let these idiots protect cows, you'd have them roaming in your public parks also.  There are places where wolves are protected at the expense of cages where children wait for the school bus.   Duh!!!!  Why can't we use such devices in the USA to provide needed services?   Because of our idiot over reaching government.  I thank the pilot as a hero for providing needed services.  Let us ridicule those who cry out for government force to address every concern.  It's laws against your culinary choices and ridiculous overreach of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.  Yes folks, it's true, once you let them put a law in place it almost never goes away.  They become important sources of government revenue, wages and retirements.   It is a way of accessing (or farming) peoples stream of productivity for a living.   You were not even alive in 1918 to agree to this contract but you will pay.   Next time some predator suggests a new law, remember the lesson of the Canada Goose.

  24. Viking Shaman The Socialists ruling elite produce surfs to serve their wealth by presenting an allusion of an easy life with endless free services paid for by others.  The appetite for materialism is driven by the product of Socialist ideology: Hardship.  And every Socialist failure is of course, the fault of desires to accumulate resources to work ones way out of the coerced equality of poverty.  Thus the ruling elites maintain a kind of gold rush fever illness among their surfs.   A constant struggle producing for the ruling elite a life of steak and lobster.   The few who discover their slavery are sent to prison,  Siberia or the La-Bianca.  It's an old formula.   This has been a presentation of "Enslaving Men" subtitle, "Communism in a Nutshell".

  25. Viking Shaman He is drunk with Gold Rush (free stuff) fever.  It's an intoxicant.  I question if reason can be a cure.   For most, even decaying in poverty does not bring about a revolution in their minds.  It only reinforces their resolve right unto the moment they expire.  In seeking to take by force others life force they sacrifice their own.  Their fellow revolutionaries are strengthened in their resolve by suffering.   It's a suicide pact.   They'll keep scheming for that gold to their own death.  All the while, those at the steak and lobster table pass the time ---- and the caviar.  It's a great "business" this enslaving of a population to your own purposes.  They are so convinced they do most of the enforcement themselves.

  26. Philip Hartmann I'm pulling for him.  An exciting mind and a productive purpose.  An Atlas among men.  May the Wesley Mouch's of this world be ridiculed out of his path.  I am for Individual Liberty.  His Liberty to proceed with his dreams.

  27. nustada Yea, they've got them fully submitted to over there, the Progressives are finalizing our final disposition in similar fashion here as well. Keep the ridicule finely tuned my friend.

  28. fckwhat Who is suggesting to move Cubans from socialist slavery to the ruling elite into prostitution?  You are not addressing any of my remarks.  The suggestion is despicably evil.  I wish to move them into voluntary exchange, away from subjugation to communist "equality" of poverty economic system.  My desire is for all people to escape such oppression. I certainly agree many of them are genius and showed great creativity and individual exceptionalism.   I celebrate such individuals as the hero's of any societies capacity for wealth creation. I am exactly for people helping themselves.  I am for the Acknowledgement of their natural Liberty to do so without being under any hindrance or coercion from collectives "controllers" sapping a living of their backs. I oppose all force used against people who force no one.  ALL.  I am for Liberty.

  29. Capitalism is simply voluntary exchange.   Please elaborate how violence and force (the only alternatives to violence and force) are moral and who taught you this.  I oppose slavery in all it's forms.

  31. Sean Quinn Those who defend the leftist ideology regardless of it's history are no different than the leftists that defend socialist WWII Germany.  It's a sickness.   Let us pity them.  We must guard ourselves against leftists trying to destroy our lives as others have been destroyed.   Left unchecked, they will double down on the Socialist/Communist killing or starving to death of 120 million as one more attempt to establish Utopia.  Remember Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler, and all the rest.  Never let them forget who their hero's are.
    2
  32. fckwhat "your likes who wanted to justify the end."  This statement is the trophy of your ignorant rant.  I am for a completely voluntary relationships among people. I consider violence rationalized to establish some utopia like "the end" or the "the greater good" to be the height of evil.  Most ideologies are simply ways of rationalizing the use of force to obtain from the backs of others all or a portion of ones needs.  As if a "need" is a claim on the property of others.   Robbers, thieves and molesters the lot.
    2
  33. serjthereturn  "Trade and exchanging goods is not capitalism. Capitalism is the private ownership of production."  All conditions that are not "Capitalism" require force and violence to maintain.  When the State owns the means of production how are people prevented from providing goods and services if not by the gun barrel?  See Socialist/Communist history for the millions who where shot in the head or starved to death to prevent them for working in their own self interest. Rational people reject state slavery. "As is altruism and team-work, solidarity, working together to achieve common goals and being sociable."  Who would dispute your right to sacrifice yourself (altruism) or to work as a team to achieve common goals?  If you choose to do so fine.  What is evil is choosing for others.  What is evil is using the violence and force of the state to make people take your own personal decisions.  If your way is good, why is a gun needed to acheive utopia?  How many millions more with a "goals" not your own must die to create socialist heaven?   Who said I was Libertarian?  That is your claim.  You prove it.  Capitalists (as opposed to Croney Socialists) get their money because people voluntarily trade it to them for goods.  This is how capital is accumulated so we can have complex things like automobiles and refrigerators.  How do you propose preventing people from choosing where to spend their money (or trade their goods & services) with people you do not personally approve of? I am for your right to choose to spend your money (trade value) with anybody that will likewise voluntarily choose to exchange with you.   What you propose is non voluntary exchange.   All exchange that is non-voluntary requires violence or the promise of violence in order to preserve the slavery.  When you subjugate a persons choices and force them to take you own, you are establishing slavery. I oppose all mixing of government and economics.  Monopolies (save one example I can think of) are always and only exist by support and force of government.  I oppose all force on those who have forced no one.  Monopolies are the result of government force, dictate and license. I am for Liberty.

  34. I said "you know nothing" in response your attempt to assert your guess of my position.  You know nothing of my positions which I have not yet stated.  It seemed less snarky even if less accurate than the more correct term "Ignorant".   I try to avoid name calling which is a resignation that translates simply into "I have no argument." I am excited to have my ideas challenged.  Please quote me and fire away.   I don't know with certainty what you mean by "name" or "decent".  I make no assumption from photo's or names.  For example, there is an idiot who pretends to be a black intellectual by his photo but is actually a leftist KKK idiot posing as black.  I make no assumptions.  I strive to only respond to what you say.  I don't even want to know anything about your extraction unless it's important to understand your point or an example.  It really mostly just doesn't mater. Did I say the sulfurous smoking hand of government?  That is what I meant.  I'm interested in philosophy and ideology.  I'm not interested in race other than to say that I acknowledge Liberty as the highest condition of man (regardless of race) and meaningful productivity his highest purpose (regardless of race).  I am pro Cuban, Pro Liberty for all.  Are there Martians?  I am pro Liberty for Martians as well.  My purpose is to ridicule leftists as wanting us all sitting around a dung fire eating algae cakes picking bugs off each other.  They are not much different from ISIL.  They want us to return to the 7th century while they live in castles eating steaks paid for off our backs.  I don't' believe most Cuban celebrate their slavery to the leftists that rule Cuba. I appreciate you response and your acknowledging a point.  Perhaps you do know something.  ;-) I reject all excuses for Communism.  All ideologies that rationalize subjugation of people to anything other than their own peaceful self interest as they see it are establishments of slavery over Liberty.  I am for Liberty. I reject slavery without regard to how it is sold by those who wish to profit from it.  Communism where and whenever it exists is slavery of the individual to the needs of others by force of threat of violence from the state.  It's such a good idea, it works at the end of a gun.  It's violent always and every time.  I am for Liberty.

  35. serjthereturn What you are describing I call Crony Socialism.  Where the state provides through threat of force and use of violence market protections, money from tax payers, licensing to limit market participants. Tell me, how do we have large things like power plants and automobile manufacturers if thousands (or tens of thousands) of people do not pool their assets together to accumulate the equipment and tooling to pull it off?   In your era before voluntary cooperation, you could have a horse and carriage because a man or family could build it and sell it to you.  I want more.  Tell Stalin and Marx to stick it.

  36. serjthereturn You misspelled it.  It should be g-v-e-r-n-m-e-n-t.  The mafia and government are indistinguishable.

  37. nustada When they spell it "Labour" your dealing with pure blood communist.   They want to live by force.  Nothing they make belongs to their employer.  They deserve every penny of profit and ownership of every machine and the building they work in.  They are useful only as the sewer in the background to provide contrast for the beauty of Liberty and Freedom.   Use them.  Don't try to convert them.  Use them to your purposes, attach them to the violence they represent.  Pull the rug off the sewer of their ideology.

  38. nustada "Again if socialism is so great and capitalism is so evil, the embargo should be a good thing for them."  Cudo's   Proper ridicule.  Their minds have been subverted.  Reason a logic escape them.   Keep it up.

  39. serjthereturn You answer nothing, thank you for the resignation.
    2
  40. serjthereturn You are ignoring the implications of the definition in order to retain your constructed self image and access to goods and services under partial force of government.  No widely respected economist calls our system Capitalism.  They call it modified Capitalism.   In other words, not Capitalism.  Smack yourself awake.  It's more important to be correct than to defend a wrong position.  I am for Liberty.

  41. There are no examples of cities without theft. Yet we agree theft is immoral.  There is no priori between the frequency of occurrence and the morality of an act.   If I mentioned a place with many rapes or no rapes at all, it would not rationalize rape as moral or immoral.  The frequency of occurrence and is not related to the morality of the act.  Thus, I don't know of what value the answer would be.  Additionally, I have not claimed there were any such places.  Examples of Capitalist exchanges would be free of coercion would be:  Any person or entity providing services or goods without government market protections (licensing for example) to any other person where both parties enter into the transaction voluntarily at an agree'd upon compensation.  Both parties for-fill the contract.  (If the contract is not fulfilled, then it's fraud (which is an initiation of force) which is not Capitalism.)  A hair weaver or nail painter, anybody you hire to do anything that meets the above criteria.  I am unaware of any pure capitalist societies.  However, we were largely capitalist during the industrial revolution.  A time of greatest Liberty responsible for the single greatest reduction of people living under poverty.  As socialists have further meddled in the the Liberty of voluntary exchange (regulations have increased) the pace of lifting people out of poverty has all but stopped.  Women, minorities all worse off under our current socialist.   I am for Liberty.  Liberty is indisputably superior to subjugation to the will of others.

  42. serjthereturn Right in the front you lie. "golden age of your favourite ideology" I never made such a statement.  You are a fraud.  I won't bother reading past a lie.  Apologize and restate an argument based on truth.
    2
  43. serjthereturn I'm not even going to hit "Read more".   An honest person would criticize me for my exact words and not make up something I didn't say to criticize me for.  You are not honest.  You set a perfect backdrop to socialist ideology.  A fraud.   Lets leave the example at the truth shall we?

  44. ***** Good comments.  It's more than ceding Liberty to government.  You give leftists too much credit.  They "trade" Liberty in negotiation with politicians to steal by coercion from their fellow man their daily needs.  They are no different than a robber, vandal, mugger or child molester.  They feel their need is a right to use force on others to gain satisfaction.   Leftists believe a need is a claim.   A valid claim to take from you what they need.   When you protest, they argue, it's not really stealing if it's not your property to begin with.  They argue there is no property right.  Or, they saddle you as a slave to a contract you haven't signed called "a social contract".  Or they rationalize it by calling their violence something sweeter "equality" or for the "greater good" to take from others your needs when they call it "social justice".  Justice indeed.  I call it by it's proper name.  Slavery!  They are no different than any rapist.  "Honey, it's for the greater good, It meets my needs, it's justice (I deserve it), now shut up!"  It's all violence.
    2
  45. I am for Liberty.  That means many things.  One of them is you may define yourself in any way you choose.  My interest is philosophical.  I regard all ideologies as equal which seek to rationalize the initiation of force against those who would force no one.  You did not define "communism" in the context of your comments.  I have owned expensive items in partnership (communally) with others.  You may include that under the heading of commun-ism.  I have no idea.  I would consider it (for myself) a voluntary exchange.  There is no loser if nobody is forced. If you do in fact believe in Liberty (the ability to peruse one's interests unhindered and not injuring of others) then It would be difficult for me to think of you as "Communist" which is historically an ideology of force.   We may or may not agree.  I really don't know.   I am for Liberty (as defined above).  You can be for whatever and identify as whatever you want.
    2
  46. channelchannel Very well stated.  Because people share property or labor communally does not make it communism.  It's the involuntary nature that makes it communist.  While it's the voluntary nature of things that make them an exchange under Liberty.  Thank you for a well put argument.
    2
  47. Kugel Blitz Capitalism is very simply stated voluntary exchange.  I reject all attempts the left make to describe their failures as failures of capitalism.  I'm sure if I looked into the situation you mention, the government was meddling around, licensing and all the rest of the socialist baloney before the failure. Voluntary exchange is a moral imperative.  The only alternative to voluntary exchange is involuntary exchange.   Involuntary exchange is slavery.  Slavery is immoral regardless of the increment.
    2
  48. channelchannel You have me correct.   I would state it as such.  The initiation of force is evil except against those who would or have initiated force.   This moral imperative separates the violent from the non-violent.  The warring from the peaceful.  
    2
  49. ***** "Capitalist competition yields monopolies....." Monopolies are created and maintained by government.  It's socialism for businessmen. The only non government created monopoly I can identify is Debeers.  Your argument is debased by the faulty foundation.  Monopolies only exist by aid and force of governments.
    2
  50. Harald Husum If you were right, you'd have provided a few indisputable commonly known and recognized examples.  Are you wrong or too impotent to respond intelligently?  Monopolies are a result of government force, not a common or long lived part of the marketplace.
