  • I think you need to clarify what you mean by libertarian capitalists as their delusionary states are a sliding scale. The AnCap is even less realistic than any Marxist and much more likely to be motivated by shitty behavior (Marxists might not be correct about everything but their hearts are in a good place), whereas the neoliberal is likely confused about how the impacts of free trade can harm the local working classes and might not be as beneficial as classic economics suggests.

    Krugman, Mankiew et al are often writing opinion pieces and those should be seen as such.

    I don’t think economics should be discussed in any format other than print as it is too hard to check the work on a video.


  • That simply is not true. Marx’s sociology and anthropological work has some value but the vast majority of Marx’s views on economics are no longer seen as useful, accurate or relevant. Bringing up Marx as a source us like bringing up Adam Smith, sure they wrote highly influential works but what was correct has been incorporated into the classical literature and what is incorrect, such as the labor theory of value, is taught as an example of previously held incorrect beliefs.

    Very little of what Marx did is relevant to today’s economics because the focus is so incredibly different.


  • Considering your claim has already been disproven mathematically I don’t think you should be sitting in judgement of anyone’s intelligence. For fucks sake you think Medium is a good source?

    Spiva’s comment is referencing the fact that traditionally the party did choose the candidate. This was the case until the 1950-60s depending on the party. There’s no law requiring an open primary and parties can do as they wish. If you had any understanding of US political history this wouldn’t have been a surprising quote but here you are.



  • Those countries “rose again” because of massive investments in them. If the USA let Germany or Japan settle their debts and rebuild on their own they would be third world nations still. The same is true for Korea.

    The greatness is money from foreign sources not some racist bullshit notion of inherent greatness.

    By your “logic” the actual “greatness” is entirely American. That is of course a moronic notion as America had the money because European and Asian economies were devastated by WWI & WWII.

    Your unpopular opinion is unpopular because it is just racist.
