It's a slippery slope from that statement to this one:Originally posted by Dilip Panjwani View Post

More evidence that Libertarianism would put us all in a police state.Comment

I fear the acceptance of on the street revolution will ramp up quickly under Libertarianism.
Libertarianism will drive the wealth/income gap wider than even regulated capitalism. The poor, who have nothing to lose, when oppressed, will start to publicly object.
As well, as in the wild west days of the nostalgic American saga, crime was rampant, except for regulation by some amazing American Sheriffs.....the gangs ruled.......we've seen them ride into town and have their way with the ordinary city folk. Will be no different with Libertarianism, both on the economic, and social, fronts.
The plan that the rich will impose austerity on the poor is bound to fail (Listen up Milei).
The future: Cooperation over Competition; Socialism over Capitalism. It is destined to be. Capitalism is imploding. The world economy has been a mess for the last years. Any recovery is just masking the foundational weakness of Capitalism.

This thread is being totally high-jacked...
Though Trump's pandering to the large corporations/their owners/their CEO's, especially in the fossil fuel industries, is its own form of autocracy/oligarchy.
Maybe we need, though, to bring some of this to the Democratic Marxism thread?

Dystopia is a characteristic of Marxism, not Libertarianism, Bob, for the simple reason that enforcement of the Natural Law and easy access to capital for all creates Utopia, while oppression of the hard & smart working by the 'entitlement-oriented' leads to unfairness and downfall of Marxist societies, as history has shown repeatedly...Originally posted by Bob Armstrong View PostLast edited by Dilip Panjwani; Wednesday, 12th June, 2024, 04:09 AM.Comment

Full credit to "Operation Warp Speed".
Your example is what one calls an "anomaly".
For your edification:
anomaly \uh-NAH-muh-lee\ noun. 1 : something different, abnormal, peculiar, or not easily classified : something anomalous. 2 : deviation from the common rule : irregularity.

President Trump knew EXACTLY what do to when the entire world needed a COVID solution.
Governments get out of the way ... enable private corporations to do what they do best.
That's called Capitalism, Bob A.
Did it save your life, too?
Did it???
Give the guy a Nobel Peace Prize!
C'mon man!Comment

Thank you president Trump.
Thank you capitalism.

I likely was saved by my mRNA vaccine (I'll take the long-term consequences, if any)......I had COVID-19 somewhat badly, and I am a diabetic senior (Group with the worst mortality stats).
Lucky me that for once in human history, mega-corporations managed something beneficial.
But I wonder......how much did they profit off of human, planetary misery? Maybe not totally altruistic? Also seems there may have been some corners cut re safety to get the $$ rolling in?
Countries bought a lot of vaccine, that they distributed free (It wasn't the pharmaceutical industry that made it free, was it?)

Just stumbled across this article. Looks to me like Libertarians are capable of being just as nasty, cruel, and thoughtless as all the rest of us. Dilip, why should anyone believe that Libertarians are capable of running anything in a non-dystopian fashion? People in general are crap, Dilip.Originally posted by Dilip Panjwani View Post

Whoever put up that post mocking John McCain, harmed only themselves by losing the goodwill of those who honored McCain. McCain's family should realize that there is no reason for them to be 'in pain' just because there is someone somewhere who thinks that McCain was worth mocking (nobody is entitled to the whole world loving them, as posters on Chesstalk know very well ! ) What Libertarianism will not provide is wiping away of differences of opinion, but it will provide enforcement of the Natural Law, so that if someone really harms you, he will have to adequately compensate you for that...

I did not make the profit that the pharmaceutical industry makes.......
Otherwise I'd have gotten myself a chess coach a long time ago!
So happens, Dilip, that for the last 15 years of my career, I was a salaried lawyer, making much less than most lawyers........why?
I was the supervisor of a community legal aid clinic, within a multi-service centre. My clinic was free to those who qualified - myself, another lawyer, 3 paralegals and two legal secretaries.......all free for low-income clients. And our system was touted during my initial career there by none other than Roy McMurtry, then AG in the cabinet of Premier Bill Davis.
