Too easy the bolded statement pretty much explains how little he knows about the subject. Human behavior doesn't structure itself around the demands of the marketplace. The marketplace structures itself around the demands of human behavior.

Agreed. I could easily rebut it by rewording the bolded text as so:

QuoteThere is nothing in 5,000 years of political history to justify the belief that human societies should structure their behavior around the demands of the government. This is an absurd, utopian ideology. The airy promises of the state have, by now, all been exposed as lies.

Or I could quote the quotable Rothbard:

QuoteThe State! Always and ever the government and its rulers and operators have been considered above the general moral law...Service to the State is supposed to excuse all actions that would be considered immoral or criminal if committed by "private"citizens...For centuries, the state  (or more strictly, individuals acting in their roles as "members of the government") has cloaked its criminal activity in high-sounding rhetoric. For centuries the State has committed mass murder and called it "war "; then ennobled the mass slaughter that "war" involves. For centuries the State has enslaved people into its armed battalions and called it "conscription" in the "national service. " For centuries the State has robbed people at bayonet point and called it "taxation." In fact, if you wish to know how libertarians regard the State and any of its acts, simply think of the State as a criminal band, and all of the libertarian attitudes will logically fall into place

So, Judas' pointing out that selling the perfume could help more people is coveting wealth?

anything that shit-stain says deserves to be on this thread.

In the first one they use the term "LibCon" conflating libertarianism and conservatism. In  fact sounds a lot like newspeak. by removing the seperation between the concepts in their language Along the lines of "joycamp" which were forced labour camps set up by The Party in order to force people to associate thenotion wiht "joy" or "miniluv" making the notion of "love" inserpable formt hat of force3d indoctrination and torture. Or even the "minipax" which sums up "war is peace" quite nicely.

By the same website that listed War as a GOOD government invention.

You're kidding, right?

Actually, I am probably just wrong, because I can't find it on their site. I think I saw it on a different site that had a very smiliar desighn to this one, so I just asssumed it was the same.

DailyKos was all gung-ho on the Iraq War initially and only went against it later when the Democrats turned against it. When they did that, they deleted all of their older articles in praise of it. Yeah, the Orwell comparison tracks pretty well.

I know it was a website that had a very similar color scheme and design as this one and it had a list of 100 government inventions. All of them were supposed to be positive, of course. It included things like bridges, the internets, etc. The typical stuff people say. But then I remember very clearly that it included War in there. I saw it a few months ago, so if they deleted it, it wasn't from then.

Probably just a different website that I can't find right now. Darn.

EDIT:

FOUND IT! It IS from DailyKos, but it's actually called "75 Ways Socialism Has Improved America" and it blows:

Quote11. War - That's right! War would not be possible without socialism. Your tax dollars are used to fight wars for your country. This is Big Government at it's biggest. Private companies don't attack other countries, at least not yet. Government is the only entity in America that can defend us from foreign enemies and our tax dollars are used for every second of it. Socialism has brought down Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, and Bin Laden. War may very well be the most socialist thing on this list.
