By Thomas J. DiLorenzo
This time the Marxist-minded pontiff calls private-sector employers “the slave drivers of our days.” This was a popular theme among nineteenth- and early twentieth-century socialists — that wage earners in a capitalist economy are no better off than slaves. At least this gives us an indication of the state of the pope’s economic knowledge. I would say that he’s a pre-Soviet Union socialist/communist who seems totally oblivious to and unaware of the past several hundred years of world economic history.

RW Note: In the speech that DiLorenzo mentions the Pope also attacked capital and profit.
Did he just get back from the vet's office?
ReplyDeleteI thought he looked like a frilled-neck lizard but the vet visit take is even funnier.
DeleteBernie says: Of course the pope is a commie.
