"Well then oh shit, the free market is pulling hundreds of millions of people out of poverty? FUCK WE GOTTA GET RID OF THAT FUCKING FREE MARKET DON'T WE?"
Why don't you point out where I advocated such a view you fuckface.
"Only if the Chinese government squashes private development and economic growth. And again, plus, were it not for the evil capitalists stepping in, they would still be wallowing in squalor, misery, and poverty. I have strong confidence that if the Chinese government were to roll back its rigid control of personal activities in China that China would develop its economy at an unprecedented rate, and that its people would experiance a huge increase in prosperity and personal freedom."
I have strong confidence that you're full of shit with nothing to back up your claims. No one in this thread has yet to point out a country with a completely unregulated capitalist system that lead to "a huge increase in prosperity and personal freedom." All successful capitalist nations have some sort of intervention by the government which you can't seem to comprehend. But don't let that stop you from getting a huge increase in your boner from your bullshit political ideals with no practical results in the real world.
"And the Chinese government is getting in the way. Good pay and conditions result from a capitalistic society that is technologically advanced and, thanks to their market-based economy, has the tools, technology, and competitiveness necessary to create an abundance of wealth availible for anyone who will work for it. Combine this with workers' unions to help organize labor and negotiate good deals for workers, and you have a potent combination to bring people personal freedoms and a growing economy. Most of the advances labor has made in the United States were not made through government action, but through the action of unions of private workers."
Did you just advocate worker unions? FAKE LIBERTARIAN IS FAKE.
Also, I never advocated for the government to run our economy stupid.
"LOL? The areas of the United States that lack development tend to lack development because most cities developed near rivers, lakes, oceans, major waterways, or other conditions that are conducive to trade, commerce, industry, and production. This is what attracted people and industry to these areas, not their left-leaning tendencies."
Ever notice the connection between red states and education? They rank low in education. Red states pay less tax dollars on education because they pay less taxes overall along with less money being allocated to education. If most of the population were highly educated, they would be able to create a better economy in their area regardless of their surroundings. All those factors you mention gives that area an advantage but it in no way the only necessary means to achieve a good economy. Ever wonder why a small island with little natural resources like Japan was more technologically advanced than a huge country with tons of resources like China during World War 2? Because the Japanese put more emphasis on education and almost their entire population had some form of high school or college education.
If it was up to the libertarians, education would be completely privatized and poorer people would not be able to gain a decent education. Just refer to the red states for example.
So far, you have brought nothing but jibberish to this discussion. You and your libertarian peeps are an embarrassment to mankind. Kindly shut the fuck up and get the fuck out my internets.
