    You do a lot of Georgism defending though, don't you?

    Please don't get emotional just because I refer to your reaction to those criticising the relevance of Georgism...

    Well, you have shown a few things, true: unsavory things about yourself, for example. Just not anything you claim to have shown.

    Given that I defend Christianity when people lie about it, and Marxism when people lie about it, can you guess why I might do a lot of Georgism defending?
    Telling absurd lies about something is not criticizing it, sorry.

    I've only seen you defend Georgism while saying you're not Georgist. I'm sure, mind you, your Marxist defence is dead impressive.

    They aren't absurd lies though are they? They just aren't convenient for your one dimensional approach. You're the monist, making the orthodox look open to thought.

    No, that's another bald falsehood from you.
    People don't feel they have to lie about Marxists as often as they have to lie about Georgists.
    They most certainly are.
    <yawn> More (surprise!) false and stupid garbage from you.

    You couldn't even pretend economic comment in these one liners. That's a shame!

    There was even less economic comment in the sewer muck I was responding to.

    I don't see any economics in your comments. Its a shame that you're so insistent on Georgism 101.

    No, that's objectively false. You see economics, but then falsely and disingenuously claim not to.
    It's a shame you can't make any sort of contribution.

    Nope. I honestly mention "I don't see any economics in your comments"

    I'm merely replying to a Georgist. That limits me somewhat.

    Nope.
    Falsely calling people Georgists when they aren't is what REALLY limits you. Or maybe it's your limitations that make you do it. I don't know.

    What is more absurd in the end, market socialist Nazis statism or Geoist Nazi statism?

    Yes, it's a moot point which of your absurd word salad concoctions is most absurd.

    market socialist statism, Nazis statism, and Geoist Nazi statism were made illegal by our genius Founders.

    I've already answered you dear chap. Your ranting is easily predicted. You might want to add some content to your arguments, just to confuse folk!
