Obviously not. It was an empirialist economy. Empirialism is not capitalism, in fact, it may very well be considered to be the opposite of capitalism. And it had a government that was racist against Catholics (not allowing Catholics in Ireland to have a lot of land), so the rule of law was not respected. Racism means no equality before the law, thus significantly less economic freedom.

The rule of law WAS respected. Nothing parliament did to Irish Catholics was illegal.

How else would you do that? Such a failure of a statistical system is not only unlikely to happen in a capitalist society (as capitalist societies usually value free speech), but it also would not have such disasterous consequences in it (as capitalism does not rely on a statistical system to work).

In all seriousness though, this conversation is getting ridiculous. I mean, the Irish Potato Famine was caused by British government issuing racist laws preventing Catholics from owning more than a small amount of land, so Catholics cultivated what they could profitably cultivate on a small amount of land: potato. So, because of those racist laws, Ireland was dependent on potato for food. When a disease came that killed all potato, the British government forced Ireland to massively export the little food they had. And you are blaming capitalism (the lack of government intervention in the economy) for the famine. Come on now!

Surely even you - pig ignorant as your - aren’t claiming that the UK in the mid 19th century was anything OTHER than a capitalist economy?

Why do you think the American Revolution happened? I think it's because they wanted capitalism which they did not have under Brittish rule.

Once again, you don't know what "Rule of law" means. "Rule of law" means no racism or sexism or, for that sake, anti-Catholicism.

We can discuss whether the rule of law is always a good thing. Perhaps pharmaceutical companies making vaccines should not be equal in front of the law. But the rule of law would have undoubtedly made Irish Potato Famine far less severe.

I'm trying to remember. Is this person still in college or are they not still in college? Do they have a disability or do they not have a disability, and if so, what is it?

Wrong. ‘Rule of law’ means adherence to law at all levels of society, it has nothing whatever do with the nature of laws. If a government institutes laws that are racist, sexist, or anti-Catholic, and enforces those laws, THAT is the rule of law.

God’s balls, you’re stupid.

But the rule of law WAS in place. There were laws limiting how much land Irish farmers could tenant, which crops they could grow, and what happened to that product. How is that not the rule of law?

So, do you consider yourself to have a disability or a condition that limits your functioning?
