Entry: Heil Hillary? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/heil_hillary#15493 Post contents: Unlib commented on the following: "free market” ideology has resulted in socialism for the Managerial elite (the CEO classes), and the use of military power to preserve a capitalist financial system (the FED - IMF/World Bank - Export-Import Bank) that is built on ponzi schemes.” Unlib sed: “What a crock of s***.” Sadly, you need lesson on reality versus ideology, you are lacking the reality part of that equation.. All of the reality of the entire Reagan-Gingrich “conservative” economic legacy has been to give more to those who have the most, at the expense of the middle class. For instance, using the Social Security payroll tax surpluses to fund the Reagan and Bush tax cuts. Another example is the deregulation of the banking industry, the repeal of the New Deal laws that separated the consumer and investment banking functions.--which of course created Citibank, the most profitable corporation in the United States.--and of course, all the instability in the financial markets as a result of the real estate bubble burst. Under German or Italian "fascism", there is NO state ownership of the means of production, therefore it is not "left wing"...it was all about preserving the status of the wealthy and the upper classes, but providing good jobs, decent housing and health care for everyone else, mostly to keep these countries from going communist. Which is why the left-wingers can logically conclude that fascism and imperialism are the highest stage of Capitalism. We have today’s “conservative” movement as proof. Was “free market ideology” not such? No, you have the example of Ayn Rand cultist, Alan Greenspan, the architect of the ponzi scheme that created the Social Security “crisis” and the dot-.CON and real estate bubbles. BTW, “Libertarianism” is a false ideology, born of the 60’s-70’s, the ideas of Ayn Rand about the “rights” of the managerial classes, and denigrating those “too stupid” or “lazy” to be rich and successful.. It was the mirror image of communism, in that it is atheist and paganist, enshrining materialism and consumerism, which we all know is a form of narcissism, and a sin. It is NOT “conservative” ---it is the opposite of conservative. Sent at: 2008 05 16
