An Animated Tribute to Hayek

@xtremejohnny69 Orwell became anti-soviet but, as a real democrat, he never gave up being leftist. He’d never have seen as somethig good mastery and servitude.

Mastery and servitude, even with the pretext of liberty, are anti-democratic. Hayek and his “fans” are (or were) bunches of criminals and imbecils.

@CajunCommie You were NEVER a libertarian you brainwashed LIAR.

The federal reserve takes your wages and you support them you fucking moron.

George Orwell? I thought he was a social democrat? He fought alongside Trotskyists in the spanish civil war. He would have been the last person I would have thought of arguing for a free market.

Someone Cajun was educated in Government School System no doubt!

@DerrEinzige look at your last post. You said LOL NEVERMIND

@SuperGuitarman69
THATS WHY HE RENOUNCED THE ROAD TO SERFDOM. The Road to Serfdom was from a ordoliberalist standpoint. Maybe if your read the fucking book you would know.
Go to the wikipedia page of the road to serfdom go to the part “Role of government”
Everything there he later renounced. Why? Because he came to his senses and adopted laissez faire.

@DerrEinzige Bill O’reilly? Are you kidding me? Wow how misinformed. Try watching for once instead of following the herd of liberal morons. And you didn’t read Hayek. Your last statement let me know you haven’t a clue of what you are talking about. Hayek is against Keynes. NOT against free market capitalism

@SuperGuitarman69
No fucking shit collectivism fails. Have you read the road to serfdom? Its from a highly ordoliberalism point of view. In that book he denounced laissez faire. His OTHER books are great, the Road to Serfdom did very little to promote the cause of liberty. How about reading what I fucking saw? Now go run along and suck Bill O’Reilly’s dick.

@DerrEinzige He is a Libertarian. His views on Keynes alone are some of the most well known criticisms documented. As far as Das Capital? Communism has been used. It has been tried every where. It ends in walls and guns every single time. So, if you are not brilliant enough to see that collectivism is a failed practice? Perhaps you shouldn’t comment at all.

@SuperGuitarman69
Yes I do? You know why? Because I like to educate myself on the subject before making baseless accusations! The Communist Manifesto probably was Marx’s worst book Das Capital is much more thought provoking. Just because I dont listen to neocon trash doesn’t make me a communist no matter how much Mark Levin says so… You dont believe me he says its his worst book? Watch the interviews of him in his later life! He regrets writing it he became a classical liberal later in life.

@DerrEinzige Hmmm, seems to me that someone likes Marx. You probably have Mein Kompf and Das Capital on your shelf. The communist manifesto on your night stand. And that “Communist Manifesto” is probably Marx’s worst book (he even says so himself)

@SuperGuitarman69
To bad Bech and Levin are twats. And that “The Road to Serfdom” is probably Hayek’s worst book (he even says so himself)

@CajunCommie Just because you “used to be a Libertarian” and switched to another ideology doesn’t automatically validate your views - when I graduated from college, like a lot of artists, I was a socialist or borderline communist - then I learned some credible history, economics and learned how to think critically, not based on Utopian fantasy. I won’t waste my time commenting on your assessment of standards of living in communist countries, because it’s pure fantasy.

I used to actually be a libertarian brah remember that

@gergenheimer it actually happened. the biggest increase in standard of living in human history all happened in the 20th century in first the USSR, then China, then the DPRK, then Cuba. Why don’t libertarians ever shed tears for the corpses of capitalism? 140 million slaves alone died creating the wealth necessary for the creation of the factory system, not including the tens of millions of native americans let alone the hundreds of thousands of european poor and immigrants

@CajunCommie

Remember that the Bolsheviks played on a similar disillusionment… the preyed on the envy and the ignorance of the worker to gain power. And when they got it, they destroyed Russia. The “new elite” oppressed their subjects with a brutality that was unheard of in the days of the Czar.

Sure, i guess the whole communist thing was a success in that everyone not in government was EQUAL- equally poor and miserable. Plus now they had ZERO chance of being the best they could be.

“What has always made the state a hell on earth has been precisely that man has tried to make it his heaven” -Holderlin -One of my favorite quotes from F.A. Hayeks “The Road to Serfdom” When will neo-liberals wake up and realize that collectivism has and always will, produce horrors of unspeakable death and poverty? Islamism, Nazism and Stalinism ARE all constructs of liberalist socialist structure.

@CajunCommie Oh, if you were raised catholic then you must be correct ;-)

The comments here contain so much emotion and so few facts: folks think what you want, but think for yourselves. Read up!

@MarcNeilsen I gotta agree with you. I’m 18 now and I moved out and I’ve worked a few jobs to support myself. I got laid off a few months ago and have been living off my savings, the government intervention in the markets has stunted job growth so it’s getting harder, but I get my degree in 8 months so that’s gonna help.

@CajunCommie That sounds like someone who never really was a libertarian. Living off your folks as a man? Not much of a man, nor a libertarian. So what really happened is that your true nature was revealed. So now you want a bigger, more powerful daddy and mommy to provide the support.

@CajunCommie You are an avowed communist and you believe Libertarianism is the “most forceful misunderstanding of reality”? What aspect of repeated famine and millions of bloody corpses leads you still to believe in the Utopian fantasy of peace, prosperity and justice under Communism?

@AbelianGroup good thing im too smart/handsome in disposition to read dumb garbage!
