    Chortle, chortle, you can google? Well done! Now try and actually respond: You don't know how Hayek's critique actually empowered socialism, where his comments on socialist calculation demonstrated the power of worker ownership.

    Hint: you have to refer to Hayek's undertanding of knowledge (tacit and distributed)

    I suppose to some Marxists they did but so what? The beauty of freedom is that it frees you to start a worker owner company. Many have tried to one degree or another and all have failed. Do you get it now?

    This is low brow bobbins even for you. Have you bothered to peruse the socialist caculation debate? Do you have any understanding of the economic analysis involved?

    I already explained to the libcommie that the beauty of freedom is that millions of companies are free to move toward workers ownership to any degree that they would like.

    You are so reliant on saying naff all. I asked you specifics. Tell me about the socialist calculation debate. Tell me whether socialism has failed in that. Why can't you refer to any economics? Why are you so poorly read?

    Burczak is a simple libcommie Marxist trying to make inroads into capitalism; nothing more

    This is childish comment. If you want to dispute his economic approach then do so with economics. If you can't then be honest

    easy, socialism slowly starved 120 million to death. How is that for a bad economic idea? Pity Stalin and Mao were lib commies rather than Austrians- right?

    Socialists typically have no support for Stalin and Mao. Market socialists certainly have none. Why do you insist on making cretinous comment in order to hide from the economics?

    Our liberals spied for Stalin and gave him the bomb while he was slowly starving 60 million to death!! Whoops! It was not until Stalin and Hitler were getting along so well that many liberals decided they picked the wrong horse.

    You forgot to answer: Why do you insist on making cretinous comment in order to hide from the economics? Refer to an economic critique of socialism. Surely you can?

    More drivel. What the heck do you think the socialist Orwell was doing with all of his literature? Think before you type now!

    Hitler, Stalin and Mao weren't socialists. Bit obvious really. You sound like a victim of McCarthyism dear boy.

    Hitler Stalin and Mao killed 180 million with socialism. How is that for an economic critique? Our Founders knew they were coming so made them all illegal here. Imagine the genius!

    all big govt liberal killers like 1000's before them in history. Now you can understand why our Founders made the concept illegal- right? Let me guess you want to go to 250 million dead before you give up on libsocialism?

    You can keep talking bobbins if it appeals to you. However, none of them were socialist. I appreciate you might need help mind you. Start with the film The Death of Stalin. It won't help eliminate your ignorance, but General Zhukov is a laugh.

    Economic accuracy may not be an issue for you, but its a basic requirement for valid argument. Calling a fascist 'socialist' is cretinous. Calling a communist dictator 'socialist' is also cretinous

    The idea that your ignorance of political economy is forgiven through a warped understanding of the constitution does raise a smile. Just a small one mind you.

    You need content. Perhaps suggest that the military industrial complex is illegal? Good luck!
