To be honest, Tom, I don't at all mind the wild hand waving (I'm used to it because my parents do it all the time), but could you stand still?

@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY the problem with the label "anti semitic" is that it has been demonstrated to be used to describe someone or something that the Jews hate, rather than libel or defamation. If the truth offends you, then that's your goddamned problem, isn't it? So if you consider it to be anti semitic for me to say that the Jews run Hollywood, then you can go jam your dick in a meat grinder. Are we on the same page?

Has this guy actual read history, Rockfeller interfered with all the small competitors. He borrowed to corner chemicals in refining oil for kerosene, bought out oil barrels so the competitors were short of barrels, he colluded with the rail companies to over price to competitors all putting competitors in a corner to put them out of business. There was no free market. Some people are so fucking negligent with the facts it's not funny. The Mise institutes pormotes free markets n fucks up facts

Re: Jews and blacks have an entitlement to be free from this kind of literature?

Firstly, Naziim and Libertarianism are again, antithetical to one another, so no Libertarian would be selling such literature, so I’m supposing this is a hypothetical. Yes all speech is protected. A Jewish lawyer from the ACLU, who seems he might know or care more about freedom than you do, defended the actual Nazis right to march in IL, in 1977

@Frumibandersnatch will indeed watch it.

another example: a neo- Nazi opens a book shop selling anti-semite, anti-backs literature, Mein Kampf etc. He claims this is his libertarian entitlement and if the state prohibit him (by enacting legislation) this is in itself would amount to a contravention of his liberty & is therefore wrong.

Liberty cuts both ways: liberty to one can result in detriment to another. Jews and blacks have an entitlement to be free from this kind of literature?

@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY don't mean to keep bothering you, so this is the last one. If you do respond, I'd be delighted to keep our conversation going. -frum

If you hang around economics comment threads, you’ve probably seen this, it’s a Rap Off between Lord Manard Keynes and Friedrich A. Hayek. It’s put out by Econ-Stories with the aid of an economics professor at George Mason. It's well produced and I think it’s worth a look, if you’re really interested in economics.

@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY I guess you could draw a parallel between Hume’s empiricism with Hayeks understanding of why central planning always fails (and it does) and that is; no single person or any assembly of people, short of all participants in the economy, can know each and every transaction within an economy, this is a kind of knowledge that can be “known” by the masses. The only way that price points can be discovered and resources can be properly allocated.
