Well that's what I suspected... you offered a position and when it wasn't contested, by virtue of the simple fact that it wasn't read, you erroneously concluded that the position was superior; and superior to the extent that you concluded that the opposition could not even mount a contest...
Such an assumption did not even need to be made. Your prior inadequacies already indicated your woeful incompetence, and accordingly, I expected that you would be unable to provide a sufficient response. You legitimize these expectations with drivel such as this:
Facism is purely, wholly, solely, utterly, thoroughly and without exception a function of the ideological left... European fascism is American Progressivism... which is to say the US Progressive is the ideological equivilent to the European facist. The ONLY THING that separates the Fascist from the socialist is the "nationalist' bent which fascism (Progressivism) utilizes... where the Socialist rejects national sovereignty focusing it's loyalty upon Socialism itself.
If you can refrain from plagiarizing Jonah Goldberg for a minute, you should note that you've now corrupted your originally inaccurate definition of fascism even further by making comparisons to liberal democratic capitalism. There are flagrantly obvious divergences between fascism, socialism, and liberal democratic capitalism; it is only the imbecile who is ignorant of political economy who will attempt to conflate them in such an egregiously inaccurate manner.
ROFLMNAO... Capitalism is merely the natural order... to even believe that it CAN fail, forces one to redefine FAILURE...
That's not the case, I'm afraid! The greatest failure of capitalism is embedded in the inefficient labor market that it promotes, which is plagued by the twin problems of influence and agency costs, those caused by the prevalence of information asymmetries between economic agents, resulting in the agency problems of adverse selection and moral hazard, just to illustrate an example. We can then consider the paradox of inefficiency in the capitalist labor market. We can first refer to the analysis of Carl Shapiro and Joseph Stiglitz in
Equilibrium Unemployment as a Worker Discipline Device.
To induce its workers not to shirk, the firm attempts to pay more than the going wage; then, if a worker is caught shirking and is fired, he will pay a penalty. If it pays one firm to raise its wage, however, it will pay all firms to raise their wages. When they all raise their wages, the incentive not to shirk again disappears. But as all firms raise their wages, their demand for labor increases, and unemplyoment results. With unemployment, even if all firms pay the same wages, a worker has an incentive not to shirk. For, if he is fired, an individual will not immediately obtain another job. The equilibrium unemployment rate must be sufficiently high that it pays workers to work rather than to take the risk of being caught shirking.
Are you aware of the problem that this causes? First, note that involuntary unemployment is a wasted resource, and thus an inefficiency. Therefore, if the equilibrium unemployment rate is high, this will result in external inefficiency in the labor market. However, if it is too low, then workers will no longer have an incentive not to shirk, thereby causing shirking, and accordingly internal inefficiency in the labor market. Hence, internal inefficiency is a necessary condition of external efficiency, and more critically, external inefficiency is a necessary condition of internal efficiency.
(off topic blathering snip'd)
This global meltdown that we're currently experiencing is a direct result of leftist manipulation of the financial markets, it is being EXTENDED due to leftist manaipulation of those markets and the PAID AND SUFFERING IS BEING INTENSIFIED by the leftist policies which CREATED THE PAIN TO BEGIN WITH.
All existing capitalist markets are reliant on economic planning. Were this not so, they would immediately collapse, inasmuch as governmental economic planning is a necessary element of capitalism; it acts as a facilitator and a stabilizing agent in the capitalist economy, a role that other entities are incapable of assuming. It is thus socialism and democratic worker-owned enterprises that ensure legitimate market competition. As astutely noted by Jaroslav Vanek,
"the capitalist economy is not a true market economy because in western capitalism, as in Soviet state capitalism, there is a tendency towards monopoly. Economic democracy tends toward a competitive market."
For all your condemnations of leftists, I have a feeling you would have felt at home amongst those partaking of hallucinogenic substances in the 1960's.
