Based. What a great read, I didn't know about this. Maybe the US would be such a communist shithole in comparison to us that they would sell their own navy along with its gay sailors in exchange for some products we have.

>>100106

US government was always 3/4 communist even in the cold war, fucks sake we were funding food and agri subsidies for USSR which helped them divert their own funds to military growth. Commies WON the cold war, they control the west now. Russia and China are less socialist than any Western country.

You can try. There's no reason to argue that things are great if they are great. It'd be obvious to everyone from how amazing life would be. Furthermore people living in a prosperous life don't post on imageboards. They're off living their life. Their wonderful, beautiful lives.

Not only have you posted an obvious non-sequitur, but your shift key has clearly become broken from your repeated posting of absolute garbage. I don't even have to use hyperbole to demonstrate how terrible your post is, an actual direct quote is sufficient.

In my experience, these guys are just as bad as Marxists, because they just start arguing semantics as soon as they get cornered in an argument.

How do they prove such allegations when the supposed acts occurred decades ago?

Hey, i remember the very same thread with this very picture long ago.

There was a similar but not identical threat a while back. If I recall correctly, OP was bitching about the BO's moderation policy rather than the sticky.

>Also priori arguments don't cut it.

But that is itself an a priori statement, not a positivist one :^)

It's impossible to attempt to refute a priori reasoning without using multiple a priori arguments yourself; by the very act of dismissing the conceptual approach you only affirm its validity.

>>99743

>because they can be disproven via empirical evidence and it sounds as schizophrenic and Keynes.

They cannot be. A priori arguments, if they are logically sound, are by definition correct, and cannot be disproven by any occurence. To say that empirical evidence has disproven marginal utility is like saying that a triangle was discovered that shows Pythagoras' Theorem to be wrong.

A priori arguments still are not infallible. If you find independent reason to discard them, then you can do so. Empirical evidence, no matter how overwhelming it seems, is at best a reasonable incentive to look at what is wrong with the a priori argument. In this context, it is important to remember that there is only one reality. There can never be a genuine conflict between properly interpreted empirical evidence and logically valid a priori argumentation.

Another way to look at it is this: Every observation must be interpreted in the light of what we know without any observation. For example, the scientific method relies on experimentation, but for experiments to be meaningful, causality must be real. The validity of experimentation stands and falls with causality. Likewise, to make sense of economic data, you require a knowledge of economic laws. Otherwise, you rely on implicit laws.

As for your infopic, I'll leave that to someone else, for now, unless I find something striking in it.

>>99743

So, I looked at Friedmans graphs. I found this sentence striking:

>booms do not tend to cause recession of equal intensity, which is what would be required by the ABCT and similar business cycles

Honestly, why would they be equal? GNP is not a direct measure of wealth. For one, even blatantly unproductive transactions drive it up. Expenses by the state enter it at their nominal value, even if they were a mistake from a financial standpoint. That is for one. Meanwhile, services that clearly have value, but one that isn't expressed in monetary terms, do not enter it. It is not a perfect representation of the state of the economy. To treat it as such is wishful thinking.

Furthermore, there are, at any given moment, millions of factors driving GNP up or down. The same is true of most economic indexes. To expect a proportional relationship between two factors to be visible in the GNP, when millions of factors enter it, is not to know what GNP is.

Now, when I look at figure 1, I can see that every trough is preceeded by a peak. Certainly, the peak is not nearly as prominent, but it's always there.

I'll leave the rest of the interpretation to other anons. Perhaps some that have more of a background in statistical analysis.

anarchy is the surest way to get your liberties curbed and fast. it's an autistic mess of ideas. it's no different than fascists or communists either.

>da joos

>da white males

>da gubbamin

>da bourgeoisie

the reality of anarchy is chaos. owners shutting down roads, banks stealing your money, property you're not currently living at being taken away, no insurance, no way to ensure your food is safe, no way to ensure the restaurants you eat at are safe, nothing to protect you from fraud, nothing to stop foreign governments from buying property, no car insurance, no infrastructure to recover after damage, your neighbor'a poorly built house will fall on yours, nothing to stop a hoard of migrants, nothing to stop NGOs from bringing in migrants, nothing to stop bank fraud, cities will look like shit because you can build anything you want anywhere, and you guys can't even agree on an age of consent.

>>99763

>Anarchy means no liberties

>fascists and communists are the same

Are you an unironic Goldilocks republican? Seriously? Or are you just some retarded Monarchist who thinks that ultimate power should be concentrated in the hands of "my beautiful, perfect, noble lord" instead of "My beautiful, perfect, dear Fuhrer"?

Reading your post again it seems you're just a normalfag. How did you even find this board?

>>99766

I'm starting to notice increased influx of normalfags since that shooting.

>>99758

Socialists have a right to live. But children also have a right to consent.

>>99717

How do you figure? NEETSocs have no control over the state apparatus and they probably won't anytime soon. Any goons that kick down your door are going to be either commies or the tools of commies.

>>98452

If it was up to me, the state would get out of marriage, and marriages would henceforth be treated as contracts as far as the state is concerned, modified by religious canons. So if you are married by the Catholic Church, you don't get to divorce. When it's a muslim marriage, the women cannot divorce, but the man can do so unilaterally. And so on.

If it was up to me, everyone married couple would follow the rules of the Catholic Church, but where is the value in enforcing my religious views on what a proper marriage is on couples that do not share these views? If I can tolerate (in the true sense of that word) pagan chicks having open relationships, then I can tolerate muslims marrying five women at once. If they don't subsidize their bullshit, and am not obliged to respect it, then I am good. We live in an imperfect world, after all.

>Traditional Marriage as it was practiced before first wave feminism 100+ years ago, was created without the state, across cultures through voluntary social interactions.

But, anon, which libertarian would not admit that? I suppose left-wing libertarians, but there are very few on this board these days.

>>98602

>you need to already be married to a woman, and then have another woman join you in your household

That's what it means to you. That's not what it means to him or those people. I always thought it meant "woman who is less legally important than my wife, but one I nevertheless claim".

>>99718

Commie governments tend to collapse under their own weight anyways, and I'd fall under the special privileged class who gets to live the high life due to my skillsets in a commie government/flee the country when shit hits the fan. NEETSocs (who have a real chance of getting into power in a country that isn't 3rd world status already) when they get into power tend to fuck everything up in the process. Both would point a gun at my head and tell me that work makes me free, but the Commies at least intuitively understand that killing people like me is a quick step towards 3rd world status and give me cushiony living standards and sometimes even a girl to fuck.The Nazis just insist on me doing shit for them (or die) while living in abject poverty in their mockery of an economy that they claim is "booming." The NEETSocs are closer to the Mexican cartels in a lot of ways such as this. By process of elimination, I'd be more likely to point my gun at a NEETSoc invasion than a Commie invasion albeit I'd point my gun at either if I thought I had a winning chance.

Either be poor and avoid the taxes, or become rich in spite of them and then pay lobbyists to fight them.

In the us, capitalism just means free market economics, regardless of the spurious origins of the term.

>>99220

>Marx coined the term Capitalism

When will this meme end?

>>99266

It was coined by proto-Marxist socialists, however. Regardless, it's been pretty successfully coopted as a denotative term for free enterprise, rather than the pejorative it was originally. I still do my best to avoid using it on principle, however.

No because Marx never lived under a communist system. He did scam Engels out of money since his father was a factory owner.

I hope the time for giant imageboards like 8gag for 4cuck will be over. I want it to be like the olden days again where various niche imageboards dangled dicks together and shared users.
