    But the funny thing is; they don't want to live with you. You think they would want that because Saakashvili shelled Chinvali, throwing everything you've got at them? S. Ossetia and Abkhazia are lost...

    I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but the US should realize who they are supporting.

    Russian peacekeepers were in South Ossetia with an internationally backed mandate, if you'd like to admit it or not. When Saakashvili attacked South Ossetia with all his military capabilities, even...

    What legal right did the US have to invade Afghanistan and trying to occupy it? Double standards, once again.
  • The official number is now 1492 dead Ossetians...

    The official number is now 1492 dead Ossetians (counted). My question to you is: Have you even seen Chinvali? Most people can't even find it on a map, yet they go talking this nonsense that it isn't...

    It's actually not just a part of their country seceding, it's 2 regions where there are only a few Georgians, where the majority of population has Russian passports, speaks Russian, belongs to a...

    It's actually very simple. Since the "Saakashvili revolution", Georgia has expanded its military budget by a wide margin and since he always claimed his goal was territorial integrity, it was obvious...

    Cuba?? The gap in Russia started growing during the early nineties when the privatization started.

    Far from it! It's not based on some oversimplified "ceteris paribus" assumptions!

    1) Sweezy's and Baran's model is far from being a simplistic model and is still perfectly valid after 50 years or so. What they said simply turned out to be true. I highly suggest you at least take a...

    Wiki Balassa-Samuelson effect... My explanation would be a bit different, I'd say that if you're producing at more than 100 %, inflation is inevitable. But since real life economics is not textbook...

    1) Of course it leads to concentration and usually centralization of capital! Take a look at the numbers! If I remember correctly, somebody posted Sweezy's kinked demand curve a couple of pages back....

    1) A monopoly is one thing (perfectly legal), abusing it is another. Look at the latest Intel case.

    2) First of all, you don't need to sell bonds to foreign governments. Secondly, you could...

    I don't know what rupples is, but once again, you cannot compare them, because the Soviet GDP didn't include the service sector, which is, in Marxist views, unproductive. That "brief" excursion in...

    Aaaah, thanks for presenting the facts so clearly! It seems to me you're unaware what concentration and centralization of capital is. You don't need to read Marx to realize that.

    The hyper-inflation in Germany in 1920s is a result of WW1 and has nothing to do with fiat currency. Years later there was no more hyper-inflation and Germany still had fiat currency. Or take a look...
