Whose economic views do you prefer?

Mine are excellent, but of course I cannot claim authorship.

I agree....write-in: Pistol.

But Opebo's scare me more than SPC's.

opebo's scare you more? SPC claims that crack dealers are better role models for inner city black kids than Barack Obama.

SPC is insane, but opebo's PM score scares me silly, so I'm going to have to

This is probably the right answer although SPC's views scare me more. Opebo's are just hilariously naive. I bet he has never been to a real communist/socialist country or state. Opebo should visit Calcutta sometimes to see just how wonderfully communism works.

He should visit a city in a country that was never communist to see how communism works?

Good point, BRTD, and anyway, what on earth does communism or socialism have to do with my economic recommendations?  They're squarely Keynesian and not particularly leftist.

Blinkered Decadence or Spasmodic Dissolution into a Merito-Plutocracy? Most people will get laid in the former it has to be said. Other than that, I don't see much difference.

You ass, I spout textbook mainstream Keynesianism.  What's 'blinkered' about that?

...what on earth does communism or socialism have to do with my economic recommendations?  They're squarely Keynesian and not particularly leftist.

Bullsh**t your writings are sprinkled with marxist thought. But your probably a joke poster so whatever.

Oh so what?  I understand the world from a Marxist perspective, like any thinking person, but all my economic recommendations are Keynesian or perhaps at the very most Fabian.  Just because one believes Marx's description of the world was correct doesn't mean one thinks we must therefore stop all the brutality.

I like neither. Opebo's however are rigid and oppressive and would lead to disaster for everyone. A libertarian world is at least free to change in response to down-sides and a lot of people would prosper. I could hope to be one of them.

Hah, are you an automaton of your class?  Oh, that's right, everyone is.

Probably SPC's. I'm almost certain obebo is still a republican and posts to make a mockery of the far left. It's implausible that someone makes as big a shift as he made as fast as he did. It would be like me adopting former poster Bob Dole's views overnight.

Nope, the shift was not that big.  I was always socially liberal, I just fine tuned my economic views to better reflect my observation and experience.

[opebo]

opebo, of course. SPC still hasn't adequately explained to me how courts would remain impartial under his model.

Thank you, Xahar.  Though, to be fair, the impartiality of courts is hardly a strong point of mine either.

How is SPC winning this?

Forum stupidity.  Its a very right-wing forum economically, E-head.
