Ronald Wintrobe Quote

"There is little to be feared from the standard picture of a totalitarian society in which 'cogs,' who are watched by Big Brother or his equivalent, carry out orders emanating from the top. Such a society would collapse in inefficiency. What is infinitely more fearsome is the capacity of a dictatorship to use the principle of competition to organize terror and murder."

Welcome to Capitalism.  -- Anonymous, Raleigh, NC
All forms of socialism are totalitarian societies with carnal gods (government) and cogs. Each such society eventually collapses in inefficiency — maximizing pain, suffering, violence and demise of man's nobility along the way. The current statist theocracy infesting this land has sufficiently rejected individual sovereignty, inalienable rights and liberty at nature's law that, its implementation of a most heinous theocratic socialism (organized terror, murder, theft, etc.) will sooner than later, end in a history repeating itself result.  -- Mike, Norwalk      2
The social system of Socialism garners opinions and perspectives from all members to best respond in the best interest of all for all social and technological circumstances. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create cooperation.  -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      1
Sillik, what do you mean by best? My observation of socialism's slaves self serving degeneration (opinion and perspectives) is not the best as according to nature's law.  -- Mike, Norwalk      1
Mike, Norwalk, best means most effective at sustaining life.  -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
Sillik — hahaha lololol Your here definition of best is extremely antithetical to socialism. Your version of socialism is a theocratic mental illness that will ultimately arrest life.  -- Mike, Norwalk
Mike, Norwalk, it is not my version. It is the version, and quite healthy as well as quite productive, as well as only alternative. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create the alternative.  -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      1
Fred, that is not socialism. Socialism is quite frankly one-party rule.  No dissent allowed.  Cooperation my a$$.  -- E Archer, NYC
