FOR EXAMPLE: you don't think corporations bomb anyone?

Just curious... what do you mean by corporations bombing someone?

Under the guise of the War on Terror, the US conducted warfare in several Middle East countries.

So, you don't mean corporations - GE, GM, HP, Sony, Ford, etc - bombed someone, you mean the US and allied governments.
Do you have an example of GE, GM, HP, Sony, Ford, etc bombing someone?

No, of course they do it through their proxies these days but if that convenience didn't exist, I'm sure they'd either contract it out to the capitalistic scumbags at Blackwater or take it on themselves.

LOL.
Tin foil a little tight on your head?
You've got absolutely positively stinking nothing but hysterics and unfounded claims.

Tell me why you think they wouldn't.

Im not debating a nut job. Sorry.

Don't take it personally. I generally have a lot of respect for members of the military. It's when they cross the line into mercenary that the respect flies out the window.

Dude, if there's a nut job here, it's you. I'm just indulging you.

You see no collusion whatsoever. Just a gigantic coincidence that the most hotly contested region on Earth has a bunch of oil. Yeah, ok, that makes sense. Nevermind.

Proxies like... the US and allied governments?

Makes more sense than most of the shit you spout.

If this is too big for you to contemplate, maybe we could take some baby steps. Blackwater. Example of capitalism? Good thing for the world?

It depends on what you mean by "BLackwater." Do you mean the idea that there are private military contractors? Do you mean the idea that some employees of some contractors do bad things?
See, this is the problem.

 

[kaz]

Why is that?

I'm not sure if there's an aspect to it that doesn't revolve around capitalism. There's the need to keep oil flowing and of course there are all of the defense contractors to look out for.

Rabbi is right, you don't know what capitalism is.

So Skippy, the Middle East is a government operation. Right there you left capitalism behind.

This is what I find amusing. Capitalism is the best thing since sliced bread - there's nothing it can't fix or improve. It's just that it's nowhere to be found. Certainly not in all the dirty, money making endeavors that we see in the modern world. Ok, you can go back to your fantasy now.

Capitalism is just economic freedom. To say there is nothing "capitalism" can't fix or improve is just stupid. It makes no sense. In capitalism, suppliers, customers, employers, employees, everyone is free to make their own decisions.

Yes, and the larger the corporation, the more freedom they have to make their own decisions. Even if that includes bombing the shit out of anyone who gets in their way.

Crony capitalism is a form of socialism, it has nothing to do with capitalism. Socialism is centralized economic decision making. Capitalism is distributed economic decision making. You don't know what you are talking about.

 

[kaz]

I dont recall you ever pointing out a failure of capitalism.

See what I mean. Why don't you and Kaz find a cozy room and you can discuss the wonders of capitalism over a bottle of Courvoisier.

So you got nothing, huh. Figured.

You two really are of one mind aren't you.

He's a conservative who calls me a liberal, but I'm actually a libertarian. He's for the wars in the middle east, I'm against them. So no, we aren't of one mind. We just both realize you are wrong and don't know what you are talking about. It doesn't take much to see that.

 

[kaz]

That was incoherent even for you

Every time I point out a failure of capitalism, you say 'that's not capitalism'. Ok, where does capitalism actually exist in your mind?

I dont recall you ever pointing out a failure of capitalism.

See what I mean. Why don't you and Kaz find a cozy room and you can discuss the wonders of capitalism over a bottle of Courvoisier.

Typical cop out. You've never pointed out a failure of capitalism.

Apparently because nothing bad qualifies as capitalism in your mind. It would be like pointing out a failure in God. If it's a failure, it can't be God.

How do you know that since so far you have not only not shown a failure of capitalism but you haven't even accurately grasped what it is?

I like to think we agree more than we disagree and can still respect each other.
Joe, OTOH, feh.

Crony capitalism can also happen within a corporation or between one corporation and another. Same mechanisms apply.

HE thinks government action shows a failure of capitalism. OR something. I honestly dont know what he thinks other than they're out to get him.

That's not crony capitalism.

See, this is the problem.

The whole concept of a paramilitary 'company' is wrong. There's no honor or any of the restraint of standard military discipline. But I'm not surprised that you defend them.
