Not that reality ever gets in the way of a psychotic, I did business for almost 20 years in 3rd World countries and at least once traveled on a bus with their kids, chickens and goats. And I sat across from struggling business people of modest income and drove a moderately hard but fair bargain. I ...

Technically Germany was still capitalist when those guys were doing their best work. Inventions can arise from socialist economies. The Soviets were the first into space. Still, you get more when you have the profit motive. The US blew the Soviets away because research was directed by necessity ...

Well gosh, let's put it to a simple test. Did the Soviets have a thriving economy? Goods including those reasonably difficult to manufacture that could compete with ours? No, they made junk that even Soviets didn't want, but bought only because there was nothing else. Have you told the Premier of...

. I would like to express my sincere thanks for allowing the truly ugly nature of the moonbat left to be expressed so clearly and so well. I honestly believe that most of the hard left is mentally ill, if not outright psychotic, no kidding. You've toned down the ugliest of your sexual and per...

I could not agree more that inventions are not reliant on a capitalist economy. But I will not be disadvantaged by letting my antagonists pretend otherwise when it suits them, and not have that false meme shoved up their girl parts when the opportunity presents.

I knew what you did before I asked. The thing is you can't add up all of the total sales in an economy and get your GDP. You can only add up final sales. It doesn't matter. If it was 1% or 30%, the Singapore government still owns a company. Italy was a free market with an authoritarian govern...

I count as cheap the "humanitarianism" that is reserved for people whose farts you will never have to smell and whose differing opinions you will never have to tolerate, while that same "humanitarianism" is withheld from your neighbors and kinsmen who have the first and rightful claim to your natura...

If a capitalist government builds factories for them, and gives them unfettered access to the worlds largest consumer market, and allows them to exploit an endless supply of virtual slave labor, and exempts them from any of the environmental or safety standards which it imposes on factories at home,...
