Socialism is No Longer a Dirty Word

ROFLMNAO... SO you're solution is to widen the poverty by implementing policy which stifles the creationof wealth?

BRILLIANT!

LOL... There is very little wrong with the US that wouldn't be solved by having an intelligence test required before we let people vote.

If this is an advocacy of trade liberalization, it is a poor one, and is based on delusions of perfect competition. Your argument seems to have some dim relation to the principle of comparative advantage, but in reality, trade liberalization promotes adverse socioeconomic impacts as long as heavily industrialized countries entice poorer and underdeveloped countries into remaining dependent on trade with them rather than utilizing their productive assets into forming a viable manufacturing and industrial sector of their own, much the same way that capitalism necessitates worker dependence on the wage provider, so that he may deprive them of the products of their labor.

I would recommend having a look at Ha Joon-Chang's Kicking Away the Ladder.

You do not wish to vote anymore? How much wealth has been created in the last eight years? Did you notice that one sale of T-Bills were actually sold at a negative interest rate? Not that anyone would expect you to have the faintest idea of what the indicates.
 
Hence, it is possible to organize anarchist armies through direct democratic principles. All soldiers would meet in assemblies to determine army policies, and officers would be elected by these assemblies as a whole. They could not determine army policy independently of the assemblies, but could only administer it. They would be instantly recallable in the case of abuse of their position. Such an army could also be a militarily viable one, as evidenced by the Spanish militias and the aforementioned Makhnovists.

This has to be the most idiotic blather I have ever heard... your ignorance on how a military can and will work is astounding... I would sooner ask advise from a person in a permanent coma

As if your moronic ideas of a modern anarchist society run on 'libertarian' principles were not laughable enough... and above that your ideas of no hierarchies, whether in government or business... human nature and truth: There will always be those with more rank, power, and influence, as everyone's contributions are not equal in the realities of need and desire.

Go smoke another bong, moron
 
In case you didn't notice, our capitalistic society is not only married to China, be we're the one who takes it while they give it.

But you're right, Capitalism is the only way to go - just ask all those people who are unemployed or homeless due to this crash

Why would they be homeless just because they are unemployed? I live at a poverty level, I could get all the state assistance and fed assistance programs i wanted but I dont. I just don't live beyond my means. That means I dont get a mortgage I can't afford, I dont charge stuff on credit cards. There are still jobs out there just not high paying ones. If your not living beyond your means you will be fine. Commies let alot of people starve off and die in Russia, and they also took away the good farms to give to people deemed more worthy.

Why the angst? Were you dishonorably discharged or something?

The Spanish militias were fairly small units, participatory ideals can work for small scale warfare, but not for a major conflict. One cannot organise logistics etc, on a large scale without a well defined hierarchy.

The Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of Ukraine numbered in the tens of thousands, and exceeded 100,000 at one point.

No

I was honorably discharged after my term and served with honor.. .I honor those still in the military, both ones I know and ones I have never met. I support my military brothers and sisters thru charitable contributions and my actions

Irregardless, it still does not take away from the fact that you do not know shit of how a military works. It also does not take away from the fact that "libertarian anarchism" is an oxymoron that cannot work in a large society.
 
Yes, and people said that no represenational form of government would ever last like MONARCHIES do, too.

Mankind is capable of changing the way they organize themsevles, folks.

In fact to some extent we are constantly reorganizing ourselves, anyway...if not officially than unofficially.

Anyone who has ever been in the service knows that there is the offical chain of command, and then there is that informal but extrmely powerful system of allied players who can make things happen with a wink and a nod.

I STILL want to know how anyone proposes how we get from the system we have NOW, to that anarchocommunist system.

Short of bloody revolution, I see not peaceful path to that idealogical state of affairs, any more than I can see how se get from where we are now to that ideal capitalist libertopian state that others on this baord might advocate.

Those with the power, and their LEGIONS of minions, are not going to willingly give up the wealth and power easily.
 
Dave, I thought you said that "libertarian socialism" was an oxymoron. Now it's "libertarian anarchism"?

I don't think you have any familiarity with other military models, and seem overly insistent on repeating that they won't work over and over again despite their clear military successes. As I mentioned previously, the Makhnovists numbered in the tens of thousands, exceeding 100,000 at one point. And while organized with anarchist principles, they scored impressive victories against the tsarist White Army under the command of Lieutenant General Anton Denikin. This while most of their weaponry came from pillaging their enemies' corpses.

Hence, the clear success of the Makhnovists is an actual example that stands in contrast to your baseless claims.
 
Can I assume from your obvious avoidance of an answer to my question of how we migrate from what we have NOW, to what you believe would be a more viable and just form of governance, that there is no path leading us to that utopian place?
