Found an article about the book that inspired this hot take Karl Marx vs. Henry George quote:In Neo-classical Economics as a Stratagem Against Henry George (2007), University of California economist Mason Gaffney argues that George and his Land Value Tax pose a far greater threat than Marx to America’s corporate elite. America’s enormous concentration of wealth has always depended on the inherent right of the wealthy elite to seize and monopolize vast quantities of land and natural resources (oil, gas, forests, water, minerals, etc) for personal profit. Adopting an LVT, which is far easier than launching a violent revolution, would essentially negate that right. What’s more, every jurisdiction that has ever implemented an LVT finds it works exactly the way George predicted it would. Productivity, prosperity, and social wellbeing flourish, while inflation, wealth inequality, and boom and bust recessions and depressions virtually vanish. quote:In Neo-classical Economics, Gaffney reveals that this backlash took two main forms. The first was the Red Scare (1919-1989), overseen by J Edgar Hoover as Assistant Attorney General and later as FBI director. The second was more insidious and involved the deliberate reframing of the classical economic theory developed by Adam Smith, Locke, Hume, and Ricardo as so-called neoclassical economics. The latter totally negates Adam Smith’s basic differentiation between “land”, a limited, non-producible resource. and “capital”, a reproducible result of past human production. Smith, Locke, Hume, and Ricardo all held that individuals have no right to seize and monopolize scarce natural resources, such as land, minerals, water, and forests. They believed that because these resources are both limited and essential for human survival, they should belong to the public. Georgism has enjoyed somewhat of a minor meme resurgence online recently, but funny how there was a book that preceded that which claims it was suppressed by a conspiracy from Big Landlord.

Hi, I'm a monarchist AMA. In my defence I live in New Zealand and I'm convinced the adoption of a republican constitution will inevitably turn out worse than how things are now. And the monarchy costs us like $3-10 million a year. It's not like I think it's the ideal form of government.

John Charity Spring posted:how would a new zealand republic be worse Probably have a president. Even if not I'm sure it would be screwed up somehow, probably on purpose, to the benefit of fuckwit politicians. It almost certainly wouldn't be better. We spent $26 million on a referendum for a new flag 5 years ago where the popular voice was completely ignored. I'm sure the process for changing something that matters would cost way more and be even more shaped by those in power.

Archduke Frantz Fanon posted:you should keep the monarchy but have a rotating one like malaysia's system with the maori cheifs It could work. One of the problems with abolishing the monarchy is that the founding document of the country, the treaty of waitangi, is between the crown and various tribes. The fact this would actually make a difference to anything is the reason we shouldn't be part of Australia.

In some ways iirc this is literally how it works, like with the Holy See.
