Sigh of Relief

[georgephillip]

Define "evidence", Pluto.

"And yet, in both life and death, Pinochet and Friedman have been assumed by many to be two sides of some evil right-wing coin in which torture, despotism, and unrestricted free markets are all inextricably linked.

"The New York Times columnist Anthony Lewis declared in 1975 that 'The Chilean junta’s economic policy is based on the ideas of Milton Friedman…and his Chicago School…if the pure Chicago economic theory can be carried out in Chile only at the price of repression, should its authors feel some responsibility?' Such attitudes haunted Friedman to his death and beyond."

Put up or shut up you spineless, elitist bitch.

this is true, in fact Friedman as an economist urged the idea of capitalism on all nations of the world. If there is one shred of evidence that he advocated violence I will pay you $20,000. Bet or run away with your liberal tail between your legs.

And the Chilean people rejected Milton's manifesto at the polls and elected Salvador Allende to the Presidency. Rich corporate parasites like those you endlessly bow low before objected to this display of popular sovereignty, whining to Rockefeller Republican Henry Kissinger who turned loose the CIA. Allende took his own life and thousands of Chileans were murdered in order to impale Chile on Milton's version of the cross of gold. Conservative clumps like you and Milton should get much closer to the killing...maybe you'll find a cure for terminal conservative stupidity?

He didn't.

Chile and Cuba had about the same GDP per capita in 1960. Which country is doing better today?

 

[Toro]

Friedman advocated using violence to create a political crisis in Chile which resulted in two things:

The infliction of "free market capitalism" upon the Chilean economy.
The murder disappearance of thousands of Chilean citizens.
Surely you're not to stupid to notice?

Why would you assume he is not that ignorant. Ed has unlimited ignorance.

Where did Friedman advocate violence? I've never seen any quote attributed to Friedman advocating violence.

yes and Cubans who escaped to America are doing 10 times better that Cubans who stayed. That must say something about Friedmans philosophy versis Marx's

Citizens of which country enjoy the best medical care?
Do you think political coups and the disappearance/murder of thousands of citizens qualifies as "doing better?"

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Its about tie between Cuba USA with Chile behind. Why?? Both those countries would drain completely and move here if they could because we have the most capitalism

Do you think political coups and the disappearance/murder of thousands of citizens qualifies as "doing better?"

dear, he was talking about the economies of Cuba and Chile not the repression in either. Is that really over your head??

Castro had a coup and killed thousands of people. Today, Chile is a democracy with one of the highest standards of living in Latin America. Cuba is a tightly controlled dictatorship that imprisons people for speaking out against the regime, and whose economy is so bad there are still cars and machines from the 1940s still in use and the hospitals run out of aspirin.

Cubans enjoy better medical care than citizens of the US and it's FREE.
Obviously, capitalists and other greedy authoritarians turn green with envy.

as a liberal you simple lack the IQ to know that nothing is free. Do you think its a gift from Santa????


See why we are positive a liberal will be slow??

It hardly seems fair that Santa visits them and not us!!

Which country is subject to an illegal embargo?

Which country was floated by Russian aid for decades?

Do you not see the irony of your implication? America is this Great Capitalist Evil according to the Cuban apologists, yet Cuba's failures are attributable to the fact that Cuba cannot trade with the Big Evil Country. Besides, compensate the US for American property stolen and the sanctions will be lifted. Easy.

yes not one new Chevy in the country after the libturd revolution??? Was it because they love 1950's Chevys so much?? Or because
the revolution impoverished everyone so much?

What property did Cuba steal from America, Gitmo?
Perhaps you think the CIA should be repaid for its Bay of Pigs externalities?

It was because of an illegal embargo imposed upon Cuba by the greatest purveyor of violence on this planet.

you make good sense!! The USA is the only manufacturer of cars so when we cut them off they had to make do with only 1950's Chevys!!!!

A liberal can always figure things out!!!

A conservative definition of free trade:

"At present, the embargo, which limits American businesses from conducting business with Cuban interests, is still in effect and is the most enduring trade embargo in modern history. Despite the existence of the embargo, the United States is the fifth largest exporter to Cuba (6.6% of Cuba's imports are from the US).[7] However, Cuba must pay cash for all imports, as credit is not allowed."

Milton would approve.

So now the fool liberal agrees there are other countries that make cars, but Cuba can't afford them for the same reason the USSR couldn't ????
