    Friedman and our Founders opposed statism regardless of the rationale!

    Thomas Jefferson: ( American President)
    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    More economic ignorance. Government is needed with all economic paradigms (its arguably needed more in capitalism, given the need to stabilise the economy). The idea that there is common ground between liberalism and communism is just painfully ignorant. You will of course keep repeating the stupidity, but it will remain stupidity.

    Our liberals spied for Stalin and gave him the bomb while libcommieism was slowly starving 60 million to death.
    A liberal is merely a communist in a free country who wants ever bigger govt until that govt is communist! got it now?

    Russia ensured WW2 win. Without Britain, US would have probably pandered to the fascists. Plenty of capitalists who were tickled by it. The American people obviously deserved better!

    USA saved freedom on earth through 2 world wars, recreated world it in its image, polices world, holds 70 of recent medical patents, just freed 1.4 billion more people in China from libcommieism etc etc. England emerged from WW2 tiny, socialist and irrelevant

    This comment amused me. If Britain (England doesn't have a government) had fallen, the Americans almost certainly would not have gone to war with the Germans. Think about that before spewing your bile

    Battle of Britain was 7 September 1940 to 11 May 1941. Pearl Harbour was December 1941. If Britain had fallen, there wouldn't be war with Germany. There would only be a Pacific campaign.

    All of Western democracy? Anti-fascists?

    Post-war British socialism was particularly successful. The NHS and the welfare state are notable examples. The NHS has been so successful that the right wingers have had to lie to try and get rid of it. Do right wingers always have to lie when it comes to public good provision?

    joking? Britain turned socialist after the War so became poor and irrelevant. Cuba and USSR had good health care too as long as they could rely in USA capitalism and creativity and entrepreneurship to invent it for them. USA has 70% of recent medical patents and gives Britain a break on price since it is so poor.

    Hitler randomly declared war on USA after Japanese attack. If Britain had fallen Hitler would have even more quickly looked west for next victim and been better prepared for war with USA. History and Econ are not your subjects I see?
