George Lakoff - Does Capitalism Always Lead to Democracy?

"'free market' doesn't exist. There is no such thing. All markets are constructed. Think of the stock exchange. It has rules. The WTO [World Trade Organization] has 900 pages of regulations. The bond market has all kinds of regulations and commissions to make sure those regulations carried out. Every market has rules. " --George Lakoff

Free markets are't controlled by govt. They are just you and I doing whatever we like to produce, buy and sell FREELY. The political machine has two sides that cooperate to march society toward total control and loss of individual choice.. Watch it march; Left ,Right, now Left, another Right, now a BIG LEFT
They are both the tools of tyrants whose desire is to destroy freedom and rebuild the world with privileges... granted by them, of course. No freedom in that.

okay why do you say that

there are lots of countries with free markets and in unfree people

this is true. 100% freedom will exist once the state is abolished. Markets must be controlled by actual workers. and they must be run democratically. Free markets and competition is nothing but a game.

what about the idea that in the middle east many islamic groups r populour and radical, and can couple that with the ability to unite a excluded people from the economy in to groups dangerous to the relatively well off sectors of Iraq, which i suppose mainly consist of foreign workers employed there by the U.S. companys. None of whom really fit the scheme of well off iraqis suporting democratisation. u hav 2 wonder will market anarchy now forever be tied to western democracy in Iraq?

lol......wow.

Judaism is the highest stage of capitalism. Bar Mitzfa is the highest stage of Judaism.

The Nazis were right to exterminate such filthy vermin.

Let me guess you are liberal.
