You know what, you're right! That must be why my Water Department is completely private, why the Police Department is completely private, why the United States Military is completely priv...oh wait.

Uhhh.... Not really sure what you are trying to say here, but it's undeniable that all of those are criminal institutions since they are financed by stolen money (i.e. tax dollars). Furthermore, all of those institutions are criminal monopolies astablished by the state. Again, the mere fact that they are using robbery instead of free exchange to finance their activities proves that they are detrimental to the human race. If they were providing value, they wouldn't have to survive on robbery; people would be willing to pay for their services voluntarily. Again, just basic economics.

*I'm* a "National Socialist" because I simply want the United States to be energy independent

No youre a National Socialist because you subscribe to the tenets of National Socialism. Namely, that people ought to be ordered around by the National government at gun point.

Fuck everyone and everyone should be out for themselves, is that your "plan"?

I am talking about freedom. You are the one who is talking about forcing people to bend to YOUR WILL through brutal acts of terrorism. Just because you don't have the courage to put a gun to their head directly and instead have to hide behind a voting booth and an army of armed thugs does not make you less of a sociopath, just more of a coward. It's clear that one of us is a psychotic with an anti-social personality disorder, but it isn't me.

A couple of things:

1. I'm pretty sure the C in OPEC stands for countries, so OPEC is nothing but government price controls.

2. Cut in production does not necessarily mean shortages. It only means shortages when there are price controls in place by the government and prices are not allowed to adjust to equilibrium with the new level of supply and demand. But that's ok. I'm sure it had absolutely NOTHING to do with the draconian price controls implemented by the US government in the early 1970s.

I'm sure National Socialists like yourself who want to exert dictatorial control over other peoples lives don't like to hear this, but there are no shortages in free markets, there are only accurate prices.

You are right about one thing though: price controls, like every other government action, are acts of aggressive violence and do constitute and act of war.
