What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

[mercury14]

AJ - what percentage does the market have to drop and in what segment of time for it to be called a "collapse" to you? Go on record please - no more squirrely crap.

*glum look*

Yes I know I'm wasting my time with this question.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Yes I could sell several different stocks and mutual funds right now and make a ton of money, even with last week's dip. You're really clueless as to how long-term investing works, aren't you?

Perhaps he labors under the same misconceptions as the Vettebigot, who explained to us last week that investing in a company's stock was equivalent to giving a company a loan, with your purchase price guaranteed never to go down and a guaranteed rate of return. Stocks...bonds..loans....they're all the same when you get right down to it! Derp!

You guys are funny, the way you are spoofing about the stock market being an indicator of the health of the economy. A bunch of kidders, you are.

 

[richard_daily]

it's all good right?

You said the stock market wasn't the economy... remember?

From the 1880's on, Germany was a Socialist Welfare state, there was no such thing as a right-wing as you know and hate it other than the monarchists. Hitler was the leader of a Socialist Party and once defeated, this proved highly embarrassing for the remaining cause of Socialism world-wide so they jumped through hoops to prove he wasn't a Socialist, but most of the vehicles they used were specious and fallacious.

He took money from big business!

THEY ALL DO.

It's called protection money. Again, I direct you to his 25 points.

The problem with Socialism is that it is a polity of emotion and altruism and each and every Socialist holds a unique view on what exactly are things such as human rights, equality and fairness and eventually finds that to create a Socialist consensus, that they have to accept some differing precepts that they assume will change once they have taken the power of government. Alas, this state never materializes and as Hayek brilliantly points out, this mechanism of consensus, as power is gathered, leads to a strong man f or having once tasted power, people are terrified of making a decision that might awkwardly put them outside of the consensus until that one guy comes around who not only wants the heat of making the decisions, but desires it above all else.

In short, I know that thread, I know the arguments, and they prove nothing but they make the proto-Socialist feel better about what will happen this time, when his special little niche of Socialist thought finally comes to the fore.

The answer was no; it [that their drug use was currently considered an illegal act by their own 'democratic' government] didn't bother them. It doesn't really bother anyone who accepts mob rule as a desirable form of social organization. The reason is that democrats never regard existing democracy as their preferred political system — they regard it only as a transitory state to a democratic utopia in which the elected leaders will agree totally with their own values and social-political views. Mises has observed that "the critics of the capitalistic order always seem to believe that the socialistic system of their dreams will do precisely what they think correct." Hence, when people talk about the importance of democracy, it is never democracy as it has ever actually functioned, with the politicians that have actually been elected, and the policies that have actually been implemented. It is always democracy as people imagine it will operate once they succeed in electing "the right people" — by which they mean, people who agree almost completely with their own views, and who are consistent and incorruptible in their implementation of the resulting policies. This is what allows an intelligent group of people to espouse mob rule as a desirable principle, even as they simultaneously commit acts that brand them as criminals worthy of imprisonment under the very social system they maintain.

You’re one funny guy, intentional or not.

First you write this…….

They jailed Socialists not of their Party as to eliminate competition, but they were certainly not the right wing.
A_J, the Stupid

Which any 13 year old history student would instantly know was absolutely wrong and then seamlessly change tack and wish us to believe your other, unsupported, and factually incorrect proclamations.

The “night of the long knives” was one of the most significant and well known (even by 13 year olds), chapters of Hitler’s rise to total power. One in which political opponents from the socialist elements OF HIS OWN PARTY as well traditional conservatives and other socialists were summarily murdered and many more imprisioned.

Woof!

 

[Bad_Doggie]

The evidence is clear to see in Hitler's 25 points which I am going to assume that you did not bother to even read. The Left has told itself so many times that Hitler was a right-winger that it has become fact, but it is fiction.

I’m not going to assume anything and particularly not what your right wing blogs tell YOU is true.

Which 25 point plan of Hitler’s are you referring to?

The one that was written before Hitler became party leader in 1921?

You mean Rudolf Jung’s 25 point plan that was later adapted by Drexler, Hitler et al?

The one that he publicly proclaimed in1920 as party policy.

The one that was later adapted to the 39 point plan?

The one where amongst many things they advocated democratic institutions (i.e. the German central parliament) and voting rights solely for Germans?

You know, you once said to me……..

And you have an education system so inept that people, especially students, would believe and hold a politician to a promise on the campaign trail...

"But they were PROMISED!"

.... by politicians.

lol
A_J, the Stupid

Tell us how their advocacy of democratic institutions, economic reform, pro-labour legislation is in any way consistent with the totalitarian state Germany became?

Tell us how many of these points were put into practice?

Tell us why after 1925 Hitler refused to publicly support it and in Mein Kampf, Hitler only mentions it as “the so-called program of the movement” ?

But, then I’m guessing you believe that he abided by the Munich Peace Agreement don’tcha?

I which case how did Poland happen then?

Woof!

 

[Bad_Doggie]

As for Books, not Blogs, I listed the four authors whose books go into great detail on this subject.

Sure, Hayek and Mises.

Renowned historians all.

<chuckle>

Woof!
