So when you filled out your taxes this year, was there a
soldier in your living holding a gun to your head? No.
When you went to work today, was there a security guard
there, forcing you to work? No. As far as an outside
observer is concerned, no force has been applied in either
case.
Real force is when cops come to drag you off to jail for
not paying taxes. Yes. But real force is ALSO when
security guards come to drag you off to jail for trespassing.

A government takes. A company takes. Same thing. Stock
holders provide nothing but paper and promise of more
paper to come. Stock holders promise nothing but calling
off the armed guards around resources. Who is doing the

Sure managers work hard. So do Kings and Emperors.
The difference between autocracy and democracy is who
you're working hard FOR. Kings may have been working
FOR their serfs, true. But without real debate, they
chase nothing but Rand fairytales, all the while killing
(firing, laying off) their peasants in the name of
helping peasants. If you truly believe your ability to
manage is of value to your employees, then you would not
be afraid to let them vote on it.

Only apologists for slavery deserve to be slaves. You might
as well be defending Hitler and Stalin. Statistically, a
majority democracy is far less likely to be aberrant than
a minority. Is it perfect? No, it's not. THAT is why
there is a filibuster in the Senate. THAT is why it takes
more than a majority to amend the Constitution. THAT is
why freedom of speech must be guaranteed, why autocratic
intimidation and capitalist media censorship must be banned.

Wrong. That "workers' committee" would be all consumers.
And if workers think they deserve more, they would
educate the public as to why they need what they need.
Of course, education under capitalism is a bad thing.

And those rights include freedom of speech and of democracy.
Why? Because freedom of speech is the source of all mutations
in the "philosophy pool" and democracy forces cooperation in
a society of jackasses that would otherwise tear each other's
throats apart. This means an end to execution, silent
imprisonment, and commercially based communication costs.
This means both consumer and employee democracy.

Chop off the tip and the rest of the iceberg rises to take
its place. The answer, however, isn't a smaller iceberg.
The answer is a bottom-up power structure. The way a democratic
republic was meant to be. Employees electing managers from
among their peers, and so on up the chain. Not only will it
lead to a flatter hierarchy, but eliminate the fear of
reprisal, should employees disagree with their manager.
THAT is true freedom of speech. THAT is what encourages the
production of new ideas.

Or King James. A "translation" says more about the "translator"
than the original work itself. But whether God is a singular
entity or in each one of us (or both or neither) isn't what
matters. What matters is what makes a society with one system
of beliefs "fit to survive". Altruism. Defiance of the
fallibility of human authority. Original Sin isn't
just about Sex (TM). It's about denying another person access to
your land just so you can grow food. It's about denying another
person access to your equipment just so you can make a living.
It's about standing in front of your store, weapon in hand,
guarding "property" produced by someone else.

I don't know about that, but to assume that the modern bible was

OK, if the Ten Commandments are the basis of all laws, then why aren't
all of them made into laws? (eg respect your father and mother, no
adultery, etc.) Additionally, there are many laws for which it would
be a huge stretch for you to say came from the Bible. (Heck, Jesus
was probably turning water into wine before he was 21! -- though I
doubt if he ever drove drunk)
The truth is, when this country was settled, it was settled by people
trying to escape having someone else's religion crammed down their
throats. Many laws are probably derived from the ten commandments,
but many are not, as well.
Furthermore, even if Jefferson et al did found our constitution on
their religion, that doesn't mean that's how it should be. Or is
Jefferson the second messiah to you, whose word shall be abided by
everyone?

It was founded on the fact that they realized systems
of belief based on blind faith could never reach agreement.
Of course, the only way to keep blind faith going is to
ban all expression of disagreement. Which is why your
church tells you all other religions are the work of the
devil. After all, if you actually heard anything about
another religion, that preacher might lose his job.
The fact is, the Bible was the one of the earliest works
of atheism, until it was railroaded by unemployed preachers,
who needed to sell crosses, shrouds, and their own
"translations" of the Bible.

In a time of peace, economic control could easily be done by
democracy. Though decisions may take longer than under an
autocracy, at least you'd have a much better guarantee that these
decisions would benefit more than just political and economic
autocrats.

If you ONLY allow the Ten Commandments, then it is indeed a
government sanction for a particular religion. But still,
if you ban its posting, you are limiting expression. The
solution? Post the beliefs of EVERY religion that wants
their beliefs posted, including atheism, and pseudo-religions

The separation of church and state is basically a
free speech issue. In Olde Europe, those who disagreed
with official government religion were persecuted, jailed
(much like how drug dealers, casino owners, and prostitutes
are jailed today). Our Founding Fathers (TM) knew that
religion was so entrenched in culture, that agreement would
be impossible. Thus they made the separation, guaranteeing
freedom of speech to people of any religion. If you deny
people the right to religious speech in a school or courtroom,
you are in fact denying free speech. Personally, I think
there will eventually be a convergence not only of religion
but of political philosophy as well... as long as freedom of
debate is never restricted. Will we lose our culture? That
question is moot. We've already lost it. No culture is the
same as it was 100 years ago, or even a day ago. But luckily
we have invented written records that allow us to see what
we've come from, and what we've learned.

"Recession" is a joke. Nothing but a boogeyman invented
by capitalists to scare little kids. The fact is, you
don't need paper or numbers to keep any company running.
People are only laid off if there's a person laying
people off. It does NOT happen magically by numbers.
As long as farmers are willing to trade food for the product
of someone else's labor, there will never be unemployment.
Boom-bust economics only happens because of capitalist
stupidity. Producers produce too much, huge sales. A boom.
They produce even more. Glut the market. Consumers no longer
need to buy it, because they already have it. Sales plunge.
A bust. Lay offs. So what do capitalists do? LIMIT the
amount of production during "boom" periods. NOT produce as
much as they can. An efficient economy? Don't make me
laugh. And capitalists wonder how communist countries can
do so much with so little.

Cooperation IS self-interest (all least for the intelligent
ones). The best wat to "force" cooperation is implementing
REAL democracy and REAL freedom of expression. REAL
democracy means all power comes bottom-up instead of top-down.
This includes the workplace and the marketplace. This includes
the employee-manager relationship. REAL freedom of expression
means no one is censored, not by coercion, not by intimidation,
not by execution, not by silent imprisonment, and not by
expensive communication costs.
Democracy forces cooperation because no one can get their
policies passed alone. Thus they are forced to educate
their peers, give away their secrets, and debate their
opponents. It is by real debate that new ideas are produced
and tired ideas debunked.

Human beings evolved the need to compete in order to
survive. Sometimes they competed against animals,
sometimes against other humans, sometimes against the
forces of nature. Competitive games used as an
entertaining way to satisfy this need are fine,
especially if it boosts morale.
On the other hand, competition also leads to jealousy,
fear, and hatred. Thus humans also evolved the
emotions of pity and guilt, to foster cooperative
effort. To tell the difference between when you
should compete and when you should cooperate is WHY
YOU HAVE A BRAIN. Like, duh.

if the bond market was dominated by Americans in the first
place. The basic question is, when you purchase a U.S.
bond, do you REALLY expect that money back, or are you
just giving the government welfare? Of course, the bond
market, like everything else in a capitalist society, is
a pyramid scheme. Using current buyers to pay off old
buyers.
The fact that it IS a pyramid scheme isn't what matters.
What matters is how that money will be spent. Whether
it's on lame-brained competitive effort, hiding secrets
and inventing lies, or on cooperative effort, like
producing new knowledge and a better labor force all
around the world. Cooperative effort, of course, fails
under capitalism, because it puts our own people out of
work.

Earth to Kenneth, do you read? What DO you think the New
Deal was? Completely modeled after traditional "communist"
central planning. Inventing semi-useless work, just so
people have an excuse to keep the economy running. Telling
people to go buy a car and put a car-maker to work. All
that paper money people hoarded after the run on the banks
had to be put back in the economy somehow.
While autocratic planning of the economy was useful during
wartime when quick decisions had to be made, it is not
quite so useful during peacetime, because that may lead to
militarism and a very fragile peace (Reaganism). Eisenhower
realized this, and warned against the military industrial
complex. But what he didn't (or rather couldn't) realize
was that leaving economic planning to capitalism is just
replacing political autocrats with economic autocrats. And
that is why our capitalist economy today has so many semi-
useless products that need multi-million dollar marketing
campaigns just to sell, while welfare, health care, and
education are still "too damn expensive".

Patriotism is racism by country.
Capitalism is racism by company.
Autocracy is racism by power.
Rush is a guy who got tired of being the target just
for being fat, and is now redirecting the crosshairs
at someone else. Of course, he's really a liberal at
heart, protecting freedom of expression for patriots,
capitalists, and autocrats. Which he has every right

Get a clue. A leftist Jew is a leftist. A rightist Jew is a
rightist. The same goes for "normal" whites. The same goes
for blacks, hispanics, asians, russians, males, females, overweight,
underweight, Big Endian, or Little Endian. The sorry fact is,
everyone's a selfish bastard, no matter who the fuck you are.

selfishness either by sharing political power, economic
wealth, and/or intellectual knowledge.

Don't forget Sony and the Japanese. Ever wonder why, for a

to be either German, Italian, or Japanese? Why losers win?
It's a constant cycle. Losers ask themselves why they lost,
what they could do better. Then they succeed, and become
doomed to complacency and conservatism, opening the door to
a new generation of losers to beat them into the ground...
If not racism, then religious persecution, or intolerance
of Republicans. This will happen as long as no nation
in this world is willing to share both political and

Wrong. Soon it will be Asians. Before Koreans owned all
the small grocery stores, know who ran them? Jews. And
before that? Whatever the latest wave of immigrants was.
Irish, Eastern European, whatever. So what about after
the Asians? Probably Russians and Arabs. But it's NOT

The reason for Jewish success is the same as that for
immigrant success. Simply because they were always
persecuted, they were always immigrants. Immigrants
succeed because they are always attacked for being
"wrong". This causes them to look into themselves for
weaknesses; and they fix the ones they can, and then
notice the same weaknesses in their oppressors. It is
easier for the "inconspicuous oppressed" to succeed
because it is harder to point them out. This is why
left-handers, the near-sighted, closeted homosexuals,
atheists (in a religious country), second-born sons,
and children who were physically weak during their youth
succeed.

One you return with money, the other you return with money.

It's quite obvious from your tone that you really ARE trying
to deflect the rebirth of communism into a racially charged
issue. But, of course, you face a never-ending battle. Like
the Pheonix that rises from its ashes, neither communism nor
democracy will ever go away. Sharing power, sharing money.
Same thing. THAT is why the communist Domino Effect is as
unstoppable as the democratic Domino Effect.

And yet that country is able to support so many more people
(along with India) than this one, despite having such "sad
technology" and "stupid health care". Communism / socialism
are able to support so many people because they share wealth.
This country is able to produce so many ideas because it
the sharing of power promotes freedom of expression. Capitalism
only causes new ideas to be lost behind trade secrets.

Under a capitalist "democracy" there ARE no citizens. Only
victims. EVEN the rich. As if they are making life better
for themselves by perpetuating capitalism. All it produces
is trade secrets, patents, copyrights, marketing. So much

treatment drugs? Under capitalism, there's only ONE answer.

We already carry a big stick. It's time to offer a
bigger carrot. No matter how much bigger we make our
stick, there will always be "terrorism" as long as
there's poverty, as long as freedom of the press belongs
only to the rich or powerful. "Terrorism" is nothing
more than warfare with smaller armies, because our armies
have enough power to crush all large armies. Under
capitalism, terrorism against economic autocrats are evil,
but terrorism against political autocrats are "freedom
fighters". As long as the only way the powerless can
get themselves heard is by pulling "publicity stunts",
then those publicity stunts will only get Bigger and
Better (TM).

History belongs to those who write it. Stalin's atrocities
may be much more publicized today if the Soviet "communist"
autocrats had actually allowed survivors to leave and come
here to tell about it. With the collapse of the Soviet
Union so many decades later, all of that has already started
to fade from society's memory with each passing generation.
The fact is, the rise of autocracy is evil under EITHER
communism or capitalism. It's only more interesting to us
living under a capitalist "democracy" because it HAPPENED
under a capitalist "democracy." Why do we humans consider
autocracy to be evil anyway? The answer is that those value
systems which label the most inefficient human actions as
"evil" are the most likely to survive. Autocracy is called
"evil" because it usually fails miserably at building morale,
thus forcing valuable resources to be wasted on propaganda
and marketing.

Here is the scam. A politician gets elected. Whatever his
views, it hardly matters. But then he gets briefed by
national security advisors and real economists. And
discovers the real secret: that both capitalism and
autocracy are failures. But that is exactly what every
system of government in this world is, to differing
degrees. These pitiful politicians realize that their
entire society is a lie. Some get so disillusioned that
they quit. Others stick it out as hypocrits, trying to
hint their way to democratic communism. This usually
fails because we live in a society of idiots who can't
take hints and would sooner kill you than agree with you.
So these pitiful politicians have to invent war, invent
racism, invent hatred just to retain the ability to keep
dropping hints. It's a testosterone world. Peace, welfare,
and education just aren't macho enough topics.

Debt means nothing but new jobs. Democrats attack Reagan

Democrats for controlling Congress when it happened. Who
the hell cares? What REALLY matters is should those new
jobs be spent producing something destructive or

At least it creates Jobs (TM)! All the investigators,
all the paper pushers, all the judges, the pundits,
the spin-doctors. The problem with a capitalist
society is that if it doesn't invent new crimes and new
regulations to punish people for, it'll put a lot of
unhappy prison guards, lawyers, and inspectors out of
work.

When monopoly or oligopoly forms, it can indeed create great
efficiency. However, then it becomes a competition between
producer and consumer, both sides wanting more dollars. This
could be easily fixed by implementing consumer democracy.
As for the "absence of dynamism", that only occurs when the
monopoly company is run like an autocracy (like our current
"communist" states). When employees become too afraid of
their managers to disagree, the company stagnates. This could
easily be fixed by implementing employee democracy.

Indeed, Teddy WAS a flaming liberal, as was the rest of
the Republicans before the Great Depression. But when
FDR's conservative Democrats came into power, they had
their work cut out for them by an economic crisis. THAT
was the turning point of American politics. He was
forced to adopt communist programs in order to repair
the collapse of the country's capitalist pyramid scheme.
You don't think the Party of Emancipation became the
Party of Capitalism simply out of natural drift do you?
Lincoln was shot because he was a proto-communist, much
like Jesus was a proto-communist ("malice towards none,
charity for all"). His biggest mistake was not being able
to convince his "opponents" that "malice towards none"
really DID mean malice towards none. And so he went the
way of JFK, because capitalists can't see that wealth can
actually be created by production rather than by printing
currency.

Hardly 80 years. The turning point of both parties
didn't come until FDR. Before that, Republicans
were quite liberal. In the end, what party you belong
to hardly matters anymore than your religion or color.

"Where they were wrong" is the day autocracy prevented
true communism from taking place. Where we were wrong
was the day capitalism prevented true democracy from
taking place. Where EVERYONE was wrong was in the
misinterpretation of Darwinism - that humans evolve
individually. Humans have long stopped evolving
individually, but evolve as a society, by cooperation.
The illusion that one person is "genetically" smarter
than another one is false. It is merely a difference
in outlook. Some can only find weaknesses in others,
some can only find weaknesses in themselves, and others
look for both. "Intelligence" seems to grow out of
oppression - whether you're left-handed, near-sighted,
fat, thin, an immigrant, or not a first-born son.
What it REALLY grows out of is the simple recognition
that everyone is wrong in one way and right in another,
and the desire to figure out which parts are which.

Those are basically examples of "communist" autocracy. Which
can all be solved by consumer democracy. And you wouldn't
even need too many small companies if you had employee
democracy.

The problem with media in general is that we're all fooled
that there are 2 strict sides to any issue. Democrat or
Republican. Conservative or Liberal. American media has
produced a mindless population devoid of the ability to
think for themselves, unable to criticize both sides.

There really isn't much of a difference. Whether you lose
money to your employer or money to your government, it's
all just deflation in the end. What REALLY matters is
how that money is spent. An intelligent society would
spend it on the production and spread of knowledge - ie.
welfare, education, and research. Whether it's public or
private doesn't matter either, as long as there's enough
consumer and employee democracy.

It would depend on your definition of wealth. If you define
it in terms of the amount of dollars in circulation, then
it indeed is limited. If you define it in terms of labor,
knowledge, and access to resources, then it is in fact NOT
limited. What we gain in terms of knowledge and access to
new resources could be easily given back to society, to
train those who are out of work, and prepare them to be more
productive. THAT is what efficiency is.

Real supply side economics would not require much government
action at all. All you need to do is convince stock holders
that companies run like "communist" autocracies (shared
resources and a top-down command structure) are doomed to
inefficiency. Then, either these companies will have to
restructure themselves, or risk "defection" of both investors
and employees to those companies with more democracy,
more freedom of speech, and more even distributions of income.
Of course, nobody dares actually say this, or it might lead
to an SEC investigation. Either that, or he's a stock
broker... nobody likes giving away trade secrets in a
capitalist society.
