Sometimes I post comments on YouTube when I’m bored and I started to post back and forth with some idiot war monger tonight. Anyway, the guy thinks that Reagan defeat the Soviets by spending money on weapons faster than they could. I simply said the Soviets failed because economic calculation was impossible.
Punch line of the joke: He asked me where I heard that from - “a leftist college professor?”
Just thought I’d give you all a good chuckle.
Nice. It reminds me of this blurp from an article on the debate over postal privatization in Japan I read yesterday.
Mr. Kamei: “Economics cannot be grasped through study, it must be felt in our daily lives…today’s economists lack sense, they are completely incapable.”
Of course, he is against privatization.
A wise crank once said, “it is never proper to subvert combative tendencies for inquiry.”
Lol awesome… I’ve got another joke. Once I was talking with this guy an he said the state was legitimate! (Drums) BUD AH BUM!
I was once told to not “force my economics onto others” by a socialist [^o)]
I just had someone tell me that Hitler’s quest to purge the Jews was in fact not a leftist idea at all because it meant conserving the national identity of Germany. People are so lost.
