articles vs constitution

Too tired to cut & paste & reformat.

Okay, what I'm seeing here is a philosopher preaching, but not offering any data to support his conclusions.

Only real piece of data I need to offer is that men prefer freedom to slavery.

Care to take the opposing view?


Without laws and a bureaucracy to enforce them - plundering is far worse.  I offer Somalia and Monrovia as evidence.

Apparently you missed -- or didn't understand -- the bits about the constabulary, courts, border patrol, and militia. What I'm suggestin' is minarchy, not anarchy (which, of course, has no constabulary, courts, border patrol, or millitia).

Please, try harder and keep up...yer startin' to bore me.

🐑 + 🐁 = you

*This is exactly why your plan won't work, letting local officials and transgressors be punished by vigilantes is not a pleasant thought.  The flaw in the system we have is people are lazy and let the government run itself without paying attention, thinking voting for president every four years is doing their part. The government does bad shit because you let them.
 

 
Hey, Flint!

It's not even good Troll work: just repetitive monkey chitter.

 A free market generally refers to a situation where there is little by way of government. An example would involve what took place among Native American tribes in what is now the U.S.

In this case, it refers to deregulation, where prices should go down presumably because of competition. However, it can go up because of war and pandemics, both of which may affect supply chains.

Finally, for another example of Communism, consider China, where 20 to 40 million died because of four failed programs. However, after two of them were adjusted during the late 1970s (the catch is that private ownership of the means of production was allowed in export processing zones), they led to over 800 million people lifted out of poverty (and a reduction of poverty from over 60 to 11 pct) and something like an ave. eco. growth rate of around 7 pct for decades.

Similar happened in Cuba, where the economy quadrupled in size in two decades, from around $25 billion in the late 1990s to $100 billion by 2018, or something like an ave. eco. growth rate of 10 pct per annum.
 

It'll take more to up what was involved in the 2008 crash: around a trillion dollars in subprime lending out of a global derivatives market that now has a notional value of over a quadrillion dollars.
