Jess Spear is the Socialist Alternative Candidate for WA State House, District 43, Seat 2. She completely fails to identify the true problem, the interference of the state in the affairs of people. It is laws of the government such as the minimum wage, which she wants raised, that contribute significantly to the inability of many black youth from getting that all important first job.

First question I would ask her is how is free market capitalism racist?
ReplyDeleteIME Socialists on this level usually don't know what free market capitalism even is. She'll tell you how crony capitalism / fascism / corporatism is racist.
DeleteHonestly I would love debate a socialist in front of crowd one day and destroy their arguments.
Deleteif the police are there to protect property, why don't they stop the government from taking mine?
ReplyDeleteFrom an article about Herbert Spencer:
ReplyDeleteThe same can't be said, however, for the progressive reformers who lined up against him. Take University of Wisconsin economist John R. Commons, one of the crusading figures that Hofstadter praised for opposing laissez-faire and sharing "a common consciousness of society as a collective whole rather than a congeries of individual atoms." In his book Races and Immigrants in America (1907), Commons described African Americans as "indolent and fickle" and endorsed protectionist labor laws since "competition has no respect for the superior races."

Its kinda fascinating how a lot of liberals were so incredibly racist back in those times even when racism was considered acceptable. If nobody knew who the author was your average person in these times would associate that quote from someone who is conservative. Then again when they praise LBJ as the one who "guaranteed voting rights for minorities" and then look at the the truth of LBJ and how incredibly vile he was, it really comes as know surprise.
