Not true. Fuel is in demand because of home heating in some areas.

Socialism, in my view, is an abuse of democracy. It replaces a few dozen powerful corporations, ultimately guided by their consumers' interests (which might be varied and diverse), with one powerful corporation, responsive only to majority rule.

In my view, democracy is a really horrible way to make social or economic decisions. And should only be used when conformity to one decision is vital. Usually such conformity isn't required, or even desirable. Usually, letting people make their own decisions, guided by self-interest and personal values, results in an aggregate "decision" that everyone can live with.

A libertarian state is a myth.

You're so transparent. You didn't like my criticism of socialism, but you didn't have an intelligent response. So you opted for tolling. Same old, same old.

Dude, you described libertarianism as the best model for government. Why is it it's never practiced anywhere today.

I didn't even bring up libertarianism. You did. As a distraction. Because you couldn't refute my criticism of socialism.

Dude, you didn't even describe socialism correctly. You may want to actually know what it is first. You described communism or some authoritarian form of government.

Then you shot your load on this.

"Usually, letting people make their own decisions, guided by self-interest and personal values, results in a solution that everyone can live with and is stable, if diverse."

So...

Dude, you didn't even ...

Could you translate that into English, please?

There's always a choice. Never a good reason to vote for a bad candidate on purpose. That ill-logic is killing us. It's the reason why our parties nominate worse and worse candidates every cycle.
