He probably just logged out for a while due to people making moronic statements like this and thinking they were being clever. 😀👌👍

Which countries do you believe practise Marxism?
None and almost all.

What I meant was, that Marx have had profound impact on how governments operate, to the extent that it should be compulsory reading before anybody posts opinions on how governments should operate.

That is of course only my opinion.

A frivolous post yet you have a Congressman pushing it and a President asking about it, with a smile but that is how Canada becoming the 51st state started, it started as a joke and then he decided to try and make it happen through an economic war.
do not fool yourself , there has always been a simulated take over plan of Canada kicking around Washington, a military and an economic plan
Electing a divisive exceptionally stupid Prime Minister just made the plan a whole lot more viable

Additionally, I find it interesting that you now appear to support tariffs, making a case for them while also implying expertise in economics.
Too funny, how's that modern monetary theory panning out for you.
Oops, you mean you can not borrow in perpetuity ?

The tariffs are the stick to get a secure boarder. And the military spending Canada had committed to
Trudeaus open boarder policy was so destructive and yet it was so preventable had he understood his responsibilities were not aligned with his ideology

I'm not sure what your point is.
You made this statement:

Sorry, sometimes I don't make the distinction between Marx and Marxism.

Marx had important things to say.
Marxism in practice has not really worked in practice.

My point is how can you make a blanket statement like that based on only 2 countries practising it?

I always supported tariffs under Republican and Democratic administration alike. The U.S. has probably helped perpetuate a very harmful long-term path for the German and Chinese economies.

I don't know if I consider myself an expert in economics. I read a lot of impartial economists. My understanding of economics appears to be greater than most members. You can usually tell when someone is repeating something they just heard or whether they truly have a lot of knowledge.

You're obviously fishing around for some way to put me down without the need to have command of the subject.

PS- Don't sweat a constitutional amendment for a third-term. It's solely for entertainment.

Fair enough. I was challenging Earp's assertion that Marxism has been shown to not work.

Is there really someone on here that honestly believes there was a government running the United States of America with a $7 Trillion budget with no corruption?
So you are agreeing that when people assert that trump's gov't is corrupt, they are correct.

Whataboutism is not your friend.

Agriculture is a political nightmare almost everywhere.
No doubt.
Hopefully supply management does not become the last issue holding up a deal.


You don't have to like RFK Jr. to know he talks some sense about U.S. agriculture and processed foods.
I do not follow RFK Jr., no disrespect to his views , good or bad.

There is a reason that they have 3 different names. It's because they are different. As such they are distinguishable.
rebranding
a pig with lip stick is still a pig,
They all distill down to government wealth redistribution, loss of freedoms and big government
And all are failures and the sharing of misery
just count the dead bodies curtesy of the peoples own governments

really, you would think the last nine years would have been enlightening , but no
it is something much deeper / darker with the left than just pretending they are appalled by corruption

I am asserting that every single government since the first ape walked upright has had some form of corruption.

To assert that Biden’s government had no corruption is total absurdity.

I agree whataboutism is no ones friend.

So, are you asserting that Biden’s government was 100% corruption free?

Are you arguing loss of freedom is ok if the rich get tax breaks?
