(a Utopian idea, similar but not identical to the final stage of Marxist Communism in that the latter foresees the collapse of capitalistic principals wholesale; they are no longer required, whereas the former worships them).<BR/> <BR/>i understand the reasoning, however there are false assumptions..... one of which is that free-market capitalism is all about the benefits of "competition" in the market place.<BR/><BR/>free-market capitalism is, in fact, all about monopoly, not competition. and unless there is a superordinate socioeconomic power block (like a Government by-and-for-all-the-people), the socioeconomic condition would result in rule by Corporate Plutocracy.<BR/><BR/>i would argue from the benefits of Liberal ideology, not Paleoconservative/Alex Jones.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7362498922743839189&ei=3kPESO-GPIL8rAL8zeG5BQ&q=rule+the+world+" REL="nofollow">link</A>Ghost Dansinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15216056025402469120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-47152142786370590932008-09-07T09:02:00.000-06:002008-09-07T09:02:00.000-06:00Just curious, did they get their info from Alex Jo...Just curious, did they get their info from Alex Jones by any chance?
