I'm not sure exactly what you "disagree" with RP in regards to the gold standard. The Constitution says that states cannot coin money...or make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debt. This is a good thing. It prevents any organization like the Fed from issuing out currency backed by nothing. RP actually supports competing currencies that challenge the Fed from having this monopoly. The is no reason why this can't work, given that many do trade in other forms than USD.

I insult because talking to the most bigoted section of the electorate makes you like that. And there is NO FUCKING WAY you can know what is going on and not be VERY angry - you will know when you have read enough when you are as angry as I...

Neoliberalism WAS CREATED by the libertarians you mentioned. And as just about everyone agrees the current system (after 30 years of their dictatorial reign) is either straight out fascism or rapidly heading that way. The golden age - pisses all over any preceding age for the amount of freedom. But for libertarians freedom doesnt meant freedom if means the denying of freedom FOR THE MAJORITY and the HYPER FREEDOM for the elite - thus their pushing of social Darwinism and contempt for Democracy..

mises and hayek and all the austrian guys... i dont want to defend them... but if you think, that austrian economics does not oppose the status quo and the whole system we got into (through neoliberalism) than im just stunned. because all austrian economics, and alle voluntarists or anarchocapatalists or whatever, who take mises and hayek and friedman just oppose the whole politics that we had...

what do i not understand?!

[Käptn Kook]

fuck you idiot. i was just asking.

i did not claim to be libertarian, nor did i say what real libertarian means.

i just say, that the known neoliberal agenda has hidden mechanics, that have nothing to do with liberty.

i asked you and wanted to know, what it is that you are saying.

u started insulting again, i was really curious.. now im just stunned by you stupidity.

shame on you

[StunnedByStupidity]

So THE ENTIRE IDEOLOGY of neoliberalism was created BY THE VERY PEOPLE THAT PAUL GETS HIS FUCKING IDIOCY FROM - yet some ignorant fuckwit on the internet is here to tell us that that isn't the 'real' libertarians - the very people that created the movement aren't 'real' libertarians - you are the worlds most stupid gullible fuckwit. I have been away for a few days and you are the 4th person to know NOTHING about neoliberalism yet claim to be a libertarian - do you read anything but propaganda?

[Käptn Kook]

hey he stopped insulting.... now we can look up, if he's actually right on this.

and i would also not mix neoliberalism (which in fact has nothing to do with liberty) with the views of ron paul. if you think that his policies would lead you to the same results or worse, okay i got you.

but then i would want to know, how the same fascist way of his policies could be dressed up as a drastical change of mechanics, rather than status quo or worse.

im still not convinced, that paul is neoliberal.
