See what I mean? Circular reasoning. Someone who believes Marx's theory is "coming true" is calling me a Marxist. And we've come a long way from "cars and durable goods" to "unfettered immigration."

Interesting that they (some Freepers) agree with (what is apparently) Marx's theory that free trade, the free market and capitalism will ultimately fail, thus bringing about revolution and the rise of the proletariat. (If memory serves, and it does, Castro himself, after the fall of the dot.coms, repeated exactly that quote by Marx). It makes one wonder also if those freepers are advocates of Central Planning. The assumption is that they are.

Beyond the fact that such point of view, if truly conservative, has unsettling implications for conservative doctrines of freedom and liberty, one would think that history had done a fair job by now of invalidating Marxism.

At any rate, I now understand why F.A. Hayek, famous proponent of individual freedom and personal liberty, wrote an essay entitled "Why I am not a conservative."

Although, truthfully, it is my opinion (here I agree with Thomas Sowell) that while the term "conservative" has not yet been adequately defined, it is fairly certain that believers in Marxist doctrine are not conservative, whatever else they may be.

Well duh, I asked you numerous questions and you didn't give me the answers. you listed one set of data and failed to answer the othe questions. You just engaged in personal attacks. What do you expect?
