    I wonder how many times you use this stock response. Be an individual, use diverse vocab!

    its a stock subject( capitalism v socialism) so don't ask for stock reply. Predict ahead unless you are afraid to get to essence of debate? Take a breath and tell us why you are an anti American statist

    It isn't actually. Most folk on here aren't socialist. And you neither understand capitalism or socialism.

    I'm neither anti American or a statist. You seem confused.

    <yawn> You make a lot of claims about what you have "demonstrated," but never actually demonstrate anything, or even give a quote or link where it is demonstrated. Makes one wonder:



    By contrast, I have demonstrated with indisputable facts and irrefutable logic that every substantive claim you have made is objectively false.

    I disagree with that. While the terms capitalism and socialism dominate many of the threads, the root of all disagreements appear to be based upon the achievements of individuals. That said, individualism vs collectivism would be a better choice of words to identify the differences we constantly argue over.

    Repeating false accusations isn't going to work.

    you are supposed to debate here, not leave goofy messages that other party is wrong when you cant present a reason for them being wrong. Do you understand?

    But I've shown why he's wrong.

    I'll never understand the fevered imaginings of the conservative "brain".

    No, you are aware that you have shown nothing, merely claimed.
    Same.

    It seems I neglected to demolish and humiliate a purveyor of stupid, evil garbage:
    False and absurd. The oceans, the earth, the sun, are all physical things that cannot be owned.
    Nope. You can own your body all you want, but if others -- privilege owners like landowners -- own your rights to liberty, you are not free.
    Or if they own your right to liberty, as landowners do.
    No, because you have to pay the owners of your right to liberty -- landowners -- the fruits of your labor just for permission to labor. No permission, no fruits. GET IT??
    Or you would, if landowners did not already own your right to liberty.

    lol, the founders were radical liberals. And I've already embarrassed you for your claims of Obama being a communist.

    no, as that doesn't line up with reality.
