Of course it's not okay. No one is saying that. Who in the Mises Institute defends mass murder and involuntary servitude?

[KagarBeardtooth]

@OaklandLYM

Right...

Take care.

"many innovation investments we benefit from"

No, I don't benefit from being prevented from seeking highly regulated and price inflated medical care, subsidize the travel of others, overconsumption of gas, pay for prisons for children called government schools, or to pay for killing Arabs, brown people and muslims or to provide for a "police" force that can kill innocent people with immunity.

In your tiny little mind these things are good. To me they are all bad.

@radroatch

So, not following retarded socialist egalitarian ideas leads me no choice but to line up with retarded socialist egalitarian democratic monsters or supported by socialist egalitarian democracies. Wow! The logic is ...

As to nuking Japan, do you really believe people in Alabama, or for that matter, Oregon really cared if Japanese old men, women and children were killed? Heck, they were okay with internment of their Japanese neighbors! What kind of fantasy world do you ..?

"The alternative to the democratic process as you seem apposed leads to elite control including dictatorship;"

Yes, because our only two alternatives are the hive mind controls everything or Dictators control everything.. we cannot have a third and very natural, very normal option of you mind your business and I mind mine. NO!

Your talk of educated populace is sheer bunk. Of course, some people..(hint:mirror).. who think they are educated ...dumb as rocks, but "educated".

"we claim the 'virtue'"

Speak for yourself. I claim no such thing. Democracy is pure evil. There is no virtue there.

Private property allows people to walk away as and when their interests are separate and yet they are free to cooperate and come together for mutual benefit. Democratic ownership provides no such thing. The talk of coops is all fun and games, until you look into the depths. It is a highly ineffective and useless model that creates unnecessary conflicts.

@utubehayter

... You only position left is to side with the neo-cons logic, small democratic influence, large private influence, polyarchical control and what has this lead to, well the installation and support of dictatorships, your friend pot, gadaffi, pinochet, the shah, mubarak, abdullah, saddam to name some that come to mind, not to mention wars etc. all to maintain global hegemony

Been good to vote on the nukes that killed 1000000 to 200000 in Japan as it they were already surrendering

@utubehayter

... performances against the regular model

The alternative to the democratic process as you seem apposed leads to elite control including dictatorship; Hitler committed the worst of his crimes as a dictator, in a country that didnt have free speech

btw earlier I will have highlight an educated populace to avoid such manipulation

What of the leadership of the US which planned to come in as late as pos. to become the superpower after the others destroyed their means of production...
