Ben Bernanke largely undercut any philosophical debate about the isms, be it capitalism or socialism or communism.
There was a time when the debate had some measure of purity. But now Bernanke has exposed the reality that it’s all about that substance that is created from nothingness — Fiat money.
How can there be any debate about how a substance that comes effortlessly from nothing is distributed? You can just create more of it if your particular ideology of the moment isn’t creating the result that you want.
Indeed, we argue about how to keep the fiat US dollar as the world-reserve currency, and pursue one scheme after another how to place the debt behind USA's massive, permanent budget deficit
All that's doing is maintaining and growing the neo-marxist parasites within our government and country.
