I never said they were the same. Your making the assumption that anything other than darwinian laizes faire unregulated capitalsim is socialism. That just ain't so. I would like to hear an explanation of how socialism created the great depression. One that doesn't rely on the koolaid of right wingnut revisionist history please. Stoney your too brainwashed by the machine. |

" darwinian laizes faire unregulated capitalsim" Again, tom, lumped together nonsense like that reveals you know little about Darwinian evolution or free markets other than what your socialist fellow travellers tell you. |

My friend, I have been asking you for support for your brainwashed ideas since about day one and seldom get even a reply. So now you want me to provide you with support for my conclusions. And you will insist that it be written by the Paul Krugman I guess. I'll give you support, a link. But it will not be Paul Krugman. But if you read it, if you investigate it, if you give it some thought I think it will enlighten you. Great Myths of the Great Deptression |

Stoney, ]did you ever hear of a mixed economy? That concept was being taught in Econ classes back in the late 50s and early 60s. |

Doesn't a mixed economy, like that espoused by progressives and social democrats, mix the two opposites of socialism and free market? We're in economic crisis, Europe is in crisis. Doesn't work well, does it. |

well, that is your opinion, Chris. And, it is the opinion of most of the right wing anti-Obama propagandists. Actually as expressed before, I think, they are opposites only at the extremes of both.

"well, that is your opinion" Everything posted on a forum is an opinion. "And, it is the opinion of most of the right wing anti-Obama propagandists." Back it up by naming, oh, say, 25. |
