En 1979, un presentador de TV le preguntó a Milton Friedman si no le daba vergüenza defender un sistema basado en la codicia.
La respuesta se estudia hasta hoy:
«—Cuando ves la mala distribución de la riqueza, tan pocos que tienen tanto y tantos que no tienen nada… ¿nunca has dudado del capitalismo, de si la codicia es una buena idea?
—Primero dime: ¿conoces alguna sociedad que NO funcione con codicia? ¿Crees que Rusia no funciona con codicia? ¿Que China no?
¿Y qué es la codicia? Ninguno de nosotros es codicioso, claro. El codicioso siempre es el otro.
Los grandes logros de la civilización no salieron de despachos del gobierno. Einstein no construyó su teoría por orden de un burócrata. Ford no revolucionó el automóvil así.
Los únicos casos en la historia en los que las masas escaparon de la pobreza son aquellos donde hubo capitalismo y libre comercio.
—Pero parece premiar la habilidad de manipular el sistema, no la virtud.
—¿Y qué premia la virtud? ¿Crees que un comisario comunista premia la virtud? ¿Un Hitler? ¿Crees que los presidentes americanos eligen sus cargos por virtud… o por peso político?
Dime: ¿dónde están esos ángeles que van a organizar la sociedad por nosotros?
Yo ni siquiera confío en ti para hacerlo.»
Dear @TheEconomist, @elonmusk was right.
I have traveled from America to the UK multiple times to document the open border and rise of Sharia in the UK.
Your country has become completely unrecognizable. People openly tell me on the street how they plan on implementing Sharia and it's by using woke people like you to vote in the people who will implement laws that include stoning women to death for adultery. It is not a far right stance to be against this, it is to be normal.
I have spent hours conducting interviews in the UK but this is just 4 min, so please watch this video and share it with your audience. Critique it, call me a conspiracy theorist, say whatever you'd like but please show it to your audience.
MARCO RUBIO: "Marxism is a distinctive & unique evil. They take revenge on the world for their own inadequacy.
It is a revolt of the worst, against the best. They tear down what greater men have built."
We think of this evil as Marxism. In reality, Marxism is nothing more or less than the current instantiation of a much more ancient evil: possession by the envious and hateful spirit that drove Cain to murder his brother Abel.
The great book of Genesis thus portrays mankind as riven by an eternal fratricidal conflict.
Those who reject genuine sacrifice become embittered by their subsequent failure ("rejection by God").
Instead of repenting and changing, they turn to revenge.
And who do they target? Those who strive to do well and offer what is best.
I can't believe how much wisdom the author of Genesis 4 compressed into that story's few sentences. You might even come to believe that God Himself had a hand in it.
Truly: it's uncanny. The first two human beings born into history are, respectively, a good, honest productive man and his brother, who allows himself to be consumed by resentment and the desire to destroy.
Communism, in a nutshell.
@KobieThatcher Nobody minds a Chinese, Korean, Thai, Japanese etc fruit and veggie shop.
They are law abiding and cause no trouble.
I would say you are stirring the pot to try and muddle the waters of what the real problem is.
