The homogenous cultural makeup of the democratic-socialist countries is not present in America. I love the Mexican flags being waved at the Bernie rallies and his supporters when protesting Donald Trump. That's why it wont work here and is a recipe for disaster.

It wont be voted in, is what your saying. Your not giving me a reason why our system is somehow different so that if it was implemented, it wouldn't work. I'm trying to seperate these two notions.

Supply-side economics has basically been proven empirically wrong. When you cut taxes on the rich, it usually (there are exceptions) doesn't give you the same tax revenue as you had before due to growth.

Reagan (or at least his handlers) knew it was bullshit when he said it. We have seen the impact -- record inequality, stagnate real wages, shrinking middle class. We're sick of fucking hearing it. Cutting taxes for wealthy people -- help wealthy people -- not poor or most middle class people. No shit? Shouldn't have that been obvious right away?

Reminds me of the r/k selection theory applied to politics Molyneux is fond of.

Fascinating. My conjectures are validated.

white priviledge exists

Only in the minds of the most delusional Cultural Marxists.

Also I would like to add that race doesn't exist and that its just a social construct.

OP and video producer obviously hate White People except when it comes to living in their countries and using all their evil inventions like internet and electricity.

I am simply saying that America was rising from 1775 -> 1930 or so so based on free markets and individual liberty. Progressives started to fuck things up at around 1900 and by 1930 the trajectory of the United States was flat. By 1970 it was downwards. The fact that people at the peak 1930-1960ish thought that social programs were a good idea is actually an indictment of those programs. I don't see why you are having trouble understanding this argument.

America's % of world GDP in 1820 = 1.8%

America's % of world GDP in 1870 = 8.9%

America's % of world GDP in 1913 = 18.9%

America's % of world GDP in 1950 = 27.3%

America's % of world GDP in 1980 = 21.1%

America's % of world GDP in 2008 = 18.6%

To me it is obvious that Reaganite polices do not work. The Coldwar including Vietnam is what I blame for slow growth after 1950. Huge drain on resources. We also don't invest in our workforce in America. At least, not like they do in many other advanced industrial societies. Apple has to go to Germany (with all their horrible unions) to get the more expensive parts of their phones made by their workforce. What is so wrong about having Apple work with the US government and not the German government?

Hmm I wonder what happened between 1913 and 1950? Oh right it was that part where we bombed the shit out of the manufacturing base and infrastructure of nearly all of our financial competitors. Not to mention The Federal Reserve and a little something called Bretton Woods. You were just talking previously about complexities and conservatives being unable to understand them yet you cherry pick everything.

Your information also doesn't say what you are saying. If anything it shows steady growth until the point Americas interventionist took over. Then its been nothing but decline accept for the accounted for growth I noted above which was due to a lack of competition and excess manufacturing capacity from the war.

We can just look at the damn thing in real terms then. It's not like you and Reav are making the exact same arguments.

I just don't see any evidence for his wild view of the history of our economy.

"I have given my life to try to alleviate the sufferings of Africa. There
is something that all white men who have lived here like I must learn and
know: that these individuals are a sub-race. They have neither the
intellectual, mental, or emotional abilities to equate or to share equally
with white men in any function of our civilization. I have given my life
to try to bring them the advantages which our civilization must offer, but
I have become well aware that we must retain this status: the superior and
they the inferior. For whenever a white man seeks to live among them as
their equals they will either destroy him or devour him. And they will
destroy all of his work. Let white men from anywhere in the world, who
would come to Africa, remember that you must continually retain this
status; you the master and they the inferior like children that you would
help or teach. Never fraternize with them as equals. Never accept them as
your social equals or they will devour you. They will destroy you."

Albert Schweitzer renowned Philosopher

I think Trump would agree with Schweitzer, how bout you?

South Africa or Zimbabwe since the whites lost power... not exactly going upwards are they? Land redistribution and "affirmative action" based on race.

Thats what happens (in the case of SA) when you put a militant marxist terrorist in charge and award him a peace prize. Hmm who does he remind you of? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
