i like Thomas Sowell’s writings on the topic
Chicago school are all commies.
Cardinal utility and interpersonal comparisons of utility require assumptions that imply all of marxist theory, but they're empiricists, so they can reject logic and just look at the evidence.
Friedman was a commie?
Yes.
That’s the first time I’ve heard that one
Lol.
The fundamental difference between capitalists and socialists is epistemology.
Not moral.
Wasn’t Sowell a marxist at the beginning
and then changed
Yeah, still is, though.
It's definitely "problematic" to call them libertarians.
can you explain
They certainly weren't openly marxists, but many of the things they advocated for would lead towards it. Like support for central banking, UBI, America as world police.
Market socialists, so to speak.
Calling them commies is mostly shitposting, but there's a kernel of truth to it.
i was having trouble understanding how you could call someone that wants free market laissez faire capitalism a marxist
He doesn't. Most of his political writting directly contradicts everything he has done in his academic work.
Like he criticises inflation but supports the fed at the same time. Absolutely contradictory.
guess I never read his political work idk
will look into it
Here's Rothbard's criticism of him

Hayek is kinda problematic too as far as he is considered a libertarian.

hayek is the lowest case L libertarian this side of the american libertarian party
he's almost a chicago boy in my book
That first subverse video was pretty good
:O
Why do i gotta share a state with those chucklefucks
Id be fine with them being armed if it wasnt historically obvious that, if they took power, theyd act to confiscate everyone elses firearms
Tho they still look like twats
Dude's been lying
He is FUCKED
I heard he still had his subway sandwhich
After the attack
