Privatise everything

2019-11-11 11:57:13 UTC  

Even walking

2019-11-11 11:57:16 UTC  

£5 a step

2019-11-11 11:57:41 UTC  

unless you have a corporate sponsor

theres an auction coming up for michael jacksons socks... from his first moonwalk...

2019-11-11 12:06:18 UTC  

bidding starts at $100,000

2019-11-11 12:07:03 UTC  

now a marxist will tell you, that a labourer spent X amount of hours on those socks, therefore they are worth the same as any other pair of socks made to that spec

2019-11-11 12:09:39 UTC  

Wouldn’t a marxist declare that the stocks belong to the workers and thus can’t be sold?

2019-11-11 12:10:24 UTC  

Unless every single worker receives money from the bid.

"The labor theory of value is a major pillar of traditional Marxian economics, which is evident in Marx’s masterpiece, Capital (1867). The theory’s basic claim is simple: the value of a commodity can be objectively measured by the average number of labor hours required to produce that commodity."

I just want to go back to Keynes economic theory as a basis for policies

2019-11-11 12:21:31 UTC  

Well

2019-11-11 12:21:36 UTC  

Marx would tell you that

2019-11-11 12:22:03 UTC  

Hayek ftw

2019-11-11 12:22:14 UTC  

Hayek hasn’t been working

2019-11-11 12:22:15 UTC  

A marxist would tell you to distribute the money the auction made to the workers that made the socks

2019-11-11 12:22:18 UTC  

classical liberalism wins every time

2019-11-11 12:22:25 UTC  

But it hasn’t though

2019-11-11 12:22:34 UTC  

A postmodern marxist would tell you to give the money to a transblack lgbt midget fund

2019-11-11 12:22:38 UTC  

Most successful countries are those that stimulate their economies

"Although our modern socialists' promise of greater freedom is genuine and sincere, in recent years observer after observer has been impressed by the unforeseen consequences of socialism, the extraordinary similarity in many respects of the conditions under "communism" and "fascism"" - Hayek

2019-11-11 12:23:15 UTC  

communism didnt work either

2019-11-11 12:23:41 UTC  

Do you know what Keynes is

2019-11-11 12:23:45 UTC  

It’s not communism lmao

2019-11-11 12:23:51 UTC  

Not in the slightest

2019-11-11 12:24:23 UTC  

I know what keynesian is thanks

2019-11-11 12:24:51 UTC  

Then what relevance is communism lol

2019-11-11 12:24:51 UTC  

just as Hayekian wasnt communism

2019-11-11 12:24:57 UTC  

I never said it was

2019-11-11 12:25:05 UTC  

cos Hayek mentioned it in the quote i posted

2019-11-11 12:25:07 UTC  

I’m gonna stop already

2019-11-11 12:25:14 UTC  

I already know this is gonna be pointless

"There is no reason why, in a society which has reached the general level of wealth ours has, the first kind of security should not be guaranteed to all without endangering general freedom; that is: some minimum of food, shelter and clothing, sufficient to preserve health. Nor is there any reason why the state should not help to organize a comprehensive system of social insurance in providing for those common hazards of life against which few can make adequate provision" - Hayek

Farage has said he wont contest Tory seats

either people convinced him with reason, or more donors expressed dissatisfaction

2019-11-11 12:33:57 UTC  

I'm leaning towards the latter

2019-11-11 12:44:09 UTC  

Labour could still pull a switcheroo late in the game... if Corbyn is no longer leader, that might bring a lot of people into Labours court

2019-11-11 12:44:46 UTC  

Corbyn seems to be the sticking point to a lot of labour voters, from what I can see... but then again... it is only on twitter so...

2019-11-11 12:46:33 UTC  

I can't see them doing that so close to elections.

2019-11-11 12:47:06 UTC  

I don't remember something like that ever happening

2019-11-11 12:47:20 UTC  

well they clearly need to pull something out of their hat... they can surely see they are about to be crucified
