It is expensive I suppose, easily 100 figures in an "army" of mostly pewter figs. There's also a science fiction version of the game. I'll? present the "Sisters of Battle" in my next video if I can figure out a soundtrack. Harmless entertainment.

Liberty, Democracy, & Monetary Reform Posted by: etzel33 Video duration: 784 seconds My first power point video, laying out a policy tree that I use when arguing politics.

By: magister343. on 31 Dec 11, 03:08:38 The state should have no right to regulate movement (of people or goods) over its borders beyond that necessary for public safety. Protectionism is harmful. Tariffs in general are rights violations, although port fees to cover safety inspections are acceptable. Income taxes are rights violations. Wealth taxes on all property protected by the state are fine. Land Value Taxes are the most just taxes. Taxes on negative externalities are good, but arbitrary? federal, state, or local taxes are not.

By: etzel33. on 03 Apr 12, 12:50:12 most people see this as a sci-fi action movie about blasting bug-aliens. that's why I did this video, to splice out the political context that Heinlein argued.

By: jarvy251. on 06 Feb 12, 22:45:54 @TheForwardGaze The book is very different from the movie. The recruiting videos presented in the movie? would never exist in the society outlined in the book. People were strongly discouraged from volunteering for federal service (not necessarily military, but you had no choice as to the nature of it), and were under extreme pressure to quit if they joined. But it was your right to volunteer, they could not turn you away no matter how physically disabled you were. I can see your ... By: TheForwardGaze. on 17 Jan 12, 19:43:44 I can see your point about a balance of power. I'd include the idea of mutual assured destruction regarding nuclear weapons. The U.S. may be the best example of trying to maintain a large military industrial complex that? doesn't result in militarism. But as the world's strongest military power we do overstep, especially in the pursuit of commercial interests disguised as national security interests. Are you in support of international military parity, including the U.S.? that's an? ... By: etzel33. on 17 Jan 12, 19:36:49 that's an? interesting point. I think my point ... By: TheForwardGaze. on 17 Jan 12, 19:33:55 I think my point was that before WWII America wasn't militaristic but, like other liberal democracies, (eg.,? Britain, Canada, Australia, etc.) was able to quickly become militaristic in order to counter the threat of fascist imperialism. The inability to wage an effective war was one of fascism's criticisms of liberal democracy. As it turned out, the militaristic Soviet Union was probably what really destroyed fascism. Perhaps we can separate militarism from preparedness. those are good ... By: etzel33. on 12 Jan 12, 13:33:17 those are good points too. Foreign policy is something I've been trying to tackle as noted in my latest? blog. I've been isolationist for decades, and I remain anti-imperialism. But there are issues to consider, issues of world peace and happy stuff like that :) Jesus, the US just keeps pushing our world to the brink. That can't be right. "A large? military ... By: Gnomefro. on 12 Jan 12, 13:24:43 "A large? military makes war more likely." Not really. What makes war likely is that there is an imbalance? of military strength that makes it economically viable to just take your neighbors stuff, and if all armies are small, military strength will be synonymous with amount of people. Countries should have whatever sized army makes sense compared to what their neighbors do. The biggest problem with a large standing army is that it's a huge economic drain. "Generally, ... By: Gnomefro. on 12 Jan 12, 13:21:58 "Generally, militarism isn't a good thing (eg., fascism), which was defeated by liberal democracies in WWII" It's unlikely that anyone would have ever intervened if it wasn't for the fact that the Axis happened to be rampant? imperialists as well. The appeasement policy to avoid dealing with them went on for years on end. Is your point that liberal democracy is inherently stronger than militarism btw? If so you may want to look at the numeric superiority involved. I? understand that ... By: etzel33. on 29 Dec 11, 22:03:32 I? understand that it's required reading at West Point and other academies. My concern over Heinlein, and Asimov, is that it seems to present a utopian view of fascism. The idea of "citizenship" though is interesting, and Heinlein's vision is certainly plausible, perhaps imminent. thanks for the ...

By: TheForwardGaze. on 21 Nov 11, 06:03:29 Well, I always thought this film was a bit incomplete, politically. I didn't read Heinlein's book. Generally, militarism isn't a good thing (eg., fascism), which was defeated by liberal democracies in WWII, the same type of political systems criticized by the book? and film, and the fascists. But then liberal democracies can become militaristic during times of war and, like the U.S., can have military industrial complexes and very limited democracy. A large military makes war more likely.
