It should be noted that the trolls who came here were not merely Socialists but nihilists. They were only ever opposed to anything and not in favour of anything. When they favoured socialism, they did not define it and did not justify it.

None of them stated there terms at all.

This thread shows the value to newbies of the Rand Razor which asks your adversary to state his or her terms. Do not get into an argument which consists of you defending capitalsim and troll attacking it. It can never end.

On behalf of Aisa, who will be unable to post for a little while as he is rather busy, I would like to add that Rand's principle that there is no honest revolt against reason is correct and, hence, at the root of any advocacy of blatantly false ideas there is a dishonesty that the advocate will evade and defend to the death.

Another point to be made is that in permitting the trolling we are offering a form of moral sanction.
