Wow, you two are bitter as lemons.

Sounds like quite a worthy way to spend tax money in my opinion, stopping people being made homeless, taking some stress off already struggling families.

I don't really see what the problem is...

The problem is that we are giving tax payer funds to a radical left wing political org with a history of voter fraud. I do not want my money spent that way whatever the rationalization. The acorn people are thugs.

Regardless of their ideology, which is liberal at worst, and no where near radical. To me the problem is that these organizations place themselves between money and people who need it, and help themselves first and then whatever's leftover goes to the people with the problem.

You mean their acting like a government bureaucracy?

 

[ResistanceIsFertile]

Exactly. If you're a radical, be a radical, not a bureaucrat.

There's a bit of graffiti from the Paris uprising of May 1968 that said "Humanity will not be free until the last capitalist is hung with the guts of the last bureaucrat" that most everybody agrees with at least half of.

Capitalism is the expression of Freedom. With out Freedom there'd be no capitalist system. Capitalism relies upon the voluntary exchange between two parties for a good or a service. The key is voluntary exchange.

Me, personally, I think the best society would be an anarcho-capitalist society. The interesting thing about societies is that they tend to adopt their own rules, laws and standards of behavior and enforce them ruthlessly so I don't see crime being a problem.

Economically, I like Proudhon's mutualist banking and Benjamin Tucker's "anarchism of the small shopkeeper", but anarcho-capitalism beats the hell out the global-Leninist-NEP-state capitalism.

Interventionist Government, yeah, Laissez faire typically favors small flexible organizations that don't grow too big.

Scale of Economy only works up to a point.

You ever read, the Hostile Take Over Trilogy? (I think it was by something Swann.)

No, but I think I might, looks interesting.

Getting the State out of the equation promises to be messy.
What passes for the 21st century economy, as decentralized as it is, but not as decentralized as it should be, seems to ripe for reorganization as hubs and spokes, especially with kind of communications technology we posses.
But I'm a starry-dreamer, even at age 35.

Nothing wrong with that, idealism and optimism are inherent traits in people that have a desire for freedom.

Or, I want to say it was Thomas Edison who said it, "Show me a thoroughly content man, and I'll show you a failure."

Or better yet, Franklin, "There are three types of people in the world, those that are immovable, those that are movable and those that move."

I just say "You know, the ADD, I just can't think right now"

I'm disabled and it's cold where I live, so I'm usually pretty glad to see her when she's done working, having only right-wing radio and a runt pit bull mix for company. I think ( and you may have gathered from my posts) it's worse for her when I start babbling.

HaHaHa ... No way, man ... I'm enjoying the hell out of your posts. Very well written and thought out.

All of the internecine bickering, theoretical hair splitiing, and other word games that anarchists of different tendencies engage in can make for decent message board fodder.

I think it's more a matter of having a rational world view that fits the visible data as opposed to a theoretical model that will never work (communism) or an idealized version of the past (Republicans, esp. Reagan Republicans.)

I was listening to Mike McConnell up here, and he was saying that Reagan's accomplishment wasn't so much that he reduced government, but that he restored America's confidence in herself. That is, he restored the confidence of the people in their ability to make a better and brighter future for themselves.

Of course, there are those, who I will not point fingers at, that take evolution to mean that people are no better than animals and must be fed, watered and treated as such. Instead of being treated like the only rational, intelligent, sentient species on the planet.

Ha ha, good one, as if any of us are going to believe a bearly litterate ape like you could run a business.

Actually ASSHOLE I don't live in your shitty country, MY country already has housing benefits, free healthcare, etc.

And furthermore....I PAY TAXES....(you presumptuous dickweed)....and I AM HAPPY TO PAY TAXES and CONTRIBUTE to SOCIETY (I have never received any benefits, shit I didn't even apply for funds while studying which I would have been more than entitled to).

Just goes to show that even though your wealth is FICTIONAL..... you're still a greedy selfish scumbag.

lol, you looser.
