Can we have a civil, thoughtful discussion on this?

Your comments are even more low powered than usual. Extra Weetabix tomorrow I reckon. The US did not make socialism illegal. The US did not make liberalism illegal. The US does not say liberalism=socialism=fascism. The US may have a lot of right wing nutters, but even those nutters can understand basic political economy

 

sure it did we have a Constitution that limits govt to a few carefully enumerated powers and none of them are remotely socialistic. Welcome to your first lesson in American History

 

Socialism includes limited government forms. You merely inform me that you don't understand it. Of course your whole comment was both childish and rant driven.

 

Good !!!so govt owns the industries but is more limited than if it didn't own them!!!

 

You're not making sense again. Socialism encompasses anarchist and market varieties.

 

obviously we are not talking about minor definitions of the word

 

I'm referring to the variety of socialist approaches, confirming of course that you don't understand it's nature.

 

You know that it is a fact.

None of my statements have. You have simply denied indisputable facts and essayed false and unsupported claims.

 

But we have established it is a lie.

Every one of them has.

Nope. I correctly pointed out Georgist bullshit is just that. Bullshit. And has no basis in reality.

 

I'm not, but I understand your need to prevaricate on the matter: you need an excuse to dismiss facts you cannot refute.

 

Sometimes you do pretend that neoclassical economics is a radical alternative. I have noticed that too!

 

No, we have proved it is true.

No, that's just more absurd $#!+ you have made up. You have provided no facts, no logic, no economics, no arguments of any kind. Just false and ridiculous claims.

No, you only made a false and unsupported claim that it is.

The Law of Rent and the Henry George Theorem are both very real, thank you.

 

It's radically wrong, if that's what you mean.

 

Weird that you keep referring to it then...

 

Copernican cosmology was also radically wrong, but at least much better than Ptolemaic cosmology. And Keplerian cosmology was a big advance on Copernicus, though still radically wrong. It's possible for a theory to get some things right and others radically wrong. Only stupid, evil, anti-scientific liars claim that accepting the right parts of a theory and rejecting the wrong ones is somehow inconsistent or unscientific.

 

I don't expect you to say "I'm a Georgist, but I mention neoclassicalism as its the only modern economics that I know". Nope, don't expect that!

 

But we have established it is a lie

yes

yes

and bullshit with no basis in reality.

 

No, that is just you denying facts of objective physical reality that you cannot dispute.

You have not provided a single fact or argument to support any of your claims, just denied the facts because you have already realized that they prove your beliefs are false and evil.

<yawn> No.

<yawn> Baldly false. They are both well established and widely accepted by people who, unlike you, actually know something of the subject.

 

Yes.

.
Yes

Objectively true.

They are crackpot nonsense dismissed by everyone, but Georgists.

 

Thank you for confirming that you know nothing whatever of the subject.

 

I know infinitely more than you do. It’s why I keep showing you why you are wrong, and georgism is bullshit.

 

No, you have not shown anything. Readers are fully aware that you have provided no facts, no logic, no economics, no arguments of any kind, just your bald, unsupported denials and spew of disingenuous, illiterate filth. By such behavior, you choose to heap disgrace upon yourself. No surprises there. It is normal for those who hate liberty, justice and truth to behave despicably.

 

You know this is a demonstrated falsehood.

 

You're doing a lot of Georgism defending for a non-Georgist! You're being very emotional over someone daring to criticise the relevance of Georgism...

 

If someone lies about Christians or Marxists, I defend them, too. Doesn't mean I'm a Christian or a Marxist.

Interesting that you would take the side of someone behaving so despicably. He hasn't offered any criticism, just bloviation, name-calling, and unsupported denials of indisputable facts.
