"Economic conservatives and classical liberals argue that social democracy interferes with market mechanisms and hurts the economy by encouraging large budget deficits and restricting the ability of entrepreneurs to invest as they see fit. Social democrats, committing the fallacy of argumentum ad hominem tu quoque, might respond to this argument by observing that conservative right-wing governments have also built up large budget deficits in recent years, notably the Reagan and Bush, Jr. administrations in the USA and the Thatcher government post-1987 in the UK. Classical liberals, following the work of Friedrich Hayek, Ludwig Von Mises and others, reject the characterization of these regimes as classically liberal in nature at all. Classical liberals also assert that what much of the left criticizes as capitalism is actually a state-mediated corporatist system, closer to fascism than free-market capitalism. The modern (American) liberal critique of social democracy is centred on its willingness to restrict the political and legal rights of the individual in favour of a perceived social good.

Hohoho! Jeg koser meg! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOND LATTER!

Skal bli spennende å se hvor lenge den står. Hehe. Tipper at det blir slettet og at det

kommer inn på discussion-siden etter hvert og av sosialdemokratene der blir

opptatt av å forsvare seg med nebb og klør mot anklagen. Snusfornuften lenge leve!

Skrell, skrell, skrell, skrell
