lolbertarians are some of the dumbest people on earth.

okay, let’s say it is “crony capitalism run by the state” (he doesn’t mean state capitalism, he doesn’t know what that means)

what else can capitalism become, especially without extremely strict regulation and wealth/income caps- all things these people are against? and to the extent that the state has its hand in the economy, is it not ONLY to benefit corporations? they’re not regulating these companies or anything to any meaningful degree. so if the government is bad because they only serve big business, even in their own completely nonsensical analysis, doesnt that still make capitalism the problem?

    economically illiterate

    CHUDs “fucking love economics” the same way they accuse the left of “fucking loving science”.

    Everyone’s an anti-intellectual until it’s time to disregard economics.

      Liberals love economics too. Except instead of “it’s simple really, let me explain to you the supply-demand curve” the liberals will say “let me explain why this program for Pell Grant recipients benefits you metaphysically although not actually, and here’s why you should love it”
