actually capitalism reduces spending and prices through price competition and innovation. This is why people were so poor in East Germany and so rich in West Germany. Have you ever heard about how Germany was split up after WW2? Why not read about it?
Hm. I'm not sure you understand what I'm saying. You said that we should adopt the characteristics of the most libertarian countries. One of their characteristics is that they have significantly smaller populations than the US. So I'm suggesting that any country that wishes to emulate these winners should first make sure they have a small population. I think that dividing into several smaller nations would be much more peaceful than the alternative.
It worked out great. You're talking about when Norway and Sweden dissolved their union and they both became more successful libertarian nations?
No I was talking about the US. Go for it dude. I'm sure you can connvince enough people to break up the US into a bunch of small countries. I imagine this will happen sometime next year. LOL
It's not my job to convince them. I don't really care what people in the US do. I'm simply explaining why Luxembourg is a more libertarian than the US. It's smaller.
And lets be clear. People in Luxembourg would be speaking Russian if the US broke up into a bunch of smaller countries
Who exactly would defend them? Hell....who would defend us from China? What if Russia pulled tanks into Luxembourg? Who would stop them?
I suppose we could send them a sterly worded letter saying they have violated the non aggression principle of our Libertarian values. That would probably do it.
somehow how you got one right. If the US had not consolidated into a federal govt with a huge military there would be no civilization to speak of on earth today!!
Questions are not a proof. You said, "People in Luxembourg would be speaking Russian if the US broke up into a bunch of smaller countries." Please provide your proof.
Putin want to reestablish the USSR and more if possible. This is what dictators do. If he wants ukraine and Syria it is not a stretch to assume he would want Europe.
Please provide PROOF that if we split up the US.....etc blah blah blah. You have a theory and I do too. Plenty of evidence for Russia being willing to invade other countries
I see. So when you said, "People in Luxembourg would be speaking Russian if the US broke up into a bunch of smaller countries," you were making an unfounded statement. Got it.
I see so when you said if we split up into a bunch of much smaller countries we would be more efficient you were making an unfounded statement. Got it.
Sounds good. Then your assertion that I said, "if we split up into a bunch of much smaller countries we would be more efficient," isn't shown to be true. On the other hand, you DID say, "People in Luxembourg would be speaking Russian if the US broke up into a bunch of smaller countries." And you've offered no proof of this assertion.
