This is worth repeating twice, in case people missed it. The irony would be funny if it weren't so damn catastrophic.
- eli_gottlieb 10y agoThere is no irony. They just wanted the centrally-planned oligarchy to be privately owned.
- omginternets 10y agoMaybe I was unclear: the irony is in the fact that the Republican party loves to appeal to the communist boogyman, all the while vying for a planned economy (albeit at the hands of private actors). This is ironic because much of their apparent hatred for socialism/communism stems from the idea that these lead to planned (i.e. non-free) economies.
