And I NEVER said the US had anyone's best interest's at heart other than their own, but that is beside the point. They moved away from government control, and the direct result was that people stopped starving. This is very, very fucking simple. The more state control their is, the more impoverished the people, PERIOD. If state intervention "worked" as you claimed, then there would have been no need for reforms, because Spain would have been a magical paradise where the dictator commanded the tides and economic growth was shat out by flying unicorns on command. But that wasn't the case, and never has been, there, or anywhere else with a massive state control apparatus.
You dumbassed statists are simply too stupid to understand the concept of a spectrum, so you can't make any kind of reasonable assessment of any situation, which is why every time you are put in charge, you destroy everything, leaving nothing but crumbling monuments to your own ineptitude.
"1) Falangism (fascism, the Spanish version), as well as nationalcatolicism were not abandoned by Franco till his death in 1975."
You can say that, but it's wrong. The US intervened and forced free market refoms starting in the 60's. Franco was forced to comply or be killed. This is what you call a "quasi-coup".
The CIA is/was very, very persuasive when it came to such things.
The Spanish Miracle didn't happen until after the free market reforms were imposed. If you can't even get basic facts straight, I would suggest you crawl back into your hole, you idiot goon.
Following the path of the US (democracy and economic freedom), and following the path the the CIA forced on other countries (shut up and do what we say or die), are two very different things.
I think the successes of that era were probably due to the abandonment of fascism for the free market you hate so much rather than the other way around, commiefriend.
It was EXACTLY in the 60's when there was a quasi-coup that forced Franco to adopt economic liberalization.
Fact is, their continued intervention in the market only held them back, and is a large part of the reason why Spain is a basket case today. Had they taken the path of freedom, they would have advanced as Germany and Britain did.
You keep using that phrase "day one". I do not think it means what you think it means.
I never said we would have AGI robots on "day one". I said that by the time with have robots with AGI, they will be able to repair themselves without continuing support from the manufacturer.
We have shared AI resources RIGHT NOW, including a massive skill repository on Youtube that some AI's are already using to learn tool use.
There are already numerous databases of shared resources dedicated to AI, to say nothing of Youtube how-to videos and text based instructions, which they can read a few million times faster than a human.
And yes, that does assume that it has both mobility and dexterity. Why on earth would you have an AI robot that didn't have those things? So it can look at you and have deep thoughts? You can do that with a computer and a webcam.
Yes it does, when it isn't lazy nor bound by bias and social convention, and has direct access to the knowledge and experiences of every robot and AI ever made. You teach one AI how to solder a circuit board, that knowledge gets put into a common repository, and suddenly they ALL know how.
Saying that a strong AI controlled robot can't do something because a human can't is like saying that a computer can't do huge numbers of calculations in a second because a pigeon can't.
Nor is language. Otherwise, we'd be calling Kleenex, tissues. Kleenex has no problem protecting their trademark. If they let Puffs use their name, that would be problematic for them, and they would have to take action.
If the robot is advanced enough to be considered alive and sapient/sentient, then it will be able to repair itself using off the shelf parts and/or materials it fabs for itself in your garage. This is in addition to fixing and upgrading everything you own on a regular basis.
A likely outcome/transition point we will see during the Singularity.
Yes, they are. They use different names for the leaders and such, but they most assuredly do redistribute wealth in a centrally planned manner according to what they think is best for the nation (or their cronies). They use the same means towards the same ends, and achieve the same failures.
"I object to our brand being used to describe ultra-high quality."
Now if the VALVE said that, they would have a case, as it would be appropriation--they would need to work a deal to get an endorsement, but to censor an article for making the comparison (especially when used in such a positive light), is just plain stupid, whether or not they have a case.
As long as you can easily replace the screen. WAAYYYYYY too easy to break. Might also depend on the cost of the replacement parts. If a screen is $100, I'd rather just stick with a low end phone that is "good enough" for what I use it for, and just buy another one if it breaks.
They can buy nukes. They just need a permit for the radioactive material. It's just that no-one would sell to them. They could also make them themselves, again with the same permit for the radioactive material. In fact, they do. That is where the military sources its nukes--the private sector.
It actually is. If you don't like it, amend the constitution.
As it so happens, ALL nuclear weapons in the US have been in private hands at at least one point in their lives, as they are made by private corporations. They just need permits for working with the radioactive material. ANYONE can build a nuke absent the radioactive material. In fact, you might even be able to make a fusion bomb if you could figure out how to implode the fusile core without using a fission bomb. But they don't, because that is difficult and expensive.
I had a guy steal a bunch of money from me once. I called the police and they came out, but it turned out he was a prison guard and they knew each other. Guess what happened next.
Problem is that the first few people to act get put in a box, with no guarantee that others will follow.
To agitate a rebellion, you really have to threaten the people's food supply. Not much short of that will cause a violent uprising, at least not without some sort of well funded backer, like old George Soros.

Left wing governments do exactly the same thing, so the distinction is meaningless.
There is only freedom and oppression. Both left and right fall under the umbrella of oppression.

No, that's stupid, and you are stupid. Just stop posting.

No, they get to keep the guns long after the end of their national service, and can buy them without having served (ie women can buy them).
Yes, they are. They use different names for the leaders and such, but they most assuredly do redistribute wealth in a centrally planned manner according to what they think is best for the nation (or their cronies). They use the same means towards the same ends, and achieve the same failures.
I don't think any reasonable person would be confused by the wording of that article to think that those were IMAX goggles or something.

Fascists, like all socialists, want something for nothing, and are willing to pick everyone else's pockets to get it.
This is straight up Corporatism right here.
