    "Marxism and all of its derivatives lack the essential value flag mechanisms that make any other economic system work,"
    False. It doesn't have the same value flag, but it certainly has a value flag.

    Value doesn't have to equal money.

    Or look at the airways prior to FCC. Like most people who just knee jerk hate some government group, they don't bother to find out the history of why it exists, nor do they seem to have the mental capacity to look at what would happen if it went away.

    It's like they think all the regulation and agency just appeared for no reason at all.

    No, there isn't, and most bureaucrat's agenda is 'How do we serve the citizens the best we can?'

    "and force you to get dosed, at knife or gun-point, with much the same effect."
    That's a common fallacy.
    Just becasue some one will do X, doesn't mean they will do anything to get to X.
    Rapist are predatory in nature and usually planners. Needing to use a knife or gun puts them at risk, and is different to plan for.
    Maybe some will, but not all. You see this in any case where the bar to commit a crime goes up, fewer people do it.

    This isn't likely to get anyone caught. Anyone can roofie a drink. A 3rd party could roofie a drink, then the date takes her home because she isn't acting right, and a 3rd party arrives at the home and rapes her.

    This is the kind of planning rapists often do.

    You don't seem to understand what they means.
    "You talked about feedback loops that restore a system to equilibrium"
    That does not mean it returns to a previous state. It means when energy input/capture levels off there will find a NEW equilibrium, not the same. There is no rule the new equilibrium needs to be habitable to humans.

    ", this could be the mechanism that then reverses warming."
    IN no way does that make any sense what so ever.

    Either they have been going on and are already taken into account, or they are new and will make it worse(but it is dwarfed by human CO2 release)
    Nothing about it means reversing it.
