You're a simplistic thinker and incapable of nuance.

Spoken like a true apologist. Let me translate for you. "I don't like it when you see through the elaborate tripe"

You don't like me for the same reason religious people do not like me. Occham's razor.

Nonsense. When logic fails, you reach for imprecation, as you're doing here.

It really is not complicated at all. When you know that ecosystems are better for all species when they are not lopsided all the species in that ecosystem do better. You still have diversity and some inequity but it cannot survive when it gets lopsided in any direction.

COSTCO was not good enough of an example for you. Billionaire Nick Hanauer is not good enough for you. And I am sure that Robert Reich who is an economist is also not good enough for you.

You are reacting just like a theist when you tell them there is no god.

Really? Reread my point: you're incapable of nuance. Now, reread this reply of yours. It might have escaped your notice that I'm not arguing with your premise, but critiquing your style.

You like theists argue "nuance" thinking "it is complex" and "you wouldn't understand" works on someone who DOES understand that humans are diverse and slapping your utopia script on everyone else works for everyone else.

What is my "Utopia script"? I'm critiquing your sloppy thinking, not arguing against your premise.

You might as well be a Muslim arguing for global Islamic dominance. If it makes no sense that a religion will get everything that it wants, why should business get everything it wants?

Where did I say that? Link and quote, or recant.

You are arguing for YOUR view of how economics should go. But there are others in the world who know as much about it as you do that disagree with you. So like I said, you do not get to decide in a politically diverse society and economically diverse society how it should go. That is why WE vote, not just you.

Thanks, Captain Obvious. I know by now that I'm not a dictator. But just as you have, and misuse at high volume, your voice, so do I use my own to promulgate my own views.

Rather than attack me, answer the point I made earlier. In case you forgot, I've looked back to fetch it for you. Make your next post a reasonable reply to the point, please.

[...] not all libertarians or conservatives think that liberals want a communist state. You might have more success in changing minds by working with moderates, rather than assuming that those who disagree with you must be extremist.

That is an invitation to discussion and not polemics. Show your ability to do so by answering the point, rather than attacking the speaker.
