chilango said:What????
Arguing for individual liberty and freedom from restriction of movement by the state is ONLY liberal?
So all libertarians are liberals?
Fruitloop said:Well yeah, from a dogmatic marxist point of view that is more or less the case.
tbaldwin said:I think that it's not dogmatic to argue that policies should be decided by the majority view and interest.
It hardly makes me Joe Stalin does it...
chilango said:majority of who/what?
what are yer boundaries?
how do you know its a majority?
whose policies?
etc etc.
tbaldwin said:1 Everybody over 18.
2 There not set by me....But its not a bad idea.
3 Counting
4 Let the people decide.
5 I put my faith in the majority deciding policies not in any minority no matter how benevolent they may appear to be at first.
chilango said:Thats more or less the system we have.
A system that is "creating an unprecedented flood of immigrants" or whatever...
tbaldwin said:No its not the system we have. At the moment we have a limited democracy.
The UK still has unelected judges and the house of lords and the whole parliamentary system needs reform.
At the moment the views of the majority on crime redistribution of wealth and immigration are not reflected by the people in power.
In my Opinion All MAJOR issues should be decided on by a majority vote not just by a vote of represenatitives.
tbaldwin said:I am on the Left in that i want to see a radical redistribution of wealth and power internationally.
Of course for someone with your narrow mind because i dont agree with your views on public spending,crime and migration. You want to write me off as a BNP member Daily Mail reader etc etc etc...It stops you from having to think.
It stops you from having to think
treelover said:I've just read on Guardian CIF that Noam Chomsky is critical of mass migration, that it has a detrimental effect on social structures, leading to a decline in unionism and wages for the unskilled classes; ie. he regards it as a neo-liberal economic tactic to drive down wages for the unskilled.
never hear the No Borders lot quoting that bit of the Chomsk

nino_savatte said:constant crapping on about immigrantion is no different to the rantings of the Monday Club in their heyday. .
tbaldwin said:That sentence shows so much about you and your shallow politics and bigoted mind.
The Monday club were Nationalist Tories who argued for National Conservatism. I'm an International Socialist who argues for International and Socialist solutions, to the problems they thought could be fixed by a return to the days of empire.
And you are a twat who struggles to see the difference.
I believe in reparations to developing countries they like you had very little interests in the consequences of economic migration/imerialism on developing nations.
Like you they probably thought it was good and right to spend more and more money on a very small minority of privelleged people.
nino_savatte said:You're no Internationalist. If you were an Internationalist you wouldn't keep crapping on about "borders" and "immigration". You're a statist, if anything at all.
As for your 'socialism', I'll take that with a tonne of salt.
tbaldwin said:I keep crapping on about the International consequences of Economic Migration: that you can not understand the difference between that and the position of the monday club says more about you than it does me,nino.
My Socialism opposes the free movement of capital and labour....Yours sort of does and it sort of doesnt....In a very Liberal nationalist sort of way....
nino_savatte said:You're no Internationalist if you support the concept of borders. .
tbaldwin said:That is a very interesting point nino. Well for you anyway.....
You seem to be mixing up supporting International Capitalism in its worldwide effort to extract the greatest profit with something called International Socialism. Which opposes the free market and believes in regulation and replacement of International capital.
Easily done....Especially by Liberals.
nino_savatte said:Sorry but you're still a capitalist lackey if you support the idea of borders and migration controls.
You're no socialist and you're certainly no internationalist.
tbaldwin said:Of course i support the idea of borders and immigration controls...
Your idea of the free movement of people is utter nonsense.
You think that people should be free to go whereever there money takes them?
Does that include everybody...Child Molesters etc?
nino_savatte said:You're no socialist and you're no internationalist. You're a statist.
tbaldwin said:So you support the idea of free movement for everyone nino based on what ? Money?
tbaldwin said:So you support the idea of free movement for everyone nino based on what ? Money?
tbaldwin said:No answer yet nino?
nino_savatte said:You're not an internationalist, but you are a fucking liar.
tbaldwin said:So nino do you support the right of everyone to go whereever they want based on their ability to pay?
tbaldwin said:The evidence seems to suggest that its you that's the liar nino......Not to mention a stuck up bigot......
