| Message | Again, NeoLiberal Capitalism has proven far more effective and as of right now is THE BEST system of political economy on the planet. The bleeding heart inside of us longs for socialist policies that protect the poor, but neoliberalism is the best way to help the poor PROTECT THEMSELVES. Like I said, I actually have well-researched reasoning and logic behind my madness. |
