You are displaying how your blind "freedom values" ideology cripples your ability to comprehend plain english.
You haven't yet given one example of a Ozpol post of 'ideology'. The English word 'freedom' can't mean 'wealth'.
Er...the US Constitution's assertion of the existance of
'natural, inalienable, self-evident rights' IS an ideology - and it's delusional, as I have shown on other threads on Ozpol. (In short: 'individual rights' (in the Western tradition) are merely
desires, not some sort of natural law).
Indeed freedom is independent of wealth, who said otherwise?
The problem is
freemarket economic theory based on the freedom of self-interested individuals to compete in "efficient, invisible hand, free markets" without regard to the collective's well-being.
Hence the "right to pursue happiness".... duh - that's what we all desire; and Al Capone indulged in quite a bit of murder on the way to achieve the wealth he considered was synonymous with his own happiness .
Quote:You confuse Beijing's 'economic politics' with 'English language'.
No; and the error in your original silly assertion ("not one example of 'ideology' on Ozpol") again confirms why your ideological blindness renders you incapable of facing reality, eg "rights" are actually codification of desires, not some sort of natural law.
Quote:You also assume people here are fascinated by the reduction in China's poverty as the answer to all comments on China. You have triple errors, in post after boring nonsensical post.
More nonsense. Many people are "fascinated" by the 'Chinese miracle', and many 3rd world leaders want to emulate it.
But certainly not encompassing "all comments on China".....hyperbole to be expected from your crippled powers of comprehension.
