understand the transitory nature of international economics and politics.
God help us I say. I'm tempted to go on with this and quote Hoover pre

1929
but for now resist the temptation, for I am sure in the fullness of time

it
will need to be stated on this ng


Translated to English you are saying that you really don't understand
what Capitalism and Socialism mean and how they affect people's lives
in the real world.

Don't quote Hoover or anyone else from previous centuries. Look at
people and the way they live *TODAY* to see the results of your
misconceived economic system.


I'll quote who I damm well like, thank you.

"Tchiowa", I don't think you are stupid, but I am beginning to wonder if
your insouciance is a pose ? Or again, you have it all figured out and what
is the use of fretting about the past and the future will look after itself
? St Mathew had something to say about this and it's worth a another look
Ch6 V28 to 34 and is very comforting in the larger scheme of things and
highly recommended.


No, it's much more simple than that. Capitalism and Socialism have
real life effects on real live people in the real world that we live
in. Debating over who said what in which century is completely
irrelevant to that reality.

Quoting you again - Translated to English you are saying that you really
don't understand what Capitalism and Socialism etc -

Some truth in that. But who does,
unless the whole history is evaluated and not just a tiny bit of it ?.


???? Who does? Everyone. At least everyone who wants to look at it.

You don't need to know the history of a system in order to know how it
works and how it affects people. Do you need to know the history of
the automobile to decide whether a Ford or Toyota is best for your
needs? Do you need to understand Bernoulli's Principle to know that
flying is safe? Or which airline to choose?

Your attempt at debating centuries old writings is nothing more than
an attempt to divert attention away from the real world.

I've been in Berkeley. Worked there for a while. Went to school there
for a while. I know the game.

This really is the last time "Tchiowa", that reply to you on this issue.


Not surprising. In the meantime, try looking at what Socialism did to
a billion Chinese and a quarter of a billion Russians and maybe you'll
begin to understand. The maybe you can reply to yourself.
