  • Re: Is Atheism Compatible with Capitalism.

    Acts 4:32-37 32 Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. 33 With great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. 34 There was not a needy person among

  • Re: Why the Next Crisis Will be Deflationary

    So indeed if everyone just pays their debts and nobody takes out new loans, then the money supply created by FRB will shrink. But this is not happening. nobody is repaying their debts; on the contrary, everyone is getting deeper and deeper into debt. Could you provide some evidence to back this up? From what I can find, it seems you are incorrect on

  • Re: Does Bad News Really Sell?

    You've all heard the saying, "bad news sells." But is that really true? Is this what the public demands? Or do you think bad news is a way of indoctrinating the public? That is, an excuse for tighter gun control and/or authority whenever we hear of a murder or shooting spree. If it is indoctrination then who is deciding on the doctrine

  • Re: Marx's theory on value- a contradiction?

    First of all, I would seriously recommend tackling Capital with the aid of a study guide. David Harvey's 'A Companion to Marx's Caputal' is a good one, and he has free online lectures to go with it. How would Marx explain the heterogeous price of the same commodity? The same commodity at Archies, for example, is 10 times the price of

  • Re: Fun with a friendly Communist on Reddit

    You'll both spend most of your time talking past each other, I imagine; you're speaking different languages philosophically, economically, and ideologically. I'm inclined to say you're correct (and I'm coming from a more-or-less lefty standpoint). Wheylous will need to learn how to speak Hegelonion, and the communist bloke will need

  • Re: insurance should not cover pre existing conditions

    Oh, and notice how we have been running deficits pretty much non-stop since we abandoned the policy goal of full employment. So the post-war consensus was also more sustainable for the budget.

  • Re: insurance should not cover pre existing conditions

    Without significant problem? This period is primarily characterized by the decade-long phenomena frequently referred to as "staglfation," where there was simultaneous double-digit inflation and unemployment and which ultimately lead to the end of traditional neo-Keynesian analysis (at least, theoretically speaking). In fact, the stagflation

  • Re: insurance should not cover pre existing conditions

    Seraiah. You seem to be proposing your own version of a healthcare system and then criticising it without me even having to enter the conversation. That's all very well, but I'm quite happy with keeping the NHS as it is and gradually improving elements of it if needed. I don't really know what else to say other than that, tbh.
