"I suggested that free-market cheerleaders and Randroids might be happier in the collapsed, regulation-free mess that is the former USSR."<br> Once again, liberals attack a capitalism straw-man, rather than the real thing.<br> Capitalism requires a stable government to enforce contracts, punish criminals, etc.<br> These tasks are not "regulation" of an economy, it is defending individual rights.<br> A collapsed government is not regulation free, it is regulated by whatever thug holds the guns this week, and that is not compatible with capitalsim.
