Given that Smith’s takes into account market forces and supply and demand, not really. Thanks for the google given that it shows they define it completely differently.

This is excellent.

New Deal planning unecesssarily extended the Great Depression, so of course I don’t want that style of light socialism either. I’m here to try and convince people to stop actively trying to ruin the economy with their terrible ideas. Late stage capitalism is like the rapture. It’s been coming for years and year and…

This is a moral argument. Moral arguments aren’t particularly strong. Especially when in a country of 300+ million, the government only collects around 300k in purposely overpaid taxes that people functionally donate. That means everyone else is actively trying to lower their tax burden. Is every single person…

That’s a completely different argument and I agree that money should be out of politics, but saying someone committed tax evasion is accusing them of a crime. If they haven’t committed said crime, it is ridiculous to say so.

“Of course the holodomor and the terror and all of big C communism’s megadeaths are utterly appealing and no socialist of any sane mind wants a return to stalinism.”

If it is legal, it isn’t tax evasion. You can’t legally evade taxes. You can legally lower your tax burden and if you don’t, you are a fucking idiot.

What percent are women and children? The picture provided and text seem to imply mostly men.

Death rates in the US continued to fall during the Great Depression. I’m generally confused as to your point. I mention 2 things that collectively resulted in the deaths of 100 million people. You mention a financial recession during which, no great die off happened and the trend of people living longer continued.…

“But sure, be pithy and reductive and judgmental. Just pretend the problem doesn’t exist, and that individual villains are at fault rather than systemic inequity.”

You think that everyone in China has free healthcare in anything, but theory? Lmfao.

That’s never stopped the Vatican before. See their complicity with the Nazis. Slovakia’s fascist leader was an actual active Priest. Franco gave the church special authority in fascist Spain.

The gays are oppressed in the New Testament as well.

Nah. Apparently it is spreading like wildfire in China. I’d assume the Chinese translation must have taken out the contradictions to make it easier to sell.

Christian just means you are a believing in Jesus Christ as the son of god. Any religion that believes that is Christian.

Oh weird, the religion that is 600 years older has a longer history of religious violence? Color me shocked. Christianity has been spread by the sword since Constantine and Islam since day one. Not a great track record for either.

As a socialist, he’ll probably just used ineffectual rent controls, but if he actually wanted to fix the problem, they’d have to trample native rights to develop land to build cheap housing. That’s not going to happen though.

The person is check that you understand it because everything else you’ve said is dumb.

Hunger is functionally ended in America. It has been for decades. We are so not hungry that half the people labeled as “food insecure” are also morbidly obese. Math that one out. The only people who die of starvation are kids whose parents purposely starve them and shut ins who people don’t know need food.

In your later example, you are personally extending the suffering of your country via brain drain.
