[p2p-research] Structural Unemployment... round #3527

[Ryan Lanham]

These are Misian versus utilitarian arguments.  That sort of market
utilitarianism isn't going to get much of a response here.  People feel it
is simply silly to keep refuting these things...rather like continually
refuting global warming skeptics and evolution skeptics.

The actual utilitarians would easily be with the P2P advocates I strongly
suspect...especially J.S. Mill.  The libertarians and Marxists who
bastardized Mill would be our enemies...always will be.  One side is blinded
by "markets" the other "equality."  Both are lies.
