Green zealots want more socialism and less capitalism.
But socialists have “the worst environmental record on the planet,” @tomgpalmer tells me.
Capitalism often SAVES the environment.
It might sound counterintuitive…but here is evidence:
After wasting countless lives in Vietnam and Cambodia, the US walked away and everything turned out OK. The idea that world stability depends on US wars hasn't been true for over 80 years.
Communists think capitalist societies are terrible because they compare them to a utopian ideal.
Capitalists think capitalist societies are terrific because they compare them to the rest of recorded history and what is currently happening everywhere else.
We must never forget that it is in fact capitalism which has the moral quality in society. Not socialism, which is the elevation of the power of the government over the people.
Slaves weren’t participants in capitalism.
They were explicitly excluded from it.
Capitalism requires self ownership, property rights, and voluntary exchange. A slave has none of those.
Slavery isn’t capitalism in action.
It’s the denial of it applied to a group of people.
And it wasn’t unique to one race or region. Slavery has existed across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, before, during, and after the transatlantic trade.
To the extent that the West is to blame at all for the ills of the Third World it is to the extent that the West created Marx and his successors, among whom must be numbered many of those who advised the Third World leaders in post-war years.
Signs that you are NOT a FASCIST:
You support smaller government, not bigger government.
You support free speech, not censored or compelled speech.
You support the separation of economy and state.
You support private property, not public ownership.
Javier Milei effortlessly roasts leftists,
"They are professional vampires.. They will never want to work for a living. They are permanently lazy people."
