Leftist Dem. Senator Chris Murphy out with a new book touting collectivism — the “common good” — echoing Marco Rubio and New Right post-liberal Patrick Deneen (WHY LIBERALISM FAILED, 2018). First chapter: “The Cult of Profit.” Get that? Desire for gain, pursuit of happiness, the net creation of economic value, is a mental illness. Will he institutionalize CEOs? Both “sides” are united against individualism, capitalism, Americanism. For the antidote, read Ayn Rand.

But unlike Mises and Rand, Hayek never got to advocacy of pure capitalism. His ROAD TO SERFDOM (1944) ridicules it and his CONSTITUTION OF LIBERTY (1960) condones the mixed system, welfare statism.
Rothmus 🏴@Rothmus

As a young socialist, Hayek read Ludwig von Mises’ 1920 paper “Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth.” Mises showed that socialist central planning isn’t merely inefficient, it’s impossible. Without private property and genuine market prices, planners lack any rational way to allocate scarce resources or determine real costs and needs. Even Oskar Lange, a leading socialist in the calculation debate, effectively conceded the point. While he promoted “market socialism” with trial-and-error pricing by a central board, real-world socialist planners in Eastern Europe quietly relied on world capitalist market prices as a guide. Without external free-market price signals, pure socialism would be economically blind and coordination would collapse. Mises went further, arguing that interventionism, the “middle way” of government meddling, is inherently unstable. Each intervention creates problems that invite more interventions, eventually leading to full socialization. Price controls cause shortages, subsidies distort production, and the cycle continues until the economy is fully planned. The lesson is clear. Rational economics requires genuine market prices emerging from voluntary exchange and private property. Half-measures don’t stabilize the system. They accelerate the drift into central planning. The Austrian School understood this decades before the collapse of the Soviet bloc proved it in practice.

Apparently the Democrat Party has standards. They’re low, but they have some. Platner will likely win anyway, as have thousands of past Democrats won elections as racists, slavers, secessionists, eugenicists, Islamo-fascists, segregationists, & socialists. A diverse bunch.

We know. Yes. But I’ll care when I see perp walks, orange jump suits, prison times. None yet. Or too few. WHY. Stop talking. Start DOING: suing, prosecuting, jailing. Where are the thousands of Inspectors General not doing their jobs of identifying waste, fraud, & abuse?
Nick Sortor@nicksortor

🚨 Stephen Miller says the scale of welfare fraud is SO MASSIVE that eliminating it alone could balance the ENTIRE federal budget "The amount that has been fleeced from us is in the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars." "We could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them." This should infuriate EVERY taxpayer.

“Transfer ownership“ is code for STEAL. It’s disallowed by the 5th Amendment, if anyone still cares. Americans also possess a 2nd amendment right to handle the situation should it arise—the proverbial knock on the door. Will the brave, bruiser Mamdani himself go block-by-block, door-to-door, demanding titles & deeds, or send his larcenous lackeys? Will landlords lock & load?

It’s time to declare that Trump has blown it — a chance to truly cripple & wreck the terror regime & military in Iran. He hasn’t. He won’t. He‘s the halfway, half-assed man who simultaneously combines war & peace about as successfully as sex & abstinence. Thinks he’s dealing with the equivalent of a prudent, rationally self-interested cement supplier on a building project. Nope. Religious zealots in a death cult willing to sacrifice everything to slay what it hallucinates are demons, the US & Israel as “satan.” You don‘t talk with that. ProTrump Ferguson is starting to get it. Not fully there yet.

In Saudi Arabia, the highways have a red sign indicating the road for NON-MUSLIMS. In Saudi Arabia there are cities where you can't enter if you're not Muslim (Mecca and Medina) But they can invade western countries and they're welcomed happily.

Ruffalo channels Marx. Watch the crazy eyes, the shakes, with 15 seconds remaining. Revolution! Chaos! BOOM!💥He’s excited about the possibilities, the bloodshed, the violence, the dictatorship of the proletariat. Says it’s gonna be “dark,“ “scary,“ “painful.” He & his Red buds are ready to inflict hurt when the dialectical bells toll.
Defiant L’s@DefiantLs

Mark Ruffalo talks about how America should shift from Capitalism: "It’s gonna take some re-imagining of what America is."

This campaign is so clever. Democrats are no doubt losing their sh*t over this one. Just so funny.

Price controls. Britain. On food. 2026. Barbaric. Food shortages? Economic principles are irrelevant to control freaks. Still addled by Keynesian nonsense.

To those who still claim China is a “communist” economy. Neither the USSR nor Mao’s Red China exported food; they starved their own citizens,
