the replacements used to do this a lot, they'd play shows in the middle of nowhere, half the audience rednecks, half punk fans. they'd play country classics until the punks got upset and went home, then they'd switch to the hardest punk they could muster until the rednecks got upset and went home.

I also like how they're all reacting to that prodigalsam guy stealing twitter jokes by harassing him for weeks and basically acting like he should face a war crimes tribunal.

and the Market Process
Mark Thornton
Mises Institute
The profitability thesis provides one resolution to this contradic-
tion by accepting the Civil War as a political solution for a market-
created problem of slavery. According to this revisionist thinking,
America's bloodiest and most destructive conflict becomes the solu-
tion to the vexing problem of the morally intolerable institution of
slavery.6
This paper offers an alternative explanation of the profitability
of slavery that is consistent with traditional history and economic
theory. This explanation, based on economic theory, finds the prof-
itability thesis wrong where it is relevant and irrelevant where it
is correct. This explanation disputes the implications that slavery
and the slave trade are market phenomena and that slavery was
"profitable." Slavery is found to be theoretically and historically a
political institution incapable of existing in open-market competi-
tion.'
Slavery is demonstrated to have survived in the antebellum
South, not because of the market, but because political forces pre-
vented the typical decay and destruction of slavery experienced
elsewhere.... State slave codes restricted and prevented the market-based
method of emancipation and therefore precluded a general emanci-
pation of slaves. More precisely, two typical state statutes that sig-
nificantly reduced the private costs of slavery are shown to have been
largely ignored, thereby propagating the impression of slavery's effi-
ciency. Specifically, slave patrol statutes socialized the costs of polic-
ing slavery and recapturing runaway slaves by drafting non-slave-
holders into slave patrols. Second, state statutes prohibited or effec-
tively restricted private manumission of slaves. Combined with stat-
utes that prevented immigration, required emigration, and restricted
the movement and rights of free blacks, the slave codes significantly
reduced the costs and risks of the slave owner by reducing and
socializing the enforcement costs of slavery.'
6 Goldin in (1973, p. 84) argues that the war was not a cost-effective emancipation
mechanism. However, this justification was established after the fact (when costs tend
to matter less) and may well be responsible for the substantial popularity of this
revisionist view (also see Goldin and Lewis 1975).
7 The market should be understood to be a separate and distinct phenomenon from
government. "Capitalism" refers to the entire social system that consists of a market
economy that is subjected to government intervention. Understanding the results of
capitalism therefore requires that the effects of the market process be isolated from the
effects of the political process.
tl;dr Socialism == Slavery

A characteristic fact. In August this year, after the plenum of the Central Committee and Central Control Commission, Trotsky and Zinoviev sent in a statement that they wanted to speak at a meeting of the Moscow active if the Central Committee had no objection. To this the Central Committee replied (and the reply was circulated among the local organisations) that it had no objection to Trotsky and Zinoviev speaking at such a meeting, provided, however, that they, as members of the Central Committee, did not speak against the decisions of the Central Committee. What happened? They dropped their request. (General laughter.)
