When you sell your transportation, fuel, and even water to private companies, everything becomes "other people's money." And those people take their money out of the country. Following Thatcher's own logic, why would they share with you or anyone else? It's their water and they can do with it as they see fit! Are you some kind of communist who demands drinking water?

You stupid nigger you already have communism except they distribute all your money to ((((((the bankers))))) Instead of Americans

Your fed collects about 5tn in taxes. 5% of your 40tn debt (your bond yield now) is 2tn, 1tn goes to the military and 1.9tn goes to ((them)) directly in the form of your medical which is marked up 10,000% by you know who.

This leaves all of America 0.1tn to run the most powerful country on the planet. If you can't spend less than that your debt goes up and your usuary eats even more of your country.

And that's before you look at the gigantic sums of money your communist government just straight gives to (((them))).

They will never understand this no matter how much you explain to them. They unironically believe that currency issuing governments are borrowing money to fund their operations. They think that debt and deficits for a currency issuing government are the same as debts for households.

When the currency was gold backed then it was like that. Fiat currency was introduced in the US in 1971, not long before Thatcher came to power in 1979. However, in the UK the pound became fiat in 1931 due to the war and fucking 1797 for individuals meaning they couldn't convert the paper to gold.

For some benefit of the doubt in Thatcher and her generation's youth even the UK was gold backed currency and she may have kept same attitude by looking to the US as Brits tend to do and was a core part of her neoliberal ideology, but even by the time she ran for prime minister the US had left it too so she never updated her worldview, and why would she when this still works so well.

There is also the fact our currency is called pound of sterling (silver) which is hard to shake off people's mind. It can't be just paper.
>>
>>542482815
In fact, the US may have copied the UK's idea for fiat currency. If London can do it why can't we? But our politics reflects the opposite and we're still using shillings and sixpences to keep the hot water on.

The neoliberal virus was a very successful propaganda campaign which convinced the general public that the freedom for businesses to do whatever they wanted was a prerequisite for their own personal freedom, and the government has no obligation to provide anything of use. Thus, the public became convinced that public institutions were bad, and privatization was the way in which their own lives would be free. Of course, it didn’t work out that in practice.

Also a bit funny to see modern republicans screeching for 5,000 dollar handouts and fighting for flippant, widespread punitive tariffs considering that Thatcher and Reagan would’ve found these reprehensible

There was no freedom for businesses to do what they wanted.

1. Could they use gold or silver as a form of currency? No, they must pay taxes in dollars, they must use an FDIC/Fed approved bank (fractional reserve only). That means when the fed injects trillions of dollars into its 24 primary dealer banks (between 2008 and 2010 the fed printed 1.2 trillion new dollars on top of a money supply of 847 billion, and injected them through these primary dealers, in order to "save the economy") all businesses are forced to deal with the constantly rising prices.
2. Do businesses have any social freedom? No, they are forced to hire blacks, women, gays, and if they deviate they'll get sued out of existence by the government. They are also forced to accept these and others as customers.

Reagan and Thatcher shouldn't be the gold standard for conservatism, you clod.
>>
>>542485882
There are degrees of freedom, and businesses were largely unleashed under neoliberal ideology. Stock buybacks were relegalized, restrictions were loosened for Savings and Loans, federal overhead was minimized, and mergers became rampant across the board; this all largely coincided with financialization of everything, and why companies like GE started to make more money via moving money around and consequently stopped investing in their people or products. I mean, you can complain about the fact that businesses have to pay taxes on their transactions, and that these transactions must be done in a currency accepted by both parties, but those are minimal restrictions in comparison to what we’re talking about here.

Running out of fiat money is one of the biggest jokes ever invented.

Liberals who believe they need to tax the wealthy in order for the government to "have" money to spend on things they want it to spend on are just reinforcing the same false narrative from the other end. The core point of the controlled argument is to obscure from the general public a very simple and obvious truth: we have an elastic money supply.

The problem with the system isnt that theres too much freedom, its that theres not enough. If a bank wants to throw away all of its depositors money on fruit stands in saudi arabia then let it. It is up to the depositors to make a decision who to invest in. The problem is currently we have a banking cartel that tightly controls who is allowed to have a bank. That forces everyone to use these horrible irresponsible banks that are, in cooperation with the fed, debasing the dollar by multiplying it every decade. No one is allowed to use currency that is free from this kind of behavior, like gold or silver, to pay taxes, and to own a bank you need to meet stiff demands from the fed. Look up the narrow bank, a bank which was started as a social experiment to try and earn a profit through interest alone. (A narrow portfolio instead of a wide portfolio). Whereas normal banks take all of depositors' money and invest it into all sorts of wild schemes, the narrow bank would have just put their money into the fed.

>A narrow bank takes deposits and invests only in interest-paying reserves at the Fed. A narrow bank cannot fail unless the US Treasury or Federal Reserve fails. A narrow bank cannot lose money on its assets. It cannot suffer a run. If people want their money back, they can all have it, instantly. A narrow bank needs essentially no asset risk regulation, stress tests, or anything else.

Well, guess what. Not only are there steep monetary requirements to open a bank, but it also has to get FDIC insurance approval by the fed. And the fed demands you have a plan for how you are going to invest your deposits profitably. So, the fed refused to allow the narrow bank to open.

In other words, if a bank doesn't wildly spend its deposits on the economy, the fed will shut it down. The fed is a cartel which forces american banks to operate as fractional reserve banks, investing all of your savings into businesses.
>>
>>542485956
Why the fuck would businesses want a form of currency which isn't rapidly losing value constantly and projected to be worth 1/100th of its current value in a century?

To save? To avoid penetration of their markets by unsavory counterfeiters who can buy up entire industries by pressing the 0 button on their computer a bunch of times?

Who gives a shit about the debt? It's higher it's ever been and we have less services and poorer quality services, and pay much more tax proportionally, than we did when she entered government. The problem is that the government is supposed to be printing debt (that will be paid off) to make the country better, not making the country worse to pay for debt.
>>
>>542487814
The way modern "capitalism" works is basically banks/the government have an infinite money button which they use to buy as much labor as they want, and the government ensures that no one can avoid this system by for instance using a different form of currency or refusing to allow such actors into local economies.

We should be voting people in based on the country's needs, but instead we have multiple neoliberal parties.

Strangely, even the Green party was neoliberal - green lib dems, warmongering and Zionist, but pretending to care about the environment, hating independence-securing nuclear power while grudgingly accepting oil for their US masters), before a mix of social conservatives and the leftovers of Corbyn's movement took it over. It was very funny to see them in the back, seething as the masses voted to make anti-Zionism party policy.

I hope it turns out well, and without Corbyn breathing down their neck, they don't have to pretend to give a shit about LGBT or any of the other crap. They're already asking about nuclear power, so it's possible.

>>542487371
We are not in any sort of dispute about the banking cartel run by the Fed; we are in agreement there. That being said, if businesses and banks had even MORE freedom to collude, with no government restrictions in terms of any antitrust laws, you would end with a monopolization worse than what we have now. Regulation is not always the answer, but the demonization of every kind of regulation by neoliberal doctrine is exactly why we’ve ended up with such a suffocating environment for businesses.
>>
>>542487947
this isn't really true. the government doesn't actually care what private parties settle transactions in. they demand payment of taxes in the currency they issue, which is why parties under the administration of said government primarily want that currency. all the other reasons flow from that.
>>
>>542488198
The reason "neoliberal" parties dominate is because parties require money and attention and government permission. Not only are most parties that favor a nationalist position illegal in most of europe due to hate speech laws, theyre functionally illegal in the US because any member will be fired from their workplace due to civil rights laws. Secondly, since all of societys communications are run through the media, non "neoliberal" organizations are strictly shunned. A decades old contrarian party with hundreds of members might as well not exist while yesterday's neoliberal alternative with 2 members is being broadcast by the media to all around as if it's the most important thing in the world. Especially bad in places like germany with a state run media. Thirdly, since the "neoliberals" are the financial system, they have infinite money to buy up as many institutions, schools, media, politicians, judges, elections, etc that they want. It all ultimately comes down to finance and a parasite class who uses finance as the tool to direct society, which we can see a lot of looking at John Maynard Keynes and other proponents of a command economy. Bankers and politicians have infinite money which they use to direct society, like they did in ww1 and ww2.
>>
>>542488391
That is exactly why the government took a ton of steps after the civil war to make other forms of currency nonviable. For example, the crime of 1873, silver losing its legal tender status. Then gold becoming illegal in 1933 and finally nonexchangeable in 1871. While also forcing everyone into a banking system which allows them to generate infinite federal reserve notes. The whole point of the income tax and property tax systems is that it makes it impossible to even live in america without a steady stream of federal reserve notes. Which a man must get through one of the 24 primary lenders that receive those notes from the fed. Thus making every man in the economy a servant of the banks.

Silver was at the behest of the East coast banking establishment because they had gold.

As for all of your other stuff, yes, that's the point of money: to provision the government. It's to bring resources out of the private sector and into the public. How much? Well that's a political debate, but the mechanisms remain the same.

But yes, taxation is first and foremost to drive the money. The federal government doesn't need it for revenue.

History is full of governments debasing their currency out of desire for armies, public works, etc, etc. It is also full of economic collapses. It is a prosperous and free society with a stable currency and a culture of economic thrift and saving that creates a powerful government. It is a society of bums and criminals that causes the collapse of a society. The government's shortsighted desire for control (which makes sense in the immediate context of, for example, WW2) has led to the collapse of personal economics and personal ethics across our civilization, which are the foundations of society.

Yes, but history also is full of misconceptions about what money is and what gives it value. The truth is that nothing I say is ever going to convince a goldbug that the value of their favorite metal is in reality only tangibly connected to the industrial and chemical processes that require it to produce other goods, services, and materials. For them, they are never going to accept that the value attached to their favorite metal sitting in vaults and shaped into jewelry is illusory. So really, goldbugs and libertarians are best just ignored; let them play with their action figures in the corner.

You cannot have a society that punishes savers and lenders and rewards spenders and borrowers. The fundamental root of prosperity has been violated. The reason why goldbugs like gold and silver is because of their comparative neutrality. The inflation caused by more advanced mining techniques is both scant and neutral compared to the inflation enabled by money printers. To say nothing of the ramifications of national fiat currencies. Think of the benefits a metal currency would have on our current outsourcing crisis, when our currency stops being arbitrarily worth 20x as much as that of India's, thus allowing our own industries a fair chance at competing. There are plenty of practical benefits to choosing officially stamped metal instead of officially stamped paper or (worse) officially programmed computer programs. The major point here is to avoid any one party having massive amounts of power over everyone else.

The retirement meme is a bit of a meme, if you think about it. The beginning is all dramatic n shitz but let's be real, the children are always the parents' slaves, just like their children will become their slaves and so on and on. Now the oldies have retirements, but in the past, the kids had to take care of them. So who was the slave back then? All you fucks had to do, was keep a stable 2.1 birth rate, and this system could easily have worked.
