    Trade has been skewed in favour of the rich north, so don't bother with that crud

    Remember that Reaver is a socialist (according to his own admission).

    In my opinion, there is nothing more dangerous than a radical social progressive with liberal "free-trade" notions.
    At least the Communists claim to want worker protections from unfair competition. But those like Reaver combine the worst of both worlds.

    Print media like The Economist and now even The Wall Street Journal have been taken over by these people.

    Not a good idea, given the economic opportunities generated through trade!

    Glad you feel like I do Reiver; survival of the fittest. The difference between you and I is when the society crumbles I will still be able to make a living, grow my own food, hunt, make my own ammunition... keep my vehicles going using home made fuel. What will you do? Beg?

    I have eaten much worse than dog. Hell I have eaten some things while they were still breathing (no I am not talking about sex); you know you are out there and you are hungry.

    Don't do much on movies I like Scooby Doo, Voltron, Blues Clues and Kipper. Watch them with my boys!

    I know one that's worse, irrational economic nationalists that fail to appreciate the gains from trade. Thankfully that hasn't been completely corrupted by democracy, yet.

    There's one of many reasons communism is irrelevant.

    Who'd have thought The Economist might use economics... I'm stymied.
