This piece has been floating around the net for a couple of years,
and has been changed here and there, little by little, over time. It
was originally entitled "Economic & Political Theory 101" and first
appeared in the 'Etc.' column of AntiShyster <http://antishyster.com>;
Volume 6, Number 3 (the one with the cover story, "Cathy O'Brien:
Sex, Lies & Mind Control"; which I know Kris has a copy of and
can verify). The above phrase is one of the parts that has been
changed; originally worded it read, "Libertarian Anarcho-Capitalism:
You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull."
Considering that roughly 90% of your posts to CTRL have been in
rabid defense of Clintoon and his democratic-socialist policies, it is
not suprising that you would find Adask's piece (and his excellent
mag in general, no doubt) as being "not well balanced"; after all, he's
not a nwo lickspittle like 87% of the other newsfakers masquerading
around as the 'independent press', who do little more then serve as
mouthpieces of the establishmentarian status quo and nwo crowd.

As MJ (and a few others) have clearly pointed out several times these
past few months: the America economy is NOT based on 'capitalism',
but is a highly regulated, heavily taxed mixed economy much closer to
bureaucratic/democratic socialism than it is free-market capitalism. Those
'ruthless' plutocrats you falsely define as 'capitalists', are closet socialist
dependent on gubbmint dole\controls and work hand in hand with their
in-the-pocket gubbmint 'represenatives' to keep it that way. As Overbeck
alluded to couple of weeks ago: there is socialism for the very rich and very
poor, and highly taxed/regulated (so-called) 'market' forces for everyone else.
DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance�not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
