I think you both bring up solid points. However, the main problem is that the public school system is underfunded. Also, the 'culture' of working class people in low socioeconomic areas like western Sydney, western Melbourne etc places less value in the importance of a good education. The...

I approve. Fuck the IMF, fuck the WTO and fuck the World Bank.

Fuck, because economic inequality creates social inequality. Severe economic inequality (like in our society) creates a class system whereby the wealthy have a vested interest in denying rights, information and liberty to the masses. 'Freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice, and...

Untrue. Capitalism has only existed for around 200 years. If profit is the only incentive to work, how did we get things done prior to the profit motive? This is true to a point. Firms seeking to maximise profits also cause considerable harm to society. The profit motive has resulted in...

I live in Western Melbourne. The majority of poor people I've come across are simply worn down, depressed and feel hopeless in a system that has no concern for them. Even worse, the government doesn't fund schools very well and their children end up with a lower quality education and place less...

What the fuck. At what expense? Profit maximisation is the only goal for not-for-profit companies and the horrible state of the planet and humanity reflects this. If for profit business should exist, which I believe shouldn't, its goal should be working towards a brighter future for the world's...

Very interesting read, but what I find disturbing are the huge array of ignorant conservatard comments after the blog.

The Communist Manifesto, among others. Chomsky does comment on economics.

^ You're an absolute immature fuckwit, when the moment your facts are destroyed by cold hard evidence you fumble for answers and crumble like a sack of shit. Noam Chomsky is a world renowned public intellectual, who also happens to be a sympathiser for anarchosyndicalism. He is a fucking genius...

Anything by Chomsky.

What a joke, seriously what the hell.

Dude if the ALP were socialist they would abolish capitalism. Just because they're in favour of unions and various social benefit schemes does not mean that they're socialist. If they were socialist, capitalism would be abolished. They're not socialist, they're pro-capitalist douchebags against...

Lol, Labor aren't socialist at all.

Yes. Because even though I din't like to admit it, the State does protect workers from capitalism to some extent. But even with our inadequate state protection, workers still get fucked over by corporate greed. Time to bust a myth. Friedman, your hero, as he regularly did, failed to present...

@Incentivation: I'm not an AC, but I think that one of your questions relates to a more general anarchistic concept. A very common argument against Anarchism is that the ill-defined and hardly generally applicable notion of 'human nature' will prevent a free society. Or put more succinctly...

You call it free trade, I call it legal theft.
