Interesting article on the problems being faced by normal people in California. It's long but it spells out how marxism has all but destroyed the state's economy and how the leftists keep on trying more socialist programs while expecting different results.

It's a good example on how completely screwed up leftists really are.

I always like the Reagan comment that leftist aren't evil, they just believe a whole lot of stuff that isn't true...

Since California isn't run by workers, very little is nationalised, the economy is based on capitalist wealth accumulation, and it's governed by a conservative, then the chances of it being Marxist are slim to none.

Nice to see you again, garyd.

California is a defacto Socialist state. That is in simple terms a species of fascist state in which the government doesn't own companies out right but controls then at almost every turn through a thorough going nearly limitless number of rules and regulations enforced mostly at whimand which are changed seemingly at random and whose sole pupose seems to be the slow castration of these same businesses that are the lifeblood of the state.Only leftsit have the nerve to brag about killing the golden goose after the fact.

No it isn't.

No, it's not.

That's not either the goal of socialism or fascism.

It isn't but that is what you will get whether you want it or not.

Yes, California's recent troubles have had very little to do with the capitalist fucking-up of the finance industry and, consequently, the world.

[garyd]

Since Califonia's trouble began before the government finally managed to kill the finanacial industry they cannot be legitimately said to have much if anything to do with it.

The whole economic collapse caused by "free market" capitalist policies and deregulation hasn't affected California 'much'? How's that work?

[garyd]

California was in a downward slide before it began and would have continued so without it.

There was no real deregulation. REplacing one set of regs with another set of regs is not deregulation. And it was the failure to enforce existing regs that allow companies to become to big to fail.
