    Such developments will have no effect whatever on the facts that prove geoist land tenure arrangements are better than landowner privilege.

    Wanting to use resources isn't enough. They need to improve said resources right? That is the way in which atoms are turned into a product of labor isn't it? I thought that is what you said.

    What would you call a piece of land that has been stripped off all the natural resources someone could take with them?

    yes animals in effect own or control the property they live on. This is a part of the basis for natural law handed down to us through Aristotle & Jefferson. Humans merely formalize the process so property can be bought and sold peacefully according to well know and agreed upon rules which seem natural to most humans except to Nazi and Communist humans.

    unless of course the people are Americans who value freedom from libsocialist government. Always nice to take advice from a guy who killed 120 million making him the greatest killer in human history!

    I'm not a "commie" or a communist. I've said what I advocate and you are 180º away from it.

    I suppose you could say he was too stupid to know that if his thinking caught 100's of million would slowly starve to death. Do you admire HItler as much as Marx? Do you hate Jesus for being the prince of peace?

    you have pro Marx comments all over your page:


    Karl Marx said “Democracy is the road to socialism” because democracy is government of the people, by the people, for the people.

    Right. And you show you don't know Socialism from Communism from Marx. It's all the same to you. And you refuse to learn from someone who knows something about them.

    Alright Kode - How would your version of Socialism deal with the information problems presented by Hayek?

    I don't write dissertations on this forum. Got a specific question?

    I thought my question was fairly specific.

    Are you familiar with the information problems that Hayek presented as it pertains to socialism?

    I'm a retired software developer who advocates socialism, ... not an economist well versed in various capitalist defenses if capitalism. Are you referring to his theory of distribution problems under centralized planning of economies?

    Breaking the question down to a simple form - How do you condense the entirety of the knowledge possessed by the global market into a group of central planners?

    Yes - Mises economic calculation problem that was "improved" upon by Hayek.

    So how would your proposed socialism solve the economic calculation problem?
