whereas another friend moved from Colombia, just became a US citizen a couple years ago, and is a hardcore communist despite having a master's degree in economics

What the fuck

This shouldn't be allowed, in my opinion.

Reading basic economics didn't save him

I doubt he read Basic Economics

Ones political beliefs should be a disqualifier for entry.

He circulates SJW bullshit on Facebook all the time, too

woke anti-white stuff

Ideology that is antithetical to the free state should be a disqualifier

Goodnyaght everynyan! Having a horde of horse riding warriors just sounds cool

Funny how people like Sargon at a time made the impression of "the people don't matter the ideas matter." When its rather obvious the people who occupy a society are the ones whether they choose to uphold those ideas and values in themselves. And from what I hear alot of people from other places tend to look a bit differently at our values and often reject them for the place they came from.

But, as with Milton Friedman, Hayek, Thomas Sowell, Ronald Reagan, they all inevitably became staunch capitalists and champions of American conservatism.

Which just makes me want to think why are we obligated to take them?

and why did they even leave?

All ideology, then, @Samaritan™. 😄

Goodnight @Danacrag

I couldn't find a better way to word that I'm afraid

How does this happen, after pursuing a degree in economics, @yearspastmatter?

well he might have had woke professors who only assigned leftist reading material

I don't know

Its not like there isn't such thing as a """marxist economist""" despite how antithetical those terms might be

Exactly.

communists funny enough seem to always leave out the human factor...

Yeah I've gotta go

"whoa whats this an opportunist amongst our ranks has killed all the ideologically pure among us and siezed power for himself?"

I studied Marxist doctrine throughout my educational endeavors, and it inevitably led to my solidification as a proponent of self-organization, henceforth economic and social freedom. If you understand their values, their dogmas, the irony is they're best served under the natural disposition of capitalism.

Marxist Economics is kina like Army Intelligence - it's an oxymoron

It's not a form of economic discipline, however.

It's merely criticism and conjecture.

Criticism and conjecture preying on and cultivating the envy of the audience, while simultaneously exploiting a knowledge-gap.

You can say some have good intentions, are fundamentally motived by altruism, but the prevailing force is always that of envy.

Communism is literally the blob off the horror movie. It takes something complex like the human body, or in the case of this ideology, human society, and boils it down into soup. It’s against nation states, tradition, families, religion.

Take it easy, @Samaritan™.

"Imperch Troomp!

REEEE

National heritage and identity are bad

Marxism is essentially a kindergarten answer to the complexities of real-world economics
