Quote: socialists were forced to change their agenda:
Well yes, China adopted some free market/private ownership principles in 1980, but maintained state management of the economy.
Quote: they left behind the class struggle based on the economic system and replaced this with other supposed social conflicts, which are just as harmful to life and to economic growth.
Wrong. China kept the economy uppermost, under a "get rich" policy; no "class" or "other social conflicts" BS.
And now China is on course to overtake the US - though the US is currently pulling out all stops to try to prevent it.
Quote:The first of these new battles was the ridiculous and unnatural fight between man and woman. Libertarianism already provides for equality of the sexes.
All western phenomena, as Western economies failed to compete with Asia.
But Libertarianism - in this brave new world of gender and wage independence - doesn't compensate women financially for the loss of wages during birthing and suckling.
Quote:The cornerstone of our creed is that all humans are created equal and that we all have the same inalienable rights granted by the Creator, including life, freedom and ownership.
I have proved it all garbage; "liberal" societies throw the least advantaged onto the unemployment "welfare" scrap-heap.
The rest of the article is GIGO.
