We Are Marching To Socialism

I can't remember who said this but invisible hand is really balled up like a fist.

<font class="small"1Quote:</font1<h,121<b,121Isn't this just a radical (and predictable/predicted) swing back to the left after nearly 30 years of center-RIGHT economic policy? <b,121<b,121The pendulum is swinging left, and after another cycle, will move back again. This is how these things work, no? And, frankly, if government can't step-in in times of crisis, be it times of war, natural disaster, or man-made economic disaster, then what good is government?<b,121<b,121I would hope they would be looking for any viable solution, regardless of what ideology it falls under. <b,121<b,121<h,121

<font class="post"1<b,121<b,121Nope. This is not current political thought prevailing here; this is the complete and singular re-structuring of our Nation's economic system.

Yep. Paradigm shift.

<b,121<b,121<b,121<b,121...I first read this quote from a David McNally book (http://www.amazon.com/Another-World-Possible-Globalization-Anti-Capitalism/dp/1894037170)

There will be no cganges as long as 'the chicago boys' network is still running thangs. Or to paraphrase my dad's favourite quote...<b,121<b,121"The problems of the world will finally begin to be solved on the day the last banker is hanging from the entrails of the last politician..."<b,121<b,121Bascially these guys will always find away to turn a buck under ANY form of capitalism. Keynes was cool, but dont forget his whole theory was based, and accepted, around the notion that the working classes would move towards socialism, so the welfare state was a kinda of way of bribing ppl to accept regulated capitalism. Friedman and his Chicago boys led a long ass campaign to discredit Keynes' economic theories, displace them and destroy anyone who kept them alive (the whole IMF/WB is designed on that premise) so weven if a Keynes system is allowed to retuirn it will only be for as long as the public buys back all the bullshit, once the public coffers (and property) begins to accumulate in value the free marketers will be out for Keynesian blood again...<b,121<b,121"Its not a case of a free market, its really a case of free foxes amongst free chickens" Ernesto Guevara (UN Speech 1967)

<font class="post"1<b,121<b,121republic and democracy doesn't expel eachother, republic is the contrary of a monarchy<b,121democracy is the opposite of a dictatorship<b,121Nazi Germany was basically a republic and a dictatorship<b,121Sweden is a democratic monarchy<b,121the USA are a democratic republic<b,121<b,121both have elections. in the one, head of state is a monarch - in Sweden a king, in the other an elected president<b,121<b,121just to clear that up
