Of course it's not odd to me because I have a modicum of understanding of how the world actually works.

Look how you've pivoted from targeting his diagnosis of socialism to targeting his prescriptions.

I'm traditionally a solutions-minded person. We have enough bellyaching rhetoric about how everything is messed up, what we need is solutions, not more and better descriptions for how fucked everything is. If you aren't proposing solutions to anything thing you aren't proposing anything - this should be obvious; and why I try to frame everything in the realm of provided solutions since it is what is needed.

So how are those different? What pivoting are you talking about? My review covers both Bastiat's diagnoses of the problem and the solutions he proposes.

That is mere apologism- and do you see how thoroughly conservative?

Could you clarify what you mean by that? I can interpret that to mean a variety of things, and I know how much Libs relish being vague.
