A good thing for whom or what?
If we assume the existence of the Abrahamic God who is in control of everything, why did He allow it to fall?
36:00 Capitalism is impossible without usury, isn't it? Jews are not supposed to practise usury on each other. Islam would ban usury and allow individuals and governments to default on their debts.
41:00 Fascism is the government enforcing laws you don't like, or is that Communism? Or is Fascism just a term of abuse when you are from the left complaining about your government?
The terms of debate have not been properly defined. Free trade/capitalism/crony capitalism etc.
45:00 Law, morality, libertarianism, Ayn Rand, traditional morality
Ultimately, we can only get our morality from a Higher Power, after we agree what morality means, of course. I define morality as a system of rules designed to keep the group together and apart from others. To this end, Judaism is the most effective, because it is divine ethno-nationalism. If I am right in this assessment, then Islam is divine civic nationalism.
47:00 Slavery is an institution, like marriage and prostitution. Slavery was not banned in either the Torah or the Koran.
50:00 "Marxism is dialectical."
52:00 Does China practise National Socialism without the antisemitism?
1:15:00 Slavery is an institution and institutions should be regulated, not criminalised, to protect the parties.
The problem was that Molly assumed that Communism meant totalitarian dictatorship and nothing Caleb said convinced him otherwise. I like to think that he and I would have a more productive discussion if the opportunity presents itself.
