Region: Libertatem
Historically, just about all governments formed from gangs, and then proceeded to enslave anyone living within their sphere of control through a system called feudalism. A government limited to protection of property is oxymoronic; the very basis for the existence of governments is founded on violation of rights to and expropriation of property. It's basically organised crime on an enormous scale to prevent smaller crimes.
There she goes again, V Ming denies that the Holodomor even happened.

(By the way, we lost Ukrainain SSR) (the Holodomor was when Stalin massacred millions of Ukrainians.)
Yay North Korean Army! Liberate them territories!
*Gets Chainsaw* So you support a Holodomor-denying communist?!
Yea.. restrictions freedoms sure is liberation.
Hey, does supporting the enemy cause count as good behavior? I'll just keep this quote handy :p
Wonder what hallo did this time.
No. I support the liberation of a territory.
It is no-longer under Hostile foreign occupation. That's freedom in a way.
Oh well....If I lose points for good behavior because I speak the truth. So be it.

hey hey hey...
Let's not.
I just went through Crucifixion in CFN....
Anyways...Pev You and those Economists on the Econstories channel have inspired me to write my own little essays...
I just need to choose a topic

Except they aren't gangs. They were institutions that originally were given enough power through society to secure god-given rights (and protect the realm). That's false.
She who fights monsters...
I'm something akin to an ancap. Your facts; straighten them, you must.
Hi Liberusolinni
Also...why you gotta be an Anarchist?
My ethical views dictate non-aggression. Also, the State is just awful.
Okay...I guess it could be worse.
You could bw Anarco-Feminist or an Egoist Anarchist.
I am an egoist, ethically. Anarchism to me is nothing but tearing down the State. I still like hierarchy and organization, it simply must be explicitly contractual.
so you are an Egoist. Okay then. I'm glad you only see it as tearing down the state, but would everything still be good if everything was done by a contracted basis like you propose? Judiciary Courts? Criminals? Scams? Environmental pollution? What happens when these problems arise?
I know what your going to say to the second part. People are going to stop giving to companies which do this and people that do this. But the fact of the matter is that this isn't always true. If this were true we Americans would be buying a lot less from Southeast Asian Countries.
Seeing as I seek sleep, I'm not going to debate this at the moment, let's talk later though.
The short answer is a legal system based on non aggression, probably common law, would handle disputes in a free society and would prevent many of the ills you speak of (often sanctioned by the State).
The sweatshops you mention need more context. You probably think you know about the alleged suffering of the workers in them, but a cursory glance at economic theory will show you that it's either their best option or there is some kind of coercion happening.
Oh Crap....sleep. I Need some of that as well.
Okay we can talk about this later.
Just a heads up, probably should have given it earlier. I'm out of town till Sunday, so communications will be spotty and phone based.
I need sleep.
Probably won't get it for another couple of hours, though...*le sigh*
Man you people and your sleep.
Rite doe
Man. I be up 3 in the morning
I can't look away from the screen
Resistance is futile.
Viva la resistance

I can't hear you over the communism
Post self-deleted by Albenia.
What Communism?
Что коммунизм?
Francophobia: Fear of France, fear of the French, Amarican Empire.
Why would anyone fear the french? What are they going to do retreat?
That
Wait what the heck?
What?
Anyways I must sleep now.
Sleep is for the french during an invasion.
The National French Armed Forces is considered by the National Defense Institute to be the third best fighting force in the world. Through commonly known history, France has been a vicious occupier in Africa, and held these colonies under military control. The flawed stereotype of inferior French military capabilities stem from the single instance of military surrender during the German occupation due to the France's inability to successfully fend the invasion. Thus, rather than attempting a futile defeat, they accepted the terms of surrender and saved thousands of lives. Perhaps the smartest military tactical success (by later standards) is regarded as the defining defeat for an entire military force that is hundreds of years old. I remind you of the French Revolution, that was vicious. If thought that the white flag was the only one, the Tricolore was the harbinger of torrents of blood. So much for French retreats.
It's 9:00 in th morning in France, they aren't asleep.
Imbécile, près d'esprit, piqûre américain
Sleep is for the weak
I want to be weak right now
Aka the french.
Or not give me a response, that's cool too.
Yes hump the french were a fine military force. The war over the number 1 spot with the British which I say ended with the defeat of Napoleon which took all of Europe to accomplish. That is a great achievement. Stereotypes are just fun.
Napoleon could have been beaten sooner if the brits did not pick on us Americans and brought all of its attention to france.
Not once have I heard the words "surrender" or "cheese". You should be ashamed, son.
So, I haven't slept at all tonight.
Sweatshops are a relatively good thing. They take workers from absolutely awful agricultural conditions where their living standards never advance and where they're often worked to death to an urban, mechanised workplace that pays much, much higher. Sweatshops are helping millions out of poverty in the Third World so that their economies can progress to the point where working conditions like that becomes undesirable and unneeded.
I haven't either.
They're also easy to abuse!
Yeay.
It's official, I have not slept in 36 hours. Now, I gotta go to work.
Poor humpy
Who are?
Lucky you. I'm still looking for a new job.
Hallo has informed me that he is permanently banned from the RMB. Lovely news.
You gotta be kidding me. Why has this happened?!

WHAT?
Apparently, he was trolling here.
What?
That's what the mods said.

Man.....You know...forget it...
Is this the part where we freak out and build a shrine La pasionaria style?
Putting my conspiracy hat on. The RLP has a spy in the mod camp and has silenced hallo voice against their tyrannical reign.
Yes.
Conspiracy accepted.
What I don't get about "economists" like Krugman is why they arbitrarily apply different economic principles to different geographical locations. He's warned that minimum wage laws in developing economies would create an "economic overclass", while he pushes for those very same regulations in America.
*puts on cape* "I....Am the Hero Of The Proletariat. *cape flip*hair flip*
No....Just no.
Hey now.
Stop. Trying to still my gimmick.
Because. Different situations call for different economic situations. If you treated every situation the same way economically it would fail the majority of the time. That's why I don't consider I fit onto any schools of thought because each school of thought can be used in different situations.
Please give me one instance in which interventionism has worked.
*Talking about the Capitalist Economic Schools of Thought.
Let's see. Interventionism eh?
....
Let's try to go with the 1800s so I can show you exactly where Interventionism was better than "Leave Alone Economics".
In the early 1800s the United States had no industry to speak of; we grew cotton and exported it to England. English mills turned the cotton into clothes and sold the clothes back to us, at a big mark-up. We shipped fur pelts to the French who turned them into hats and sold them back to us. The government then took a bold risk. Tax manufactured goods imported into the country. This allowed American Manufactures to grow big enough to compete with global economics.
Let's not fool ourselves. The decisions in industrial policy are not easy. Oil and Farm subsidies should have ended years ago. In order for economic systems to work they must be set up correctly after all. For example, the government should avoid picking favorites among companies.
I believe a vigorous competitive marketplace is the heart that pumps life through a modern economy. Meanwhile the government provides conditions in which competition can flourish. This leads to better products and services, lower prices, and good jobs. With a combination of Market and Government competition can thrive at a manageable rate and society can benefit immensely.

really Washington really. you propose an Amendment like that. I don't think the Feds should have the right to empower themselves. The People threw their State Governments should be the only group that can empower the feds.

What is it?
Sen Cruz ranting in a committee against a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow the government to restrict "unreasonable speech".
Ah yeah....that is stupid.
Oh no, Hallo can't talk! What are we going to do?
...
Eh. *goes about daily business*
I will be unavailable until Saturday night or Sunday morning. Peace brahs.
*gasps*
Someone's been listening to Pat Buchanan. Or maybe you just copied that off of usnews.com after Googling "when has intervention in the economy worked".
The American economy prospered so much during the 19th Century because of limited intervention and bountiful resources. Tariffs were designed to prioritise revenue gain over protectiveness since they were the main source of finance for the federal government. The Gilded Age, the greatest period of economic expansion in American history, was marked by a steady reduction in the average tariff from 44% in 1870 to 27% in 1890. Interestingly enough, between 1880 and 1885 the average tariff was raised from 27% to 32%, which was followed by a three-year recession, and then lowered again to 27% by 1890 as economic growth resumed. But generally speaking, I think we can explain the high rates of economic growth in the late 19th Century by looking at the unrestricted flow of immigrants into the country. Many economists believe that this largely offset the damaging effects that the tariff had on industry.
Tariffs aren't good, because they reduce the purchasing power of domestic workers. In the short-term as a result of free trade, American companies that sell at higher prices than foreign competitors may go bust or lose market share, but this means that American workers have higher net incomes, because the foreign companies that are now in the market offer lower prices, meaning that consumers spend less for certain goods and so have more disposable income. Free trade benefits everybody.
Have fun, Humphy.
Wait...I always thought it was Humpy or Humph. Never Humphy....
