Yeah, 'Things will be better and more equal if you put me in power' is a message that always resonates with the population. That usually ends up causing all the things you're against.
You literally know nothing about Chomsky. He's never said "put me in power". He has said "don't put me in power". He advocates for public control rather than one figure at the top who decides things. He's specifically stated that he doesn't like the word "leader" and prefers "representative", because that more clearly describes the role someone should have in a system of representation. He's been asked to run for president and he's said "no, I don't believe in that kind of system of leadership".

You literally know nothing about the things you're talking about.

Most of them aren't even the evil billionaire oppressors you hate (but buy macbooks from).


When have I ever said I don't like billionaires?

Or that I have a macbook?

That's some fine supposition!

PS:

Believing that wealth should be more equally distributed does not make you a FULL BLOWN COMMUNIST!

It makes you a decent person.

You literally have no idea what the word means. You've probably never read John Locke or Adam Smith or any of the other Enlightenment figures. The word has been morphed into its exact opposite, and Ron Paul is an exemplification. Today it means being an advocate for complete tyranny, which favors completely handing over the reins to private power,


Adam Smith is classical economics and an early proponent of free-markets. He disliked interventions by the state. You can't be into that and marxism at the same time, unless you're insane.


Ron paul is a minarchist. Not as good as an anarchist, but better than a warmonger.

which is even worse than state power because at least that's still somewhat accountable to the public. That has nothing to do with what the term originally meant, and still means everywhere else in the world except the US and a good part of the West.


Haha, well, no, that is never the case. Do you think China is in any better shape than Hong Kong because it's state has much more power?

Good to know you've never read Adam Smith, either, because you've missed the point of his famous Wealth of Nations completely.

Thanks for clarifying. I didn't even have to google him. See how "not knowing about the things you're talking about" was a good tactic on my part?

"By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it"

Does that sound like something I have posted as a response to Jeff's post, at all?

ALso fix the bbcode, you statist scum

That's like the 10th time you've launched an insult my way, you obviously have a hard time behaving on this forum so why don't you go visit some other sites for a week? Or until you send an apology my way. I'm not hard to find.

Well yes, I have regular pay checks and I pay taxes in order to support those who earn less. In turn I am subsidised for government services.

That's hardly communism. It's called "having a society" man.

Libtard has been banned. I just confirmed that he's actually Inri, who we banned not too long ago. :)

WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED?

Apparently Inri really loves being on Salt World to spew his nonsense, so my guess is he's going to come back and register another account just to stir up trouble. If anyone sees him, let me know. I'm usually on IRC, and I check my forum PMs frequently.

lol u got troll'd.

then again inri is a self-admittedly pathetic guy with a miserable life and bad at everything. I hope one day he really does just get horribly depressed again and kill himself because he's a grade-A pile of shit.

That's actually a really horrible thing to post barack. Like it upset me to read it. Inri is probably going to take it harder heh.

Well not really trolled in the "he was just joking" sense, he actually believes all of this stuff!

Mostly I'm just stupid for not doing a better IP check to begin with.

how do you know it was inri? that's not how he writes at all, even if the opinions are a little similar. I'm not saying I think it's dom but that's exactly how dom wrote. if it was inri that's pretty weird
