They have stupid and failed economic ideas that are the same as the Republican economic ideas

You don’t seem to embrace any of the ideas of personal freedoms the libertarians claim to support

listen, your hatred is causing you to spout the most idiotic things all the time.....it's almost like you went to school in russia or china. stop it. you sound dumb enough.
 
For the past 50 years politicians have lived under economic hedonism. Controlling interest rates to make it easier for government spending is not capitalism.

Nope. No such thing as 'fascist state capture' or 'crony capitalism'.

There is no such thing as 'medical policy' either. You are full of meaningless buzzwords today.

Corrupt politicians pass laws that are unconstitutional and fascist. Pfizer paid them to do it. That's bribery, not fascism.

So? Not fascism, and not involving the government.

both are real, dipshit.

but here you are proving my point, libertarians deny fascism and crony capitalism.

libertarians seem to absolve corporations of all moral duty and accountability, and bleat about national divorce like retards.

the ability of leftists to hate capitalism from listening to the people who have greatly benefited from capitalism speaks volumes about the idiocy of those leftists.

That comes from a combination of greed and envy for their being incompetent and lazy. Think about it. They hate Capitalism because people get ahead in that system by individual effort, hard work, and being intelligent. What the Left likes is Socialism because it allows them to succeed despite their inability to innovate and unwillingness to work hard.

Buzzword fallacy. There is no such thing as 'crony capitalism'. It doesn't matter whether one is a libertarian or not. Strawman fallacy. I am not a libertarian. You are not making a point. Buzzwords are not a point. Void argument fallacy.

Why do you go on about libertarians?? Marjorie Taylor Green, a Republican, came up with the phrase 'national divorce'. She's an idiot.

The founders regulated corporations . They had charters and would revoke them if they did something against the public good. I guess you think they were socialists.

Amazing how profoundly ignorant Gardner is. And he claims to have an MA in history. He'd flunk a grade school civics test.

Sure they did...

The first corporation formed in the US were small banking ones that started in 1790 shortly after the Constitution was signed. The Constitution, and federal government, only could regulate certain aspects of a business such as patents and trademarks, interstate commerce, antitrust law, and bankruptcy. There was nothing in it about "public good," and corporations could and did all sorts of things in their best interests, not the public at large.

I know you don't think.

Nope. We suffered with corporate power from the Brits and the founders were not giving up their control.
