2046 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 These are just some very old books that claim some very strange things, like taxes are "legal plunder" and welfare is immoral.

khaight Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 We are so much smarter now. Those are just old ideas. And yet these people have no trouble with Karl Marx. Um, isn't he one of those dead white males we're supposed to be shoving down the memory hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2046 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 And here is the follow up piece in the New York Observer warning of the impending "Austrian craze" which of course is responsible for a guy's house burning down: The Ideologies Behind the Ideologues http://www.observer.com/2010/opinion/ideologies-behind-ideologues Why should European ideologies of the far right suddenly become fashionable among citizens who so blithely accuse the White House of importing "socialist" policies from abroad?

We must be xenophobes who object to the person who thought up the ideas, rather than the contents of the ideas themselves. These people are so stunted by pragmatism that they have no choice but to reduce everything to character and personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
