i'm not sure if my views are self contradictory.

Tnu1138

I need help figuring this out i'm fiscally conservative and favor less regulation and state intervention in the market and yet at the same time i'm against corporatism, Crony capitalism, and state capitalism favoring the laissez faire system. so in essence i'm against governmetn and corporations? does this contradict itself?

Whoever said that you have to be completely consistent clearly doesn't understand human nature

Tnu1138

yes but it's important to me to be completely consistant i need help on understanding this.

^x3 Perhaps not. Vaclev Havel wrote a play bashing both big government and big business as being oppressive, dehumanizing, and arbitrary.

Tnu1138

reading about this guy a little i'm really starting to like him.

That is contradictory. You're either for oppressive, totalitarian government or for soulless, corporate greed.

Stormtroper

Tnu1138

Stormtroper

Vadlec Havel complains about big government huh?

Well, I guess if you can't work to fix something, complaining about it is a good second? (not really)

Tnu1138
