If in order to make your system viable you have to assume that the vast majority of people are good and decent and primarily interested in the well being of their fellow man, then you might as well assume that the vast majority of people is willing to work hard for the common good and embrace communism as a viable system.
Particularly since the greed is good morality that underlies the free market ideal is diametrically opposed to this assumption.

You just have to look at the extremely successful and cohesive Libertarian societies across time to see how they promote a superior form of civil society. Such as for example…well, I can’t think of one right now, but I’m sure there’s been thousands.
Swag for the hardcore AOC fans here:
Pretty lame, Elendil’s Heir. Pretty lame.
What? I like her. Thought some people might be interested in the stuff.
You bumped a dead thread to help someone sell extremely lame buttons.
Come on. At most, they are only somewhat lame.
One doesn’t even show a picture of the button, it shows the circle cropped jpeg they’ll paste on a button for you.
Wow, that first one is an ugly button. AOC should sue for defamation.
The last post before mine was just three weeks earlier. To paraphrase Monty Python, it wasn’t dead yet.
I was pleased to see Alexandria win election — inspiring young progressives is something America badly needs — but I didn’t perceive her as a special super-hero.
However she has been asking good questions in hearings, where many Congresscritters just prattle and waste time.
According to her, Wilbur Ross and the Trump Administration are not in compliance with federal law in their blatant and corrupt ploy to reduce California’s apportionment with the upcoming census.
Watching this despicable criminal Ross made me want to vomit. Especially annoying: Alexandria’s time expired after she asked a question, so Ross said “I have no need to answer that question,” apparently thinking the expiration of her time saved him? :eek: What contemptible insolence.
My Google news feed had a Fox headline yesterday about a new poll showing that most Americans viewed AOC negativity. I clicked on the link to see what percentage Fox considers to be “most.”
41 percent. 41 percent is “most.”
From your link.
What they mean is Real Americans.
At this point anyone who pushed the idea that she’s the left-wing equivalent of Trump has some serious egg on their faces. We keep seeing hearing after hearing where AOC asks crucial questions that make a real difference. We see her in hearings where barely anyone else shows up. She works hard and is really competent.

An idiot coworker was bubbling over with mirth because he found a shopped image of AOC blowing trump. I shut him up by asking him to look for one with trump blowing Putin.
