I find your faith in humanity adorable. Curiously you trust humans, just not politicians, who are basically those of us that we collectively decided are the best ones for the job. If we can't even...

Hopefully not a bunch of loons like with direct democracy.

And no, I wouldn't trust it either, especially with our current understanding of the issues and their controls. Still preferable to a...

I'd much rather have an AI government than direct democracy. Half of the people are dumber than average.

The EU doesn't prohibit trade with non-EU countries. Looks like currently 55% of UK's exports go to non-EU countries.

Ong, you're talking against equality of outcome, I was talking about equality of opportunity. Sure, being poor will probably always be a handicap, but public education should be sufficient enough to...

^^Well my personal view is that both socialism and capitalism have their pros and cons, we should use what works best and not get stuck on ideologies and labels. Regarding schools, a good solution to...

In democratic states yes, as opposed to dictatorships/monarchies. Of the people, by the people, for the people.

Obviously not a single country in the world is either 0% or 100% socialist, there's always some private businesses and government owned entities in each. It's about nomenclature that best describes...

Owned or regulated. You know like government regulations on businesses and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nationalizations_by_country#United_Kingdom

"The information operatives who worked out of the Internet Research Agency in St. Petersburg did not stop at posing as American social media users or spreading false information from purported news...

I agree with the sentiment. I did already leave for a few weeks some weeks ago, though I'm sure no one noticed. Decided to give it another stab, but have to admit nanner peeing over all discussions...

Won't the added purchasing power (production) for the working class likewise create more demand and raise prices, therefore counteracting all that?



Looks like Say's law is "Supply creates its...

Maybe as part of global growth and technology advances. Doesn't change a thing about this being a direct transfer from the poor to the wealthy, who themselves seem to fairly adamant about not...

Would you describe that the poor in America at the moment are doing good and/or that the wealthy are not?



So who lied? There were several accusations by several defendants. You're absolutely...

To me it sounds like redistribution from to poor to the wealthy. The only way to see that as a "good" is to just look at the market as a whole, assuming it would create net growth. If the top 1% does...

Why?



So what were the good parts that were cut out? Or did the senate add the part where everyone gets tax cuts but for those earning less than $75k/year it's just temporary? What stops you...

Confirmation bias in full effect. If you've decided to stand by Trump you need to support him all the way, including his support for Moore, which means he must be innocent. You can't just go about...

I agree completely, these false accusations like birth certificates, Benghazi, emailgate, Uranium One etc are indeed a VERY bad thing. Sad.

How do you feel about the tax plan?

Occam's razor.

Let me summarize. People on the left share ideology with Marxism so they must be violent and bigoted, and they are in cahoots with ISIS to bring down terror and destruction to all of the west?

I think he's made millions just from the use of his hotels and resorts for government affairs. We obviously don't know what, if any, deals for personal gains he's made with businesses or nations....

Opposing fascism, that is, being anti-fascist isn't extremism comparable to fascism. It's being normal, and should be the default stance of normal people.

I'm definitely not saying that's impossible, but I vaguely remember you talking about and advocating Occam's razor in the past. To me, an outsider, it looks like a 70 year old millionaire born into...

The terms left and right date back to the French revolution, when in the senate the liberals sat on the left of the isle and conservatives on the right.
