Socialism is Psychopathic.

[Faith No More]

To me, it seems this guy is strawmanning the libertarian position, think poe regarding political stances. You know me, I'm russian, so in soviet russia, no government is evil.

Could be. Goes to show just how hard it can be to tell a farce from a real loony.

[Cheerful Charlie]

If you think about government/socialism, it is simply psychopathic.


Someone is a better piano player than the majority of people.
> Let's break his/her fingers to make things more equal.

Someone has a higher IQ than the majority of people.
> Let's give him a blows to the head to make things equal.

Someone has more wealth than the majority
> Let's take half of his money and threaten to throw him in a cage and confiscate his possessions at gun point if he doesn't pay up.

You see how absolutely evil and absurd all of this is? Sure it is unfair, but so what? that is no excuse for aggression.

'Equality' and 'Fairness' just seems to be made up words to falsely justify violence against others to appease the narcissism of the masses.

Discuss.

You seem to be trolling.

[Cyberman]

You seem to have a talent for understatement.

Koolay:

Before you entertain notions of economic practice, you should at least take some rudimentary courses in Economics. Clearly, the ideas you espouse show your lack of training in Economics and Government. You use words like "slavery", "rape", and "violence" when they are clearly not the case in most industrialized nations.

You have failed to entertain the consequences should a nation or people move towards free market capitalism. You have not considered what should be in place should corporations get too large. You have not considered what should mitigate corporate irresponsibility, for instance, who should mitigate pollution? You have not considered the diminishing marginal utility of wealth Your blind devotion to your faith in free market capitalism is akin to gross negligence. Government is the answer for all of these questions.

You may not be living in the United States, but your statements and willful ignorance of our civil rights legislation is an abomination. You willfully trample upon all of the civil rights legislation with your consistent use of words like slavery or rape with respect to government. I will not deny that our country had issues with civil rights, but your consistent use of these words is an abomination and a culmination of your arrogance and ignorance. Your insensitivity and ignorance are deplorable.

One final note: You said you own a shop in China, right? So, here you are espousing your notions of grandeur and you own a shop in CHINA??? You do know what that makes you? If you are unsure, look up hypocrite.

Now, after you decide to close your shop in China, then you can go up and scream about government abuses all you want.

In my eyes, you are one self-indulgent, arrogant, hypocrite. How you feel that you are justified to judge all of us and other nations, when you own a shop in CHINA is beyond my understanding.

Proof:

So Koolay, what exactly are you voluntarily selling that you expect people to voluntarily purchase?
.

Not sure what this has to do with the proposed arguments.

But for the record; I own a workshop in china, and online retail company

He owns a 'workshop.'

Any takers on the bet that this is actually a sweatshop?

He's only holding the workers' passports for security. Its not like he is initiating force against them.

He's only holding the workers' passports for security. Its not like he is initiating force against them.

And it's not like the paltry wage he pays them is exploitation. After all, they entered into the arrangement as free, rational agents and could always choose to starve to death instead.
