Adam Smith was a Marxist

[bripat9643]

Smith was not a socialist, nor was he a ardent supporter of crony capitalism, just believed in the open and unobstructed free market forces, devoid of government, monarchical, political, and social constraints. His views were economic by nature not social nor did he subscribe to redistribution as Marx, or lets say punishing those that worked for the benefit of those that did not. He was also a fan of Darwinism, which is probably why the Humanist finds his papers so interesting. Read the Decent of Man for a taste.

Knowledge is the greatest impediment to the acceptance of Socialism.

The plan of the left is to pervert and corrupt knowledge in hopes of reinventing Socialism in a more attractive light. Distorting what Adam Smith wrote is one of many attempts to rewrite history. Notice that the forum Communists have tried (and failed) to re imagine Ronald Reagan as an earlier version of Barack Obama. Lies, distortion, and half-truth are the tools of the left. Fact is the counter which destroys them every time.

So Socialist nations are just stupid eh? I'll inform Sweden, and so many other European nations, all with higher standards of living than the US.

Sweden doesn't have a higher standard of living than the U.S., and it's a misnomer to call Sweden "socialist." It's only slightly more socialist than the U.S.

Dogma...

Fact on a Communist is like salt on a slug; you react violently.

In every market economy in the world - starvation is at best a myth. Not so the centrally planned economies you promote. Death by starvation remains a constant fact of life in nearly all Communist nations, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Cuba, North Korea, Burma. The third world Socialist nations are not much better. Nigeria, Cameroon, Liberia, Venezuela, et al.

What you Communists seek is to punish those whom your envy drives you to hate - and you're more than willing to slaughter hundreds of millions to get your revenge.

Neither. You pay a fair and living wage to those at the bottom.

Yet what you of the left deliver is a starving wage for those in the middle - as long as the middle suffers - then you are happy. You wage eternal war on the Bourgeoisie, the middle class.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Why are the richest one percent of Americans richer today than they were twenty years ago?

Why are the poorist 1% of Americans richer today than they were twenty years ago?

Why do you yearn to make them poorer to exact your hatred on those you burn with jealousy against?

Why shouldn't they pay taxes on their disposable income instead of gambling in Wall Street's casino?

How many times would you tax the same dollar, Comrade? Should the net worth of each be taxed each year?

I start with $100, you take half to feed the greed of government unions. Now I have $50 - next year you take half to feed the greed of government unions, now I have $25

Is this what you propose, Comrade?

I don't promote a Planned Economy, and never have. I promote a Mixed Economy, and have for decades. And I understand how spreading the wealth creates more wealth and that while capitalism is a great little engine you don't let the engine drive the car. If you weren't so full of yourself you would have known that but you are so insane about anyone who sounds even remotely Marxist that I created this thread just to show how people like you are bonkers and have no idea what they hell they are actually talking about.

Next time, just ask.

Quality of Life Index is bullshit propaganda. It's mostly subjective. GDP in terms of PPP is an objective measure. Sweden loses by that score.

What percentage of the Swedish economy is owned by the state, you drooling moron?

Among the other lies of the left, that "Sweden is socialist" is common. Sweden has a market economy with a (declining) welfare state infrastructure.

GDP in terms of PPP has always been the measure of a nations standard of living. Only leftwing propagandists use made-up yardsticks like "Quality of Life Index." If they came out ahead in GDP, they would use it. However, the fact is that their GDP sucks.

"Quality of life" as defined by some Marxist in a University, who has never held a job outside of academia is an entirely meaningless metric.

Sweden has a per capita GDP of $43,407

The United states has a per capita GDP of $53,001 - or 17% greater than that of Sweden.

Lying is what you Communists do - facts are what defeat you.

Sweden has a Mixed Economy, and as far as you little morons are concerned, with tax rates as high as 50%, is Socialist.

You lied about Adam Smith, and I tore you apart by posting actual fact. You lied about the living standard of Sweden. Just where is this "fact" you allude to?

The U.S. was a lot higher on the list before Lord Obama ascended the throne.

Sweden has about the same ratio of private versus government ownership as does the USA. You lied when you claimed it a "socialist country." Sweden has and continues to reduce social welfare, at a time when Obama's regime in America is dramatically increasing the welfare state (and national debt.)

Don't you grasp that 90% of the shit you read on DailyKOS is flat out lies? Haven't you learned yet that when you repeat those lies here, you will be called on them and humiliated by the facts?

The U.S. also has a mixed economy, and I probably have about 50% of my income taxed away by state and local governments. Does that make the U.S. socialist?

Nothing I said about Smith is a lie, not a thing. To you he would also be a Marxist.

Smith was okay with the rich paying more than their share, since they got more out of society, wanted no taxes on necessities but was fine with taxes on luxuries, and wanted corporations to continue to be banned. That Marxist enough for you?

It is mixed, but not mixed enough and your tax bill is nothing like 50%, not even close.
