Then we'd be screwed. The economic relationship between "metropolis" and "country" is
slanted and will ultimately
destroy the small farmers. In the free market, the playing field isn't level, and the
concentration of wealth will become
more extreme until corporations control everything.
Libertarians think socialists are taking over the world, but they'll wake up to a
world owned totally by corporations. I still
can't figure out what's libertarian about that. In the world as I perceive it,
socialists control very little; corporations control
most.

Do you even believe that someone can seriously and sincerely be a socialists? You
don't seem it. You're acting more
like an orthodox Libertarian throwing the word "socialism" around to shame the us
heretics.
