Socialism (particularly in a mixed economy with capitalism) is awesome, its fascism that sucks.


Wait, socialism in a 'mixed economy with capitalism' (Huh) doesn't turn out to be the same as fascism in 99% 100% of cases?

Or, what about when those socialist countries do things like ban homeschooling (Sweden) or invade a bunch of countries and kill people in them (the U.S.) or make people wait 2 years for cataract surgery while going blind (Canada) or write socialist regulations explicitly limiting the financial liability of oil companies for environmental disasters (a bunch of countries including the U.S.) or hey [insert lots of other bad things states do] [insert more bad things states do]

Elected officials control trillions of dollars and billions of bullets. The corporation that does not buy the politicians is at a competitive disadvantage. They are merely playing the "game" that was set up for them, a game of socialist/statist violence.

Actually, never mind. "Noun-1 [Verb 'to be'] Noun-2 (identity)" is not sufficient to form a higher order abstraction. General semantics phail @ X form of government "is" "awesome". Forget everything I just said as it was not necessary.

Chavez would probably support bitcoin if it was explained to him. After all he hated the US banking system and bitcoin gives the power back to the people.

The vice president stated hours before Chavez's death that foreign powers (eg. USA) gave the cancer to Chavez.  It is unlikely such people would look favourably upon bitcoin, a concept very hard to understand for non computer literate people, on a still predominantly USA controlled Internet, published by a mysterious entity that no one has ever met (Satoshi could be a CIA operative!).  Anyway, bitcoin takes away the ultimate in currency control that dictators the world over love.

+1, remember they appeal to the poor in both good and bad ways, although they do nice stuff to benefit the poor people and help them raise their quality of life in a significant way, they must also know that the uneducated majority will believe them.

Have you ever considered how many deaths and poor people did democracy make? Give it a thought before calling another system worse ...

Straight to the essence, can't agree more +1

What did the poor man do to y'all?  Cry
socialism did murder about 160 million ppl world wide and Chavez did participate to make that number so there are plenty of reasons to hate him

Obama and Bush killed no less with their conquering military politics around the globe, do you suggest to hate them as well?

good.  maybe now i can get my Crystallex mine back.

My condolences.  I owned KRY for a brief while thinking it was going to get its permit eventually, but was lucky enough to get tired of waiting and exited prematurely with just a small loss.

Unfortunately for Venezuelans and all companies who had their assets expropriated stolen, based on the speech he just gave, the VP shows no signs of being better and might in fact be even worse.

Chavez was a statist. It's Statism, be it in the form of State Socialism or State Capitalism, that's the problem.  Churchill, Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, any Bush you care to name, Hitler, Obama, Thatcher, JFK, LBJ, FDR, etc.: all Statists.

The problem with Statists is that they think the power of the State is only safe if the "correct" people are wielding it, no matter who they're actually raping, robbing and killing while they wield it.


YES MA'AM!
I thoroughly appreciate your sentiment and share it exactly.
DROs 4tw ;-)

And people wonder why we call the silly libertarians "minarchists."

It's funny how at the beginning of last century people considered socialists and anarchists to be birds of a feather.

btw I prefer bitcoins to slowly rise than having them at 100$ tomorrow and 30$ the following day.

You are late to wish that.
