Comments on: Socialism, Not Capitalism, to Blame for High Oil Prices http://blog.heritage.org/2008/07/30/socialism-not-capitalism-to-blame-for-high-oil-prices/ Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:01:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: rainerirrsinn http://blog.heritage.org/2008/07/30/socialism-not-capitalism-to-blame-for-high-oil-prices/#comment-50384 rainerirrsinn Fri, 21 Aug 2009 20:52:30 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/2008/07/30/socialism-not-capitalism-to-blame-for-high-oil-prices/#comment-50384 as long as we depend on international capitalistic concepts such as the oil-price, selling to the highest bidder, which is in a logical conclusion the most exploitent states such as the USA and the EU (and China furthermore) we can never emancipate our socialist solidarity from these states as we most depend on their goodwill to pay us the highest price. By pure Logic you can tell us that this is leading us nowhere but into higher dependancy on the states which we, in common sense would assume to be the mother of so much socio-economic suffering in our part of the globe. Isn't there a more noble and better way to get around? as long as we depend on international capitalistic concepts such as the oil-price, selling to the highest bidder, which is in a logical conclusion the most exploitent states such as the USA and the EU (and China furthermore) we can never emancipate our socialist solidarity from these states as we most depend on their goodwill to pay us the highest price.

They're days are numbered. You can't continue to blunder like they have and survive. They've moved so far to the anti-U.S. left that they've lost all credibility. But the news of these other countries governments commandeering their nations oil companies is great news for free world oil producers. Especially U.S. wildcatters/producers. Gov'ts running anything always means inefficiency and loss. So the 25% will easily out perform the 75%. And make tons of money doing it. With each country that nationalizes their oil industry, the competition pressure level goes down for the remaining free market companies. Thats a good thing, isn't it?

It is therefore only fitting and just that it should be used, as in an increasing number of countries like Bolivia, to try to fund the escape from poverty of a hitherto abused and dirt poor population before they are condemned to an eternal economic servitude. My heart bleeds for you. 'Soon there will be nowhere outside of the US and Western Europe where private oil can safely drill.' Except, not everyone lives in Western Europe and the US: just the majority of those who profit (or just benefit) from keeping lots of other people extremely poor. Perhaps it's time for a New Party style of politics again, methinks...just until the God-given natural order is reestablished.
