The terms "Capitalism" and "Capitalistic Production" are political catchwords. They were invented by socialists, not to extend knowledge, but to carp, to criticize, to condemn. Today, they have only to be uttered to conjure up a picture of the relentless exploitation of wage-slaves by the pitiless rich. They are scarcely ever used save to imply a disease in the body-politic. From a scientific point of view, they are so obscure and ambiguous that they have no value whatever. Their users agree only in this, that they indicate the characteristics of the modern economic system. But wherein these characteristics consist is always a matter of dispute. Their use, therefore, is entirely pernicious, and the proposal to extrude them altogether from economic terminology, and to leave them to the matadors of popular agitation, deserves serious consideration.

-Ludwig von Mises

What really needs to be debated is the "free enterprise" model; what is best for society, the ever expanding profits of the multi-national corporations or nationalist economics that focuses on the well being it's own people.

Better than what we in Atlanta got... Erick Erickson, is the replacement, who thinks the election was above board and who a couple of days ago called Sidney Powell an insane person.

If you actually look at HItler's speeches, he spoke more about about building up his nation than he did about disparaging any subset of people.

No brainwashing required. Many Germans were resentful after the outcome of The Great War and felt betrayed by their leaders. That, along with the Depression left them searching for an answer and a savior. Hitler gave a voice to what many Germans already believed and were experiencing, while offering the alternative and boosting spirits with the Deutschland uber alles nationalist pride.

His good parenting produced the sharp Sarah Huckabee, who served President Trump admirably and is now running for office to be a MAGA governor.

A large amount of persecution will be coming from corporations, and they can get away with it because it won't be violating any rights.

The fact that we even have to report on the race of each juror is evidence of the inherent flaws in a multicultural society.

I'm wondering if in Israel they allow Palestinians to sit on a jury.

It's true that they're spineless, but also true that it comes with a price. These (R) Senators will just as easily stick with McConnell, as long as it benefits them personally.

Tie breaker for appointments and judicial confirmations. They would rather get their people in than play the blame game in the media.

It would seem the plaintiff was trying to overrule a county law, so that county's practices will still stand, though the decision won't necessarily apply to other jurisdictions unless other counties adopt the restrictions.

I'm ignorant on this point: which statues were 'Nazis' tearing down?

Regular - stemming from regulated - 'reg' - derives from Regal/Royalty, the King's orders.

They want to move away from the concept of 'legality', because that has too many well know associations with breaking the law.

The Left lives, lies, and thrives with the use of euphemism.

I wonder why Communists are so scared and scream so loudly about "Nazis"?
