Aspies For Freedom

Like me ;]

I would like to find out if there are actually any Aspies with my mindset, if there isn't clearly I don't belong here.

Depends how you define "capitalist".

"Makin tha monies for mah honies"

Yes, I see but is there any place in this world for unions and workers' rights?

If properly ran and moderated Tongue

Unions ruined the British Motor Industry you know. (and poor management ;p)

Hell the British Union leaders were going up to Moscow now and then to recieve "orders" apparently, this was in the 1970s.

Now where's the fun in that? ;]

I've considered combining the Capitalist Economic system with a Authoritarian Political system, but I dunno ;p

It's all academic of course, some could argue that my above proposition is probably what USA practices this century lol.

Capitalist systems are alright as long as there are some checks and balances to ensure that consumers aren't ripped off and that workers are treated properly by their bosses.

I treat my friends properly, are workers somehow different? ;]

In some businesses, the workers and the bosses aren't friends with each other.

Well I wouldn't be friends with my workers.

BUT I would treat them as friends. Tongue

A contradiction I know, but then I myself am a contradiction ;]

People tend to work themselves to death under capitalism but I guess at least they have some choice in the matter whereas they might not under socialism.

Ideologies are for people who don't understand physics, math and geometry.

I haven't read all of the posts, but my question is how does a truth-loving Aspie deal with all of the lies required by advertising and marketing? I took a marketing class in college and it turned my stomach. And how does a justice-loving Aspie deal with the horrors of economics, where it is cheaper to pay off families of dead victims than to redesign a faulty product? (Ford Pinto for example, from the 1970s)

I wondered about that myself.
