Re: American Marxism

I missed this earlier...all true...is his assessment of what needs doin' buried in there? Levin calls himself a conservative activist and he shares practical knowledge about how to pressure the system, and he's well-qualified. The first six chapters explain why this is a turning point in history. Y...

Re: American Marxism

“And yet, historical and present-day experience shows that Marxism and its supposed “worker’s paradise” are responsible for the death of tens of millions of human beings, and the impoverishment and enslavement of over a billion more. Indeed, Marx was wrong about almost everything. The Industrial Re...

Re: capitalism vs free enterprise: 'my' perspective (with lagniappe)

I got nuthin' against Levin, but, if his last chapter clarification is some variation of vote harder! , then he's just wrong. We ain't votin' our way outta this mess. No need for supposin' when one knows how to read. I'm readin' other stuff right now, so: supposin' is all I can, am gonna, do.

Re: capitalism vs free enterprise: 'my' perspective (with lagniappe)

best thing of all: free enterprise works everywhere, all the time...even in the midst of a well-established state communism (what do you think gray & black markets are?) so: stop bellyachin' and get to work Very good, Henry! Getting to work is what Levin discusses in the last chapter of the boo...

As with the Bastiat thread in the Book Club sub-forum, it's not about me.

Re: Free Will

I don't buy identity through time

And even so, we persist, have continuity, consistency from moment to moment.

The TS reading this post is the same TS who wrote the post preceding this one, a few minutes ago, and is the same TS who posted in this thread yesterday, yes?

capitalism vs free enterprise: 'my' perspective (with lagniappe)

(edited slightly from the original posting) By definition: Capitalism is only about 'capital', so it's natural for the Capitalist to see himself protected by the Big Stick, hence he works to see regs minimized on himself and maximized on his competition. The Capitalist always has an eye open for br...
