In theory
(((in theory)))
the intention was to create a system so rich people could own more land and slaves
It was designed to be rigged
```"It is true that the theory of our Constitution is, that all taxes are paid voluntarily; that our government is a mutual insurance company, voluntarily entered into by the people with each other; that each man makes a free and purely voluntary contract with all others who are parties to the Constitution, to pay so much money for so much protection, the same as he does with any other insurance company; and that he is just as free not to be protected, and not to pay any tax, as he is to pay a tax, and be protected.
But this theory of our government is wholly different from the practical fact. The fact is that the government, like a highwayman, says to a man: Your money, or your life. And many, if not most, taxes are paid under the compulsion of that threat."
-Lysander Spooner.```
Mmh. More than likely, but it makes discerning the interest of the state harder to discern, because the interest of the state isn't always the interest of the state itself, but rather the most wealthy and influential people under the state.
Heheh, I love that comparison. I like to picture the IRS hiding in the bushes as I exit work with my paycheck and they pop out with a gun like "Hey, faggot. Have you paid the government yet?"
He talks about practical fact and then immediately gives a metaphor.
That video is almost two hours long. This would have to be the most intellectually stimulating reading material I've ever heard read to me for me to listen to the whole thing.
Added to watch later
It's an audiobook. 2 hours is pretty short for a book.
True enough. And I can watch it at 1.5x speed to speed-listen
Ah Spooner. Yes yes we heard it all before. Here is a video of the guy who invented Regenomics explaining why Libritarianisim would fail https://youtu.be/6_6tQCUanM4
The capitalsim is function
Nope. Watch the full video
Keynesianism is about as far from capitalism as marxism. This dude is retarded.
People seem to think economics is capitalist propaganda, when really it's just observations about how people make choices. There's a degree to which capitalism influences economic observations, but the laws and theories can be applied to any economic system.
Mainstream economics is commie propaganda. Even the Chicago school is commie propaganda.
Ehh, possibly. I'm not sure my micro-economics textbook has much in the way of propaganda, but I also wouldn't say it's propaganda-free.
just do linear regression, debunks bullshit economics
What is that, some sort of **r e g r e s s i v e l e f t** tactic?
Empiricism is commie propaganda, comrade.
@SinSanguine no, it's called statistics/math
