Hi, [email protected]:
Just when we're told "The End of the World Has Come", we're told "The
Class War Has Begun".
The disastrous end is always coming. The content is perpetually changing,
but the agent is almost always people acting in freedom. I've been seeing
the B.S. predictions in history since at least the early 1800s, when the
railroads were going to kill all the cattle and horses ... then it was that
oil was going to run out in the 1850s ... then coal and wood in the 1910s
... global cooling in the 1970s ... and don’t forget how we were all going
to be smashed into poverty and have nothing, per Marx ... now it's that we
consume too much and have too much material abundance. The words change but
the tune remains the same.
It does no good to go to Wall St. & say the system is not working.
Advocates of economic liberty have been pointing out that the system is
heading for trouble for decades. None of this is news to those of us of a
classical liberal persuasion. The main problem has nothing to do with Wall
Street or Obama or Bush or FDR or *any person* - it's the nature of the
system itself, and it began in earnest with the founding of the Federal
Reserve system. After that, it was a matter of time. FDR and LBJ certainly
helped make it happen sooner, but the Congresses of the time deserve the
blame for approving their awful schemes. Repubs aided and abetted it.
Each person is responsible for finding or establishing an economic system
that suits them, without denying others that same right.
Under liberty, people are free to found collectivist communes and either
operate autarchically or trade externally. Non-free economic systems don't
permit that same freedom. How undiverse of them!
