large topics

• austerity
• capitalism
  • "Capitalism has brought about the greatest advancement of humans in human history." [5]
• freedom
  • Too much freedom for one means too little freedom for others.
  • Sometimes, restrictions give you more freedom. (Would you rather play frisbee near a cliff-edge with a safety fence, or without one?)
  • "You want more freedom, don't you?" ...said the fox to the chickens.
  • Freedom to become enslaved
  • Marketism/freedom
• socialism
  • "Utopian socialism doesn't work, it can't." [6]
  • Myths/socialism leads to poverty
  • Meaningless insults/socialism
• natural rights: a popular free-marketist idea
  • sanest explanation offered so far is that natural rights are those rights which are necessary for a civilization to be sustainable
  • broader discussion of "rights" probably belongs in Issuepedia
  • I typed up a summary in a comment here
• political ideologies (as opposed to political parties)
