What do you think about the police?

*sigh* Just because you’re saying the wrong thing over and over doesn’t move you closer to saying the right thing.

There is nothing unusual or even inherently unfair about different laws applying to different classes of people. This has nothing to do with ROL.

You know, it is hard to have a discussion about politics with you when you operate under some strange definitions of political terms. To me, "capitalist government" means "government that does not intervene in the economy". To you, a government passing racist laws making it impossible for Irish Catholics to grow anything other than potato is somehow capitalist. To me, "rule of law" implies equality before the law. To you, a government passing blatantly racist laws somehow obeys the rule of law.

1. No, capitalism is an economic system in which goods and services are controlled by private individuals for profit. It’s got nothing to do with government intervention.

2. Same answer regarding potatoes.

3. ‘Rule of law’ means (and means only) that no one is to be excused from the penalties of breaking the law. Unfettered ‘equality before the law’ would be a nightmare.

This discussion would go a lot more smoothly if you could educate yourself about what these terms actually mean, rather than relying on what they mean to you.
