Is socialism as dead as the dodo? Its new guise as participatory fascism
Authoritarian sociopaths are always on the lookout for new ways to blame the marketplace and go where they haven't gone before with coercive programs, be they in education, energy, or health care
Authoritarian sociopaths engage in a constant process of breaking things and then breaking more things while trying to "fix" them
Two of the wealthiest participatory fascists: Bill Gates and Warren Buffet

What would happen if people kept their money away from the authoritarian sociopathic programs?
By what right, standard, or code can some people presume to "let" other individuals makes their own choices? No right, an unjust standard, and an immoral code
Government delivers the lowest possible quality at the highest possible price
Not only does the emperor have no clothes--there is no such thing as emperor!
Because governmental action is based on coercion and involuntary interaction, no good can come from it; rational minds require choice to function
The mainstream media gives you only a fraction of the info you need to make informed decisions

The problem of libertarian concessions to consistent statists is hindering the progression to freedom
Each of us exists for our own sake, not for the sake of the State or "others"
At the end of the day, Ron Paul is a politician; he writes in "earmarks" to bring home loot to his "constituents" in his "district" and concedes the statist premise of Constitutional government

A mixed economy confuses the moral issues and ideas in the statist extortion and regulation rackets
Philosophers and intellectuals aren't using the method of non-contradictory identification (logic) in ethics and politics one wit
The host doesn't need to parasites to survive and thrive; we don't need them (those in government) to survive and thrive
Today's America is running on prior capital, which today's level of statism is unapologetically consuming
Slumdog Millionaire winning awards is an indication or how morally bankrupt our culture is--the portrayal of wallowing in poverty, filth, and wretched contentment, coupled with rampant immorality and injustice
Political systems throughout the world are impoverishing whole countries

Widespread panhandling is an example of what government does to economies
We don't need anyone hindering our choices or offering us tax dollars (extorted loot), essentially creating barriers to entry to the wealth of a truly free market
Sitting in traffic is an illustration of the highway to hell paved by governmental employees
Authoritarian sociopaths don't care about your life satisfaction, though they do care about keeping you enslaved
Complete liberty asks that you demand the best in your life
If individuals aren't being respected, you don't have a respectful society
