Also, I like the way they encourage everyone to place selfishness above all things, and then ask for donations to keep the site open…

It's that charity which capitalists swear will be sufficient to care for the poor!

How does to market adjust to stop raping, stealing and killing?

Reminds me, there is/was a loony right wing cult in the town where I live called Zenith Applied Philosphy, ZAP for short. they used to do things like harrass owners of lada cars for being closet communists and such like. They used to have to do public humiliation for pannance wearing their underwear on the outside of their trousers and suchlike. I remember seeing one a few years back where this guy was speaking about 'free market charity" where if you gave someone something you could expect that person to work it off at a later time.

There's very little about ZAP on the web, they keep to themselves these days as they've all grown up and now are respectable businessmen and politicians

In the same way as it adjusts to stop train spotting, gardening and bell ringing.

But of course, why couldn't I see that before?

Authoritarian conditioning, sexual repression and the irrational in politics.

Maybe this is just me being irrational, but I'd much rather some sad sexual innadequate entertained himself by going trainspotting, rather than raping or murdering me.

Christian.

well, what do you expect from Randoids and right-"libertarians"?

The whole point is to deny reality, praise the elite and misrepresent other theories. They obviously, for example, do not understand what democracy means -- they should at least understand Rousseau's concept of the general will and that the majority voting for something does not make it right.

What's in it for them? (There's nothing in it for us either, you could explain what "should" means here).

Abdication.

Edward VIII, his sacrifice was our salvation. God bless the Queen.

Deadly

that's fucking hilarious

a capitalist system backed up by mercenaries in lieu of a state = peaceful competition of ideas. here's a competition of trade, ideas and dollars; you have no property, i do, and thus the means to hire you and a load of mercenaries to keep you in line. you don't think this is good. my idea wins, PWNED11!!

"That is why Michael Jordan -- or a doctor -- gets paid millions of dollars more then the minimum wage. It depends on how well and how much they produce"

Definitely my favourite. All I have to do now is figure out exactly what it is Michael Jordan 'produces'.

Other than more T -cells.

"If a laborer -- say Michael Jordan -- "

theyre really flogging this michael jordan example like lol

i can't be bothered to look cos they're obviously nuts, but do they try and justify capitalism in terms of fair rewards for labour then? cos that's nuts, Adam Smith of all people stressed the profits of stock couldn't be understood as wages for a kind of labour, but were quite distinct.

they sound like my school economics book....
