Tyranny and liberty.

Name: Anonymous 2006-12-24 23:24

Every post people are whine about examples of different ideas under tyranny and push their ideas by providing exampleos of it working under liberty. In truth whether a government is tyrannical or libertarian is the biggest deciding factor in politics.

We should all get together and say, while we disagree about the finer points of [insert subject here] we all agree that tyranny is bullshit and would unite if someone started persecuting people for exercising their right to the freedom of speech or other tyrannical acts.

What can we learn from this? We should all compare and contrast our ideas when they occurred under a libertarian government in order to compare and contrast instead of going "LOL HITLAR".

Merry christmas.

Business interests are to maximize profits. To do this they want to maximize revenues and minimize costs. Costs are wages, investments in workplace security, overtime bonus etc. So, if business interests are allowed to influence a society, one can expect that that society will not have a minimum wage, no regulation   on security, no regulation on hiring and firing (because of race, sex, ideology, union membership etc), no right to strike, all ages are allowed to be labor etc. A society like this is not hard to imagine, and it is not what i would call a free society, whatever the law would state, whatever a freedom of press would exist and whatever the society would be democratic. A democracy can be tyrannical.
