Why Do Elections Favor Socialists Over Libertarians?

[jon4liberty]

Freedom and Liberty is not popular...especially with the continents of South America and Africa

 

[Origanalist]

Look at how they vote. Your little utopia of let them read Mises, Friedman etc they will be free market capitalist and Baltimore will be a paradise HAHAHAHA this is why I couldn't take LP members seriously and stopped working their campaigns

I think you're confusing him with someone else, I could be wrong but I highly doubt he's ever been a member of the LP or is a fan of the free market.

PRB, so you are just a Socialist Troll?

How many other sites are you assigned to?

no need to blame immigrants, half of Americans make less than $35,000. being poor is pretty normal now.

Economics isn't your strong suit. Adding millions of workers to the labor pool keeps wages down, duh.

you say it as if wages haven't gone down before and without new competition from immigrants.

here's just a few other ways wages go down (or can't keep up with cost of living)
1. increase in population without immigrants
2. automation
3. perpetual inequality (rich get richer leaving the poor with less over time)

Don't take responsibility? Stick that straight up your ass. The only possible way they could would be to homeschool. The social engineers have made that pretty tough. Thankfully many are doing it anyway.

1. Birth rates have plummeted...
2. Automation is a serious concern in the future
3. The rich aren't taking the hours. They are running their own businesses providing jobs. Unless you are a fortune 500 corporation then it is stock buybacks in today's system

Like I said, economics isn't your strong point. Economically speaking, wealth inequality is a meaningless gauge. It's a political theory, not an economic theory.

Both of your other ''points'' actually provide evidence for the theory I presented.

 

[Superfluous Man]

Lower cost of labor is a good thing, right?

 

[Swordsmyth]

Lower cost of labor is a good thing, right?

No.

It is not necessarily.

I'm sure a lot of things are not meaningful in economic theory, after all, economics only looks like economics. so yeah, I'm not an economist

What theory you presented?

 

[PRB]

No.

It is not necessarily.

you got this one right.

is cheap labor a good or bad thing?

Depends who you ask.

As with anything, if you're a buyer of labor you want it cheap. If you're a seller of labor (aka working class, proletariat), you want it expensive.

birth rates dropping should be a good thing
why is automation a serious concern unless you're a loser who can't outsmart computers and machines?
why is providing jobs a virtue? providing jobs is just a slower way of making the job creator richer.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Because an idle rabble without jobs eventually turns out in the streets as a Bolshevik mob and slits your throat and takes your shit.

 

[PRB]

Because an idle rabble without jobs eventually turns out in the streets as a Bolshevik mob and slits your throat and takes your $#@!.

that's like saying a person who doesn't pay his taxes will go to prison.

yeah, but why is that the only reality we should keep embracing?
