Which is exactly why capitalism has cycle... capitalism makes crap... crap increases to unbearable level... revolution happens... revolution destroys itself due to human stupidity... capitalism is reestablished... repeat cylce...Admiral Breetai wrote:nonsense any mega corp that's so stupid as to reduce it's clients to peasantry have historically failed so hard it's not even funny and never by federal means..always due to it's share holders
Nope. Middle class is only thing you got right, and it gets destroyed due to Friedman's policies. But if you research it, you will realize that post-crisis and post-WW2 USA was socialistic democracy. Now it is corporatistic corporatiocracy, as is EU.no the huge middle class and the sheer amount of money it circulated into the economy and all the new businesses and success stories that came about after the war as a direct result of it...are to be thanked
Yay. Except country is being turned into cash dispenser for idiotic corporations.they'd be fighting for their country only this time directly hired by their people through their investing in the company he works for. in an era where the Internet allows for even people making minimum wage to buy and participate in the stock market..the ability to do what ever you want as a CEO is slowly dying..the working man who invests in your company has far more to loose and will not put up with your shirt
Since Crusades, actually. But if you knew history, you would know that Islam was quite tolerant at times... often even more than Christianity. But neither Crusades nor Jihad started for religious reasons. Main reason were Middle-eastern trade routes.so we're pretending the slaughter and rape of former Roman assets never happened? the invasion of the Iberian peninsula? So we're pretending the radical brutality that's been going on in India and parts of Asia since the era of the Mongol empire never happened?
Radical Islam has been around for as well over a thousand years
What the hell it has to do with anything?again in the 21 first century it's not fat bastards in top hats smoking Cuban Cigars and drinking brandy...it's every one you literally have to answer to..every one no matter their class what invests in your company..
Official history is written by corporations, and corporation-backed people. You have to look under the surface... but no, it's easier to close eyes and shut down...and congratulations with bolded you have resorted to using SWST's debate style and in doing so completely and utterly torpedoed your credibility with me let's see if we can't repair it Picard you're better then that.
Which nation? And I have cousin in Germany,, where many Poles come to work. Suffice to say, they aren't happy about EU at all.I immigrated from a nation that was ruined by the state saved by radical privatization then completely destroyed by the state again!
And you do realize that due to mechanics of capitalism, only one in hundred can achieve that, no matter how competent all 100 are? Beacouse all that money comes from somewhere... from someone else.and congratulations with bolded you have resorted to using SWST's debate style and in doing so completely and utterly torpedoed your credibility with me let's see if we can't repair it Picard you're better then that.
as for my experience? I immigrated from a nation that was ruined by the state saved by radical privatization then completely destroyed by the state again! I'm an immigrant who became a citizen of a nation that is the most powerful nation in history and probably one of the most influential civilizations..I'm proud to say I'm self made and no corporate big guy ever kept my down...the government did though lord knows it tried..the socialist and left leaning people in power..certainly monkey wrenched me and my boss for the first year or so of our venture it was hell on earth but all the same. Now I'm not living in a mansion flying private jets and drinking thousand dollar bottles of wine. But I am lucky enough to have my house..and be able to maintain my mom who's not been able to work since I was six..take my family on vacations visit the home land every now and then and feed myself really that's all I need I'd like more but I'm okay with just this especially because I never took a government check never got any subsidies never took some one else's money that I didn't repay and using the capitalist system..earned my place
my mother who happens to be an Irish American her father and Grandfather immigrated from a nation that was shit on and mercilessly exploited by the British state for generations...he was a ww2 vet came back..worked his ass off and made a not so shabby life to himself..no company ever exploited him or kept him down at all.
my ol'man and brother both work for a private university and do okay for themselves no ones oppressing them
So yeah I read what you post and come to two conclusions A: I'm either insanely lucky and hey maybe that's true I could be for all I know or B: based on my own life experiences and the life experiences of millions of people like me all over the world it isn't nearly as clear cut as you are making it out to be by any stretch of the imagination.
It was analogy. And BTW, in corporatist system, firefighters (that is, state) would drive rusty truck that would break down along the way and would never arrive - and wouldn't be able to help even if it does arrive.I'm not sure how the buying and selling of intestines came into your analogy I'll pass it up to you getting heated and rappid fire posting.
Country has to have military to defend against external threats - and no, even if all countries loose military, some external threats will still exist.them destroying it can't happen soon enough as for the casualties? both sides will pay for that
