In the UK and in more and more counties, that is not saying much

They are always lying. It's very hard to discern fact from fiction

The liberating parts of Karl Marx, has been realized by capitalism. Workers own the means of production through shares. Marx never intended to give control to the masses (liberty). He wanted the power to shape mans soul. He thought that if he controlled the means of production he can control humanity in such a way that he can reshape mans soul. He rightly understood that you can't navigate large economic organizations with a committee. You need a dictator at the top to resolve conflicts and choose the direction. Marx wrongfully thought that that role will go to the philosopher (himself). When implemented that role went to the most vicious and political savy (Stalin, Mao). A meritocracy is the only way to create a thriving society.

Correct. But my point is that maybe it's necessary. You can't hold a society together, especially a society based on values, when people with different values are overriding the country. The libertarians are sticking to the rule book while the socialists are using the rules to undermine freedom. Using immigration to destroy the will of the USA citizens and then using the laws to prevent deportation is classic Saul Alinski

I agree. The question is how do we stop Marxism from eroding freedom? And here is an even harder question: How do we reverse and fix the damage that Marxism has done to our society?

I will try that

Still, how do one earn your first Monero? At your work one earns fiat. If he has nothing to sell in a bazaar, one can't get Monero to buy the things he needs. This is the problem I am facing

It seems like she was into BDSM. So I guess she was more on the kinky side of things

Fear mongering. The Lefties fear that they will loose control over the energy market. The need for cheap energy is so great that countries might loosen regulations. This is their way of stopping this. https://www.statista.com/chart/36136/number-of-major-nuclear-accidents-worldwide-since-1952 #nuclear #socialism

What makes humans human is not the way they look but the way they think. And in that they are all very similar. Born a blank slate, shaped by the surrounding philosophy yet capabiof independent thoughts.

Blankly claiming that the US has a mobility problem is hiding half the truth. There are two ways of thinking about mobility. Relative terms and absolute terms. In absolute terms (children making more then their parents) the US is one of the leading in upwards mobility. This is the reason why so many people want to migrate to the US. People don't care about relative economics. They just care if they can "buy more stuff" which is an absolute measurement. Regarding your point about migration, this is only true with regulated and small migrations. Once there is a migration wave, crime goes up. If there are no checks at the border, disease goes up. If there are large socialist programs, they become a drain on these programs (we see this in Sweden). Depending on the prevailing philosophy of the migrants, this might be temporary. Migrants with "open" philosophies (Asians, Eastern African and mos Jewish sects) tend to push themselves into the economic sphere and become a net good. But even they, when coming in masses, tend to create enclaves which result in relative poverty. Those who come with "Closed" philosophies (Muslims, some Jewish sects) tend to remain poor and dependent on welfare.

I argue for liberalism (as in freedom, not as in socialism). In a liberal society, anyone can migrate into the country. But, in a liberal society this those not come at enyones expense or risk. It most certainly is not tolerated as a means to change the founding principles of a country. Once we agree that the current migration system is broken, the question is who should fix it. Congress can fix it. Bit they are not willing to do it. Trump might not have the authority to fix it, or at least it's a grey area, but he is willing.
