    Mhmm. Because the British Empire didn’t repeatedly use artificial famines as a weapon, and the American-caused Great Depression and breadlines aren’t synonymous.

    Because no one starves, or is homeless, right now, in America. Because Republicans aren’t so caught up in Supply Side Jesus they literally want children to go hungry if their parents can’t afford a school lunch.

    I’ll give you this, though. Blind ideological thinking is dangerous.

    Ignoring reality, history, and science, the way you have to to pretend capitalism is a good thing, or to create Lysenkoism, just never works out.

    You either starve a million people or burn the world to death.

      Dude what is it with this style of arguing of listing off a bunch of things I never said? Like you’re creating this entire argument, all by yourself, then grandstanding like you’re making some kind of important statement.

      Step off your soap box buddy

            Can’t take the heat, don’t be a hypocrite ignoring anything convenient to your worldview and then whining when someone provides direct counter points.

            But once you do that, most people either stop being liberals or at least head over to social democracy land.
