NRO: Bernie will be a thug who utilizes concentration camps and firing squads to push his agenda

[peecoolyour]

This is a very old and thoroughly discredited idea, one that dates back to Karl Marx and to the anti-capitalists who preceded him. It is a facet of the belief that free markets are irrational, and that if reason could be imposed on markets — which is to say, if reason could be imposed on free human beings — then enlightened planners could ensure that resources are directed toward their best use. This line of thinking historically has led to concentration camps, gulags, firing squads, purges, and the like, for a few reasons: The first is that free markets are not irrational; they are a reflection of what people actually value at a particular time relative to the other things that they might also value. Real people simply want things that are different from what the planners want them to want, a predicament that can be solved only through violence and the threat of violence. That is the first reason that this sort of planning leads to gulags. The second is that there are no enlightened planners; men such as Senator Sanders imagine themselves to be candidates for enlightened leadership, but put a whip in his hand and the gentleman from Vermont will turn out to be another thug in the long line of thugs who have cleaved to his faith.

I love how scared he has all of them. All the right people are terrified of a Sanders presidency.

2. That's one of the most bizarre and selfindulgent compositions I've ever read.

It's frightening.

4. I was going to call it "the most desperate piece of panicked chicken-shitting"

Tomato, tomahto

3. In other words, the same shit they say about Obama and will say about any liberal.

5. But free markets ARE irrational...

And why is it that the result of trying to soften the sharper edges of that irrationality is necessarily gulags? Do they have anti-capitalist firing squads in Scandinavia?

6. Give the repukes credit. Only they have the imagination capable of turning a minimum wage hike

into firing squads, concentration camps, and Marxism. Their insanely stupid and brainwashed masses will swallow it hook, line, and sinker. You will probably hear it on Fox Fake News and Limpballs as the lead talking point about Bernie.

7. Changing to an even playing field is only fair. Cheaters hate being fair.

I'm outraged over decades of slimy bullshit coming from the right and greedy.

8. Is that from that icrappedmypants blog?

It's hard to keep the weirdos straight sometimes.

9. The idea wad taken up whole cloth by NWO wackos

In 90s, their main boogieman was FEMA, who had the plans all drawn up and camps ready. Looks like even more of that conspiracy crowd took up TP handle than I thought.

10. bush and the republicans opened gitmo and torture

Obama backed off from that mess.

bush also cranked up the spy agencies to spy on all of us. Again, Obama has backed off from that mess.

Those were the dark old days when the bush regime ran the place. And those kooks are worried about Sanders? Bwahahaha
