Just read it.
Link is broken.

Let me guess, is it "Socialism" by Ludwig von Mises? Since you seem to be such a fan of him.

If it is, I have read it.

Actually, it's Eat the Rich by P.J. O'Rourke.

It stuffy, point headed inteligentsia like von Mises.

It's hilarious, and fairly looks at various economic situations around the world. For example, the chapters are

Good capitalism: Wall Street
Bad capitalism: Albania
Good socialism: Sweden
Bad socialism: Cuba
How to make something from nothing: Hong Kong
How to make nothing from something: Tanzania

etc.

It really puts things into perspective and is fucking hilarious.

Any flaws with it you would like to point out?

That he destroys your worthless ideology and actually has personality (Something pinkos in general need to work on, they usually make the mistake of thinking they're timportant. You aren't).

That he destroys your worthless ideology and actually has personality I'm afraid that he would need to understand "my" ideology before he could "destroy it".


(Something pinkos in general need to work on, they usually make the mistake of thinking they're timportant. You aren't). We :wub: you too!

So you disagree with him?

I could swear just saying "The fellow has no clue what he's talking about" constitues a logical fallacy but I really don't care to find which one it is.

Let's go with ergo tu propter hoc adminimum condominim trash compactorminium.

That should cover it.



I'm sure you are afraid.




I look like a retarded pac man to you too.

Does any non-communist understand your ideology, Comrade?

So you disagree with him? No, I completely agree with him, that's why I said what I did :rolleyes:

Let's go with ergo tu propter hoc adminimum condominim trash compactorminium.

That should cover it.
Argumentum ad hominem tu quoque fallacy. And what is the "therefore you because of this "aminimum" condominiums trash compactor" fallacy? Besides utter fiction.

And the fallacy this fellow is committing is called argumentum ad ignorantium, your guilty of it too.



I look like a retarded pac man [compared] to you too.[sic] Yeah, you do look like a "retarded pac man" on your own.

And I thought it was the "I don't really speak Latin but I'm going to pretend like I do even though English would suffice" fallacy.

That's a biggie right there.

And I thought it was the "I don't really speak Latin but I'm going to pretend like I do even though English would suffice" fallacy. Sane, paululum linguae Latinae dico. Id legi modo hic modo illic. Vero, Latine loqui non est difficilissimum. Lingua speciem involutam praebet, sed sat cito eam comprehendes. Atque memento, nulli adsunt Romanorum qui locutionem tuam corrigant. Noli nothis permittere te terere.

I'm sorry, that was Medieval Philosopher Latin, but you being an expert on the subject I think you understand the jist of it.

Nice try, it really was.

In other words, vidi, vini, vici. And seig heil!

Quid ex infori dicet? Gratulatio, tu homo fatuus es! Dissimulator quoque es!

Once again sorry for the Philosopher's latin, homo fatuus.
