Collapse of Civilization

Let those who have eyes to see, see; and those who have ears to hear, hear.

And let those who have minds that hallucinate live with their delusions?

[Bob Armstrong]

Well, right now, it appears that most eyes, ears and minds, in the world, perceive Democratic Capitalism as "best" (Despite the mess the world is in).

And it appears that most eyes, ears and minds, in Argentina, perceive Libertarianism as "best" (Despite the very early chaos there under Libertarianism).

In what year do people think that most eyes, ears and minds, in the province of Ontario, Canada, will perceive the Democratic Marxist Party of Ontario as "best"? (Despite the propagandizing by the elite against any socialism)

Hi Bob. When it comes to human beings, I fear the outlook is not good.

If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand.

So true!!
And that is why the Libertarians say: That government is the best that governs the least...

[Bob Armstrong]

Small government is best - Democratic Marxism

Let the nations dissolve, and evolve into a world collection of villages - many small governments!

Those dream in technicolour of no government........to avoid incompetence, corruption, abuse of power, self-interest, conflict between government and bureaucracy, and government and their electors, etc.

They are always with us..........small minimizes their impact.

I recently visited Tundra Music on the Danforth in Toronto. I spoke to a man who I believe to be the owner, or at least the manager. After we digressed from the topic of guitars, he went into some detail about how voting changes nothing and how the world is actually ruled by a few major organizations: the Freemasons, and various owners of castles in Europe, and other Royal families.

We can see that voting changes nothing by looking already at how things are going in Argentina. The new leader has already been "briefed" about what he can actually do and not do ... and guess what, his ambitious Libertarian agenda is already being moderated. In 2 years, you won't be able to say that any of his radical agenda actually transpired. Things there will be back to the way they were, with only minor superficial changes to "keep up appearances".

Clever quotations often encapsulate simple-minded thinking. If you substitute "Provincial" for "Federal" in this quote, then Alberta would have a shortage of oil.

But taking Canada as a whole ... does Canada have a federal-government-caused shortage of oil? Of lumber? Of wheat? Of minerals?

It all depends how you define "shortage".

If we take major quantities of our oil, our lumber, our wheat, our minerals and sell it abroad in order to increase our ability to import oranges, pineapples, electronics ... and even rare exotic wood chess sets .... among many other products not available in Canada in any large quantities ... then do we REALLY have a shortage of oil, lumber, wheat, minerals?

Sand is actually an extremely valuable resource in today's silicon age and in today's concrete building age. There is actually reported by reputable sources to be an international shortage of sand!

Simple-minded thinking at its worst.

So Libertarianism is Anarchy! LOL

Seems Pargat has no concept of the figure of speech called hyperbole, as used by Friedman and Emma Goldman. LOL

Look at the pathetic Libertarian now backpeddling and adding "to achieve functionality and order" which he stupidly left out in his previous post.

Do you think readers are idiots, Dollop?

And maybe .... the least governing necessary to achieve functionality and order is what Canada has right now. I would say we are more ordered and functional than the USA.

[Bob Armstrong]

More ordered and functional than many countries across the globe.........just look at the immigration demand!

But less so than we were:

1. over 50% of Canadian families and single adults have no more that $ 250 in savings at any one time, and many less.
2. only 25% of adult Canadians can afford to buy a single family home, and qualify for the financing needed.

# 1 indicates the exploitation of low-income Canadians, and the unfair exchange of $$$ for labour.
#2 has always been thought of as accessible to the ordinary Canadians; now the preserve of the elite

The current, and recent past, governments are losing focus on the bread and butter issues for the average Canadian.

The stupidity and idiocy lies within you who needs a detailed explanation for what even a 5 year old would assume as implied.
