Terrell is Tom Hanks, and Jeffrey Tucker is actually Bruce Willis. They have to go undercover or ther liberal hollywood friends would not be pleased.

Great talk. Ive always found people use the "hapiness" argument against capitalism to be particularly infuriating.

Its not up to your boss to make you happy. Its not up to your shoemaker, or the farmer who grows your food to make you happy. If you are not happy in the "trappings" of modern society then remove yourself from it. Dont tear it down so no one else can enjoy them.

I think if we want to spread freedom we have to be a little less boring about it.

"Nature is stingy." And, psychotic too. Nature can give you something (i.e. apples) in value in one day and massacre your entire family in the next (i. e. earthquake/tsunami in Japan).

@kmelfina

they also mistake the state for "the people" so anything owned by the state is "the people's". all you have to do is point out that the political class IS a separate class and "we" are not the state.

@kmelfina

most liberals I've encountered actually flip-flop and use definitional retreat when defining socialism. For example, they'll rally for state sanctioning of products/services, then they'll literally mock conservatives (dont get me wrong, I am NOT a fucking conservative lol) and say "why are cons retarded, calling USSR socialism, TRUE socialism is worker's owning MoP". It's really irritating and occurs all the time on Yahoo answers.

I don't think we're in super abundance.

@kingofcrunk1010 I'm curious why your here? You just respond to any question or concern with logical fallacies or assertions.You claim that mises price theory dose not apply to socialism because it only deals with markets of scarcity (strawman) and were in a "super abundant" market (assertion)."Private property is undemocratic" these are just slogans and euphemisms in place of arguments.
