    he referred to the state in general regardless of the state's rationale. I refer to the libcommie state because they are the two most popular rationales for the state today. Makes sense now?

    Friedman was 100% anti statist( as am I) and that certainly includes the modern liberal state and the modern communist state. Now certainly you understand these basics?

    Yep, you can refer to blubbering like anti-statist. Provides no justification for the libcommie tag mind you. That's just ignorance.

    This is twaddle. Friedman is known for two things: negative income tax (failed) and monetarism (failed). His importance is only in showing the fake debate with the neo-Keynesians. And no, neo-Keynesians isn't code for some ludicrous libcommie comment

    a lib state and a commie state or libcommie state are the kinds of states that Friedman and our Founders detested. Welcome to America.

    This is also nonsense. Friedman wasn't against Liberal Democracy. He was against specific forms of fiscal interventionism. You continue to show incoherence in basic economics

    Friedman certainly didn't believe you could eliminate the state. His output was actually quite mundane, such as adding to the debate over the Phillips Curve.

    No need for childish comment. If you can show that Friedman rejected liberal democracy present the quote. We'll just see that you don't understand liberal democracy mind you

    His analysis was on the optimal role of the state. Nothing in that suggests libcommie cretinous comment. He just made basic error (like the negative income tax and how it needs tax progressivity to work)

    If I said he rejected liberal democracy I will pay you$10,000. Why would I present a quote to show he rejected when I never said he rejected. Do you know what a strawman is?

    There is no compatibility between liberalism and communism. Friedman would know that as he understood economics

    I love how you don't even understand your argument. A good advert for right wing comment for economics...

    sure there is both are statist. our liberals spied for Stalin. Useful Idiots is a whole book about our liberals who spied for Stalin and communism. Hillary and Bernie are libcommies in same party with over lapping ideas about how govt is good. Friedman would have detested both but Bernie more because he is more openly statist. Now I bet you understand?

    The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened

    Repetition of your efforts to ignore political economic sense, nothing more.

    I'm neither a liberal or communist. Well done in being totally wrong!
