There is less of that since 1980, not more.
You're the one who's always hallucinating about this stuff.
I notice nobody cares to contradict this.
Can you defend the Austrian school?
It is characteristic of the Austrian school to exclude reality from consideration. It's explicitly non-empirical.
That would be Marx, not the Austrian school.
Marxism at least pays lip-service to empiricism. The reason why Das Kapital is so impenetrably dull is that it's clogged with contemporary economic facts. But the Austrian school expressly rejects empiricism and reasons from first principles.
It is not delusional to recognize that classes have conflicting interests.
Of course it is.
That is a lie -- we've seen often enough by now that a rising tide does not lift all boats.
Do you really think the Reagan Revolution was about increasing regulation of business?!
No but I think the Democrats since then have been and have.
The Pubs have been in power enough since 1980 to get their way most of the time.
You know it's true.
It's literally not.
The Pubs held the WH 1981-93, 2001-09, 2017-21.
Yes, and since 1981 - 44 years - the Dems have had full control (the presidency and both houses of Congress) for a grand total of six of those years: 1993-95, 2009-11, and 2021-2023. To say the Republicans haven't had the upper hand is just absurd.
