I would think this infers support for a more a balanced position, definitely not a status quo position in my view as the current position is far from a reasonable balance and quickly moving in the wrong direction.

Don't worry, I am sure Gandalf will be along soon to clarify. Instead of trying to speak for him, why don't you give your own view? Which direction are we moving in? Where would you like to see it go?

Seems a nice change from the myriad of D grade year 9 market capitalist opinion we have here.

Did you know that Gandalf blames capitalism for the British Empire's fall from power?

Ready, Karnal... rise up workers from your slumber, you have nothing to lose but your want...o.k that's all I know. The rest is something about relatively rich people trying to get relatively poor people to fight their battles for them.

Thanks, Homo. Alan Jones, Andrew Bolt, Piers Ackerman - all good socialists, no?

Could be some truth in that.

Their imperialism model was somewhat inefficient, probably didn't compete well with new start ups like the US and later forced restructures.

No concern about Gandalf at all.

The first part on my comment was my interpretation on what Gandalf had said the middle bit was my comment on your status quo statement and the third was my opinion on where we are going - further from
a reasonable balance.

Are we supposed to already know what you consider to be a reasonable balance and what direction you think we are going in?

The reason I explained it.

Do you believe that privatising everything that isn't nailed down to be the right way to go.

I always planned to claim socialist status if the girl friends husband found me under the bed.

Seems to be the conservatives pushing hard for higher taxes the only difference is that you end up financing the lifestyles of Turnbull, Abbott, Corman, Bishop and Morrison.

I am not asking for the reason you hold the views you do. I am asking what those views are. It's a pretty simple question.

I think it makes sense for the government to maintain ownership, or at least control, of industries that are naturally stable monopolies. Roads are a good example. I oppose tolls and think we should use fuel taxes instead. But as far as it concerns current issues, I am mostly in favour of privatisation.
