Naomi Klein - The Shock Doctrine - Part 1 of 6

Did you read my comment? The Socialists were some of the first people Hitler murdered. Don't be fooled by the Nazi name. You can use market forces to determine supply and demand under Socialism just the same as under Capitalism. It has nothing to do with money under Socialism, it is simply a way to determine what's needed.

How can socialism be organized using a market economy without being free market? Do you know what socialism is? Do you know that the NAZIs were socialists?

I'm referring to Socialism using a market econony to determine supply and demand. There is no history of Socialism because it's always been usurped the government. The Socialists were some of the first people Hitler murdered. The soviet union was controlled by a RULING CASTE. Venezuela is working on it but they have a ways to go.

No, supply and demand do not govern socialism, the politicians and bureaucrats do. Why don't you try looking at the history of socialism and communism before you comment?

A socialist market economy would function just as a capitalist market economy does: supply and demand would still govern the marketplace. Pro-Capitalists continue to spread misinformation about this very fact. TRY NOT TO FALL FOR IT.

I am beginning to suspect that you are mentally challenged because you are obviously incapable of either reading or following a line of logic. It is obviously pointless to argue with you.

I think you could learn a thing or two from the man in your username. Cursing and being ego-attached to your point of view does you no service in a debate or discussion. The Dalai Lama has a great book called How To Expand Love, that you might really enjoy. It contains simple and helpful meditations on compassion and learning to include all beings in your circle of love.
Or not, it's the same thing.

MillionthUsername: Although I don't see it posted here this is in reply to the statement I received from you in my inbox.

Whereby you stated:

"Union organizers who've faced violence at the hands of private security firms might disagree."

Violence and war are NOT freedom, liberty, or peace!

Umm can you read?? Where in that statement does it say that violence is freedom?? Where and how the f&#k did your distorted line of thinking draw that conclusion??

Capitalism is not a priori peace

"Union organizers who've faced violence at the hands of private security firms might disagree."

Violence and war are NOT freedom, liberty, or peace!

Please try to differentiate between war and peace, the initiation of violence vs free exchange.

Your failure to do so puts you in league with mindless propagandists like Klein who go off into some elaborate trip of unreality.

A free market means exchange without coercion. Please understand that war is the opposite of peaceful exchange.

What the hell are you talking about??????

I don't call WAR "free trade". This insane liar does.

She uses the war and some strange obsession with Friedman to attack free markets.

Are you not able to grasp that?
