The wealthy already now get subsidies to install expensive solar systems. I pay a higher amount for gas and electricity as a result. I have a wealthy frien who is president of a corporation that has made much money off of these subsidies for solar installations. He's a hard core Democrats. I wonder why.
It sure would be nice if all this regulation was designed to do was enforce neutrality on bandwidth. But that's no the case, and to pretend so is to be willfully and destructively ignorant.
Prohibition always causes more problems than it solves. I know banning something is always the knee-jerk reaction of the authoritarian left, but it never works as planned.
Yeah, sorry. Social ownership does not mean that individuals and regular people get to own production. It means that the State nationalizes it and "takes care of it with the peoples best interest in mind".
Ideology: nationalism, anti-capitalism, and anti-communism[edit]
Chiang, as a nationalist and a Confucianist, was against the iconoclasm of the May Fourth Movement. Motivated by his sense of nationalism, he viewed some Western ideas as foreign, and he believed that the great introduction of Western ideas and literature that the May Fourth Movement promoted was not beneficial to China. He and Dr. Sun criticized the May Fourth intellectuals as corrupting the morals of China's youth.[25]
Contrary to Communist propaganda that Chiang was pro-capitalism, Chiang Kai-shek antagonized the capitalists of Shanghai, often attacking them and confisticating their capital and assets for the use of the government. Chiang confiscated the wealth of capitalists even while he denounced and fought against communists.[26] Chiang crushed pro-communist worker and peasant organizations and rich Shanghai capitalists at the same time. Chiang continued Dr. Sun Yat-sen's anti capitalist ideology, directing Kuomintang media to openly attack capitalists and capitalism, demanding government controlled industry instead.[27]
Chiang has often been interpreted as being pro-capitalist, but this conclusion may be problematic. Shanghai capitalists did briefly support him out of fear of communism in 1927, but this support eroded in 1928 when Chiang turned his tactics of intimidation on them. The relationship between Chiang Kai-shek and Chinese capitalists remained poor throughout the period of his administration.[28] Chiang blocked Chinese capitalists from gaining any political power or voice within his regime. Once Chiang Kai-shek was done with his White Terror on pro-communist laborers, he proceeded to turn on the capitalists. Gangster connections allowed Chiang to attack them in the International Settlement, successfully forcing capitalists to back him up with their assets for his military expeditions.[28]
Suharto
Suharto imposed the Pancasila ideology on Indonesia. The 4th of 5 elements of Pancasila is:
Kesejahteraan Sosial (Social Welfare), influenced by Welfare-state idea, an emphasis on populist socialism
Salazar
An Autarkian society with an interventionist econmic policy, is a mixed economy at best.
Franco
Franco was a Fascist. Fascism is not Capitalism. Franco was pressured by the world to loosen economic controls, and as free market policies were slowly adopted, the economy had great growth.
All the other crap
We really need to look at States on a case by case basis. I can only think of one South American State that had a Capitalist dictator. You didn't mention it. China and Russia certainly do not apply. Neither of them has anything close to resembling a free market.
...our education system for the systematic under representation of male elementary and middle school teachers? Is the the fault of college level education courses? Do they have a systematic bias towards women?
California is in the toilet when it comes to vaccination rates. Wealthy Progressive areas are the worst, followed by poor Progressive areas. Coincidence or Medicaid?
Slashdot Mirror
It leaked, but I wouldn't say like a sieve. I would say like a fishing net with a few small holes.
Yes. That's a pretty good summation. Those organizations being governments who want to assert more control over their people.
It smells like fascism. That's what I'm afraid of. A lot of things lately have smelled like fascism.
But for some reason you only offer criticism of "Dubya".
No. Obviously you haven't actually looked at the subsidies, or you would be singing an entirely different tune. When you sing all I hear is ignorance.

Now we all get free long distance. Did you like paying exorbitant per minute fees?
It sure would be nice if all this regulation was designed to do was enforce neutrality on bandwidth. But that's no the case, and to pretend so is to be willfully and destructively ignorant.
I guess you really liked paying exorbitant per minute long distance charges in the 80's and 90's.
Either that, or Slashdot is filled with bad and/or stupid people.
No, it's really not.
Prohibition always causes more problems than it solves. I know banning something is always the knee-jerk reaction of the authoritarian left, but it never works as planned.
Yeah, it also doesn't have a dictator. Not really pertinent.
Yeah, sorry. Social ownership does not mean that individuals and regular people get to own production. It means that the State nationalizes it and "takes care of it with the peoples best interest in mind".

If you qualify for the federal exchange, the medicaid expansion would do nothing for you. How much do you pay for internet every month?
...our education system for the systematic under representation of male elementary and middle school teachers? Is the the fault of college level education courses? Do they have a systematic bias towards women?
Germany sure has a lot of State Owned Enterprise for a country that's not Socialist.
Neither the former Soviet Republic, nor the current Russian Oligarchy are Capitalist. You don't know the meaning of the word.
How many socialist dictatorships can you think of both past and present. How many capitalist dictatorships can you think of?
...somebody something to produce it somewhere, didn't it?
Doesn't everybody have insurance, now that it's mandatory?

Many people, me included don't live in towns. Or we have to work outside of a town.
