Re: Is a Madmax outcome coming before 2020? Thus do we need anonymity?
Anonymint's pet theory that a good cull is what's needed for humans to evolve.
Vindictive noise is the antithesis of objective, rational inquiry.
How we get from the logical upthread point of top-down (socialism) induced failure by destroying chance & reducing entropy, to the blabalbber slanderous accusation can only be illogical emotions.
He is so clueless that he doesn't realize that the failure induced top-down (lower entropy) by socialism is what is destroying fitness and is the antithesis of the bottom-up (higher entropy), anarchistic free market I would prefer to obtain by eliminating the power vacuum of taxation.
The higher entropy of continuous localized failures (e.g. private bank runs in the 1800s) are much more fit due to continuous adaptation than the much reduced entropy of top-down delayed adaptation, e.g. with a central bank backstop that has enabled debt to grow to 200 year highs as admitted by the IMF this month.

One primary difference between former Communist countries and the West is critical to understand. BECAUSE they have no social nets, the people do not trust nor rely upon government. In the West, people depend on government for everything. In Ukraine, they can grow their own food and family units still take care of all members. In the West, the downside of socialism is that the children have not planned to take care of parents for that was the States job. Socialism has endorsed the me-me-me culture and that is the weakness for there is no self-reliance and society has been totally dependent. The risks in the West are actually far greater.
Regarding my point of the worse delayed failure of top-down (lower entropy) versus continuously annealed micro-failures adaptation of bottom-up (higher entropy):

While in the USA and Europe, this idea that banks have to be saved at all expense is quite absurd. Iceland let its banks fail and the collapse ended the process and a rebirth began. The same is true during the Great Depression. The collapse in the US share market was just 34 months and it was over. The more government gets involved, the worst it all becomes. Just look at Japan and you will see the price of government intervention. Europe is facing the same mistake and the EU Parliament is destroying the economy of Europe and there is no hope of preventing a massive depression just as we say in Japan. In the end, nobody will trust government again and the damage is profound for it typically lasts for a generation. Others are starting to notice this trend as well, albeit perhaps not articulated so bluntly.
I was predicting that outcome many years ago when Iceland defaulted and refused to pay.
Btw, many people don't know there was a deep depression in 1919 in USA, because it was over by 1921 because everything was allowed to fail and the government (and central bank) did not backstop and prevent the failures.
