Liberty Nation
America wouldn't have had liberty in the first place had women & slaves been enfranchised. Socialism does indeed serve the group better, but of course, at the expense of the individual. The only reason America has been able to maintain its Liberty Nation status is because we are all gamblers here, and if the chance exists to "win," then we will vote against our own safe self-interest. However, if that chance becomes fleetingly small, and only 1% are able to enjoy the fruits of liberty then democracy will simply say, "fuck liberty."

And in my soul am free,

Enjoy such Liberty" - Richard Lovelace

Re: Liberty Nation
I used to think Socialism or some kind of wealth redistribution was the way to make everyone successful. However, I've learned that the socialism for the rich, aka crony capitalism, is what has gotten the rest of us in this mess. With true liberty, the undermenchen can enjoy the fruits of liberty as well as the fruits of our labor

The state corrupts all it touches, everywhere, every time. I wanna come have an In-N-Out double-double with you, go to the socal wine country, and talk about the animating contest of freedom.California wrote:I used to think Socialism or some kind of wealth redistribution was the way to make everyone successful.

Re: Liberty Nation
Totally universal. Every population has a distribution: you could have an IQ of 140 but if everyone else had 150 IQs, you'd be the loser.Hwen Hoshino wrote:That makes it fairly situation based instead of universal.Martin Hash wrote:If you're a loser in Scandinavia, you still live a pretty good, worry free life.Hwen Hoshino wrote: Socialism serves the group better based on what?
