If it is so faulty, it seems someone would be able to point out specifically where it is faulty, not just some aimless criticism of my entire point.

It's been done - mostly in your thread on the topic - but you just don't care when anyone does it.

You seem to miss the point, cyclops, that none of my evidence has ever been specifically proven wrong

Yes, it has. Specifically.

For instance, can you prove that Hitler loved the Jews and their capitalist influence? If Hitler was such a rightee, he would have loved them, cyclops, I hope you realize such a simple point or concept?

What the **** are you going on about here? This doesn't make any sense at all.

Tell me: why should anyone bother engaging you on this subject? You don't care what anyone else has to say.

You didn't answer the question: why should anyone bother engaging you on this subject?

However, this subject does have some bearing on the economy. I have been reading Jerome Corsi's book titled "America For Sale," and it is somewhat eerie how some of the same old leftist fascist beliefs keep arising again and again. So to manage a free market economy, it is important to be aware of some of the pitfalls that can enter the equation.

The same Jerome Corsi who is a laughingstock in the political community for putting out books which are so full of errors, they can't even be defended by those who agree with his viewpoints? The dude who feverently believed that 9/11 was an inside job and still pushes this theory today? The dude who prattles on about the North American Union and Abiotic oil constantly?

This is the dude you look to for advice? Why do you pick the dumbest possible authors to read or refer to, Okie? Seriously.

@Cycloptichorn,

Calm down. I had the book given to me by somebody that had a whole bunch of books given to them and was passing them on, and so I am reading it. Some of it is interesting. He blames both Repubs and Dems. I don't agree with everything I read, and I am not reading every word.

Leftist Liberals regularly incorrectly claim what Rightist Conservatives are.

You are a welfare bum! Admit it!

The Constitution does not delegate to the federal government the power to take private property from those persons and from those organizations who have lawfully earned their property, and give that property to those persons and organizations who have not lawfully earned that property.

Simplistic would be more like it okie. Were Jews a capitalist influence? Were they the only capitalist influence? Did Hitler not love them simply because they were capitalist?

If there is no competition because the Jews control everything, is it really capitalism?

I would love to see you support the contention that Hitler thought the Jews were a capitalist influence that promoted free markets.

Do you believe true capitalism can exist without free markets?

Are you saying Bolsheviks are for free markets? Hitler accused Jews of being Bolsheviks. That hardly makes him want to love them for being capitalists. In fact, wouldn't those on the right be more likely to oppose Bolsheviks than those on the left?

What annual rate of inflation would you deem to be desirable in the U.S. economy?

@realjohnboy,

Right now we are fighting deflation as hard and fast as we can. Inflation is just a memory in the past. We don't want deflation!

okie neither understands labels, history, or political concepts. okie's above quote proves all three points; he totally confused.

Okay, ci, instead of throwing out your insults, I am challenging you to explain in very simple terms, the following political philosophies" communism, democratic socialism, fascism, and then conservatism or free market capitalism. I want to see how an expert like yourself will describe those philosophies. After all, this is a forum where participants can impart their informed opinions, or uninformed ones too, and I am interested in yours. This is not a complicated question, as you should be able to give the definitions of those philosophies in a sentence or two each, a paragraph for each at most.

That's something like asking to compare apples, pears, oranges, steak and salad ... all can be part of a meal.

@Walter Hinteler,

Is that the best you can do, Walter? I will ask you the same question I asked of imposter, then. Try to answer it. After all, you are a supposed expert on political philosophies, right? You do not have to make something complicated out of something that should be fairly easy for you. Use online references and cite them, that would do better than nothing.

@okie,

Indeed, okie. It's the best.

I'm no expert in political philosophy at all - actually I've tried to avoid it as good as possible at university.

But I think, just high school knowledge (from the 9 or 10) is good enough to get that e.g. democracy is a different term to capitalism and socialism and ...

I don't think that political philosophy was a big topic at all when I studied political sciences - it only got (back) in the spotlight after John Rawls published his most famous book ...
