The premises from which we begin are not arbitrary ones, not dogmas, but real premises from which abstraction can only be made in the imagination. They are the real individuals, their activity and the material conditions under which they live, both those which they find already existing and those produced by their activity. These premises can thus be verified in a purely empirical way.The first premise of all human history is, of course, the existence of living human individuals.  Thus the first fact to be established is the physical organisation of these individuals and their consequent relation to the rest of nature.

Wasn't this quote from that guy that helped set up the Adam Smith Institute?

It is dishonest to oppose this position while having moderators with clear intentions and mandates to prevent an opinion

Can someone tell me what this opinion is that we have been mandated to prevent? Must have missed that memo..

Thanks that looks good.I'm also looking for thing which chart the development of forms of private party and the arguments used to justify them, particularly the development of capital as a form of private property.

Well if that where the case the question still remains, why then do banks go bust and why is there an interbank market (surely it's cheaper to magic up your own money than to borrow others).The trouble with this kind of analysis is that it uses "money" in the broadest sense and in so looses the distinction between assetts and liabilities…

Of course we recognise the importance of twitter, and we also monitor how many visits the site gets via that and all other channels.See here:https://twitter.com/OfficialSPGBYou are free to use Twitter however you like…. I just tried to explain to you why creating duplicate content on the website is a bad idea, that's all. I know you think I'm an evil scientist forum technocrat that is trying to oppress you but that is not the case…

Ballots where secret until a few years ago, this is just a reversion to how things where…

We don't want to create a duplicate of the website on the forum because dupliclate content is bad for search engine optimisation and for the quality of the site in general.Comments about website content really should go in the "comments" section, not general discussion anyhow.If you want to comment on content, even if it is just to say "please tweet and share this it's great",  do so by using the "comment" button at the bottom of each page and a thread in the forum will be automatically created.If you want to share articles it will be more effeiceint if you share the original link.If you provide me with the details of any shares you do on twitter I can look at the analytics and see if any are resulting in return visits or click backs…

Why this "David Dundale" guy thinks he has to set up a new account every time he posts is beyond me…
