Let the Celebrations Begin in the People’s Republic of California!

Congratulations to the comrades of the People’s Republic of California! You have successfully destroyed another greedy capitalist oppressor. Not only is this business no longer going to oppress and abuse the long suffering comrades of California, in this case the capitalist swine was not able to simply skip away to another state and continue with his filthy capitalist activities. NO, THIS BUSINESS HAS BEEN DESTROYED! This is something worth celebrating!

About fafc

The goal of the “Find a Free Country Project” is to research, explore and find a safe and secure free country outside the USA, that is not too large, has a relatively open immigration policy, has a friendly business climate, has a non-intrusive government committed to freedom, and then move to it.

    California sounds a lot like Croatia, mindless regulation after mindless regulation meant to punish the people who actually work for a living.

    California in revolt: how the “progressive” state plans to foil the Trump agenda: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jan/11/california-resistance-trump-cannabis-immigration-environment

    California really is the worst American state.

    • fafc says:

      I wish they would just get on with CalExit… and take Oregon and Washington too. And while you are at it New York, the North East and Chicago. I might go back to whats left then.

      • Croatian Capitalist says:

        Yes, I too occasionally daydream about all of the leftist loons leaving Croatia, but sadly that is not going to happen, neither in Croatia, nor in America.

  3. Croatian Capitalist says:

    California is overdue a major earthquake that could kill millions and there may be no warning before it hits, warns top geophysicist: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5333847/California-overdue-major-earthquake.html

    Yet another reason to avoid California.

  5. fafc says:

    I am all for it. Then Texas could secede, perhaps with Oklahoma and few neighboring states.

    • Croatian Capitalist says:

      I too am for every still sane part of America seceding from the USA, but somehow I don’t just see them being allowed to leave the union, and that is assuming that the majority of people in those states would even support the idea of secession from the USA.

      • fafc says:

        I don’t think the issue is being allowed. The truth of the matter is there is not desire inside Texas and other places. It hasn’t got bad enough. By the time it does it will be too late. As for being allowed, I really don’t think there is any stomach in keeping the USA in one piece to the point of fighting over it. Who is going to march on Texas? People from California, NYC, or Chicago?

  6. Croatian Capitalist says:

    Maybe you are right, now that I think about it, Texas leaving the USA would actually be in the interest of the leftists in the rest of the USA, since with Texas out of the way they would more or less have the national elections in the bag (especially since I assume “liberals” would flee en masse from Texas prior to it’s independence, while conservatives from the rest of the USA would move to Texas en masse).

  7. Croatian Capitalist says:

    But the problem isn’t just Texas, I don’t see an interesting realistic independence movement anywhere, Quebec if it left Canada would be no better than a united Canada currently is, Catalonia would be even worse than Spain, Flanders would be a little better than Belgium, but still nothing worth considering, Wallonia would probably be more or less the same as Belgium, any part of France that seceded would likely keep the socialist economic policies of France, Scotland would be (far) worse than the UK, etc., none of those potential new countries are places which I would see myself living in.

    • fafc says:

      Yes, if we are going to find a “free country” we are either going to have to find one that already exists, or create one from nothing.

      • Croatian Capitalist says:

        Yes, and since there is no large unclaimed plot of land available for founding a new country, the already existing ones are the only realistic option, but it’s very hard to guess the future properly, as I mentioned already on another “post”, if we were having this discussion 50 years ago, California would be in my top 5 picks for a bright future, but look at it now, it’s an unfunny joke of a place, plus it’s not just about the countries/states themselves, you also have to look at their neighbourhood, take Singapore for example, it might be a good country on it’s own, but in the event of some major crisis I really wouldn’t want to be stuck in a city-state that neighbors Malaysia and Indonesia, and then you have the supranational entities such as the EU, so for example Poland might be going in the right direction on it’s own, but that doesn’t mean the the EU won’t end up ruining it, etc., thus unlike in that hypothetical 50 years ago scenario, in our current reality I wouldn’t be so confident with my predictions.

        • fafc says:

          In 50 years I will be dead.

          • Croatian Capitalist says:

            Not if regenerative medicine really takes off as Aubrey de Grey (a biomedical gerontologist at Cambridge University) expects it to, but that is another topic.

            My point was/is that 50 years ago California was either the best place in the World to live in or at least in the top 10, so even a place that is top of the World and has no real indications of an impending decline can go from great to horrible in about 2/3 of an average American lifespan.

            But lets even shorten the time span, forget 50 years ago, as little as 5 years ago Germany looked like an OK place to live in and there was no indication that the lunatic Merkel would open the floodgates to the third World, but she did and Germany is now ruined, in 1976 Iran looked to be going places, in 1979 it was sent back into the Dark Ages, etc., so correctly guessing how things are going to go can be very hard even when looking into the not too distant future.

  8. Croatian Capitalist says:

    Could, not would in the post above.

  9. Croatian Capitalist says:

    Anyway, based on current trends I think that the countries of the future will have to be located somewhere in Eastern Europe and/or Asia, because in the whole of Latin America people with socialist mentalities make up the majority of the population, I mean Chile and/or Argentina might have a good run for a few years or a decade every now and again, but then the idiotic voters will vote back in the socialists and they will revert to the Latin American mean, the whole of Africa is a socialist basket case (the only two civilized African countries in modern history were Rhodesia and South Africa before the “International community” handed them over to the local communists, and now they are ruined for good), as for the USA, Canada, Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand, I don’t have to tell you which way they are going.

    In Europe I am most optimistic about Poland and in Asia about South Korea.

    Speaking/writing of Poland, even though the nazi and communist scum (as communists did in every place that had the misfortune of them coming to power (Cambodia under Pol Pot being perhaps the most extreme example)) killed or forced into exile/hiding the vast majority of their intelligentsia, one evil of communism that they seem to have avoided and which we haven’t discussed before is the mass forced settlement of socialist primitives from other parts of the communist world, for example today Estonia has the highest AIDS rate (1,20% of the population) in Europe, and almost all of the infected are Russian communist colonizers or their descendants, Latvia has a similar problem, another example of a place ruined by communist colonization is my city of birth, Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia, during the period of Austria-Hungary it was a smaller version of Vienna in culture, architecture, etc., but when the communist scum took over the city in 1945 they stole private apartments and houses from people and settled into them communist primitives from all over Yugoslavia who had never seen electricity, running water, flush toilets, bath tubes, soap or anything else which makes up modern civilization, and later built en masse the ugly, depressing, gray and souless communist buildings (this is one example: https://s3.amazonaws.com/gs-geo-images/d604f1e8-e9aa-41d6-a1dc-98e8e079e48a_l.gif) to house even more of the communist colonizers, which turned a city which was once a proud part of Central European Civilization (or Mitteleuropa to use the historically correct term) into a Balkanian socialist dump, and the descendants of those scumbags still ru(i)n the city to this day, while to my knowledge while the Russians communist occupiers and the local collaborators did do serious damage to Poland architecturally and environmentally, they didn’t bring in communist colonizers en mass from the rest of the communist world, and since the vast majority of Poles were (and are today as well) anti-communist, the communists couldn’t really destroy the Polish cities in the way that the communists did it n Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Russia itself, etc.

    • alexanderhay3 says:

      interesting.

      • Croatian Capitalist says:

        Yes, and while I haven’t really researched the effect of communist rule on demographics in every country which had them in power, I am sure that Poland is one of the few which managed to avoid the fate of the Baltic and Balkan countries in this regard, plus Poland is also one of the few countries that were under communist occupation whose people managed to keep their national mentality more or less intact despite communist efforts to destroy it.

  10. Croatian Capitalist says:

    To get back to California and the USA: http://www.breitbart.com/california/2018/02/27/gavin-newsom-encourages-more-local-officials-to-warn-illegals-of-potential-ice-raids/

    Doesn’t the USA have sedition laws? These Californian politicians are openly breaking the law by aiding and abetting the third world invasion of the USA and by calling on others to do the same, yet nobody is doing anything about it.

  11. Croatian Capitalist says:

    I mentioned the mass communist theft of apartments and houses in Croatia during and after World War II, but one thing I didn’t mention is the fact that many of those criminals or their descendants legally form something which is called here a “protected class”, meaning that even though those apartments/houses are registered in the name of their real owners, the communist criminals get to live in them for a ridiculously low rent, something like 30 USD a month, which is less than the fees that the owners have to pay the government, so the owners are forced to literally subsidize the criminals living in their apartments/houses! And our judiciary recently proved once again how sick it is, namely one of the communist criminals living in a stolen apartment in Split (a coastal city in Dalmatia) decided to renovate it (without speaking to the real owner of course), then he sued the owner and the court decided that the owner has to pay around 30000 USD to the communist criminal living in his apartment!

  12. Croatian Capitalist says:

    800,000 people are about to flee New York and California because of taxes, say economists: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/26/800000-people-are-about-to-flee-new-york-california-because-of-taxes.html

  13. Croatian Capitalist says:

    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/19/californias-homelessness-crisis-a-major-issue-in-governors-race.html

    You can add homelessness to the list of California’s epidemics.

    • fafc says:

      Californians are living in an alternate reality, or perhaps they are all just living in a drug induced altered reality, and they are unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy.

      • Croatian Capitalist says:

        Even though California and Sweden are extreme cases of living in an alternate reality, sadly the vast majority of the Western World isn’t that much better nowadays in that regard.

        California’s case is especially sad, 50 or 60 years ago it was one of the best places to live in the World, now it’s one of worst places to live in the Western World.

  14. Croatian Capitalist says:

    While checking tax rates around the World to see if anything has changed recently, I came across this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_income_tax#/media/File:Top_State_Marginal_Tax_Rates.jpg

    Yet another area in which California is the worst state.

  15. Croatian Capitalist says:

    http://www.breitbart.com/california/2018/06/12/farmers-home-raided-guns-confiscated-after-trying-to-comply-with-ca-gun-control/

    You try to obey it’s stupid laws and California raids you home for it! California should be avoided even tourism-wise in my opinion.

    • fafc says:

      I am not sure what to think. As an attorney I know there is inequality in the system. But it seems to me that this proposal creates a tyranny of judges. They can hold you indefinitely if they don’t like you. Is that fair?

      • Croatian Capitalist says:

        No, plus I think that it is unconstitutional, because I am pretty sure that the American Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishments (which holding an innocent/unconvicted person locked up indefinitely definitely is) and mandates that defendants be given fast and public trials.

  16. Croatian Capitalist says:

    California wants to mandate a woman on every company board: https://money.cnn.com/2018/08/30/pf/california-women-company-boards/index.html

    There seems to be no end to the stupidity coming out of California.

    • fafc says:

      So yet another reason to never form your company in California or have your HQ there.

      • Croatian Capitalist says:

        Yes, but the problem is that sooner or later this will likely be forced on the rest of the country in one way or the other.

        • fafc says:

          Indeed. California always leads the way… whether it is towards progress or destruction.

          • Croatian Capitalist says:

            In that case the future of the USA is bleak, but then again, who knows? 50 years ago there were no indications that California would ever become this crazy, so maybe the state which started the social degeneration of America will also be the place where it’s Renaissance will start? I mean eventually some state/country will have to reverse this degeneration which engulfed Western country after Western country since the second half of the 20th century, this can’t continue going on forever.

  17. Croatian Capitalist says:

    https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/NYC-Health-Care-Guarantee-Mayor-de-Blasio-504046171.html

    “It’s not health insurance; it’s the city paying for direct comprehensive care for those who can’t afford it or are undocumented, a spokesman said”

    Not California this time, but New York is run by the same sort of loons, who reward criminals with the money of the American taxpayers.

    • fafc says:

      That is why New York, Illinois, and California have the largest loss of population in the USA. The only reason that California is not number one is that although it does have the largest outflow of middle class population seeking to escape the Venezuela of the North it also has a large inflow of the uber rich and the ultra poor. There is no room for anyone in the middle in California. New York and Chicago are following along, but as is usually the case they are 5 to 10 years behind California. Texas is usually 20 years behind. Cheery stuff.

      • Croatian Capitalist says:

        The way I see things, the only peaceful way for civilization to survive in the USA is Balkanization, the at least somewhat sane states should leave the union, otherwise they will all eventually become Venezuelas of the North.

        • fafc says:

          I still think it is going to be California that bolts for the door. Waiting for sanity in such situations is unlikely to result in a positive outcome!

          • Croatian Capitalist says:

            California leaving would work too, but I think that (at least) New England, New York and Illinois would have to leave too before the remaining states could begin serious work on fixing the country.

          • fafc says:

            Well, my suspicion would be that ‘if’ California was to exit from the Union, then you would see an avalanche of others leave. Sort of like the fear about Brexit. Europe can do fine without the UK, but if 3 or 4 more follow the UK that would be a disaster. I think that is why the EU is being so stupidly vindictive. They don’t want anyone else to get the idea.

  18. Croatian Capitalist says:

    Just joking above about California not doing the same exact crazy thing as New York City this time, of course they are going to do the same thing: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/newsom-sweeping-new-california-health-care-plan-illegal-immigrants-obamacare

    • fafc says:

      Newsom is the biggest empty suit in politics. He is just a giant vacant nothing. But he got elected in California which means he is a real contender for the Presidency.

      • Croatian Capitalist says:

        Whoever the democrats end up choosing as their candidate, I am sure it is not going to be anyone good.

        Actually, I think that the democrats haven’t run a candidate I would (have) vote(d) for since the 19th century (James Polk)!

        • fafc says:

          The only Dem that is worth a damn that I know of is Tulsi Gabbard. Its hard to say where some of her policies reflect her desire to sync with the Leftist leanings of the Democrat Party or her own beliefs, but she is at least consistent and honorable. As such I don’t think she has a chance of snowball in hell of getting the nomination in the Democrat Party.

  19. Croatian Capitalist says:

    Anyway, all of this idiocy coming out of California, New York, etc. raises an interesting question, namely should the large federations (the USA, Canada, Russia, the EU, etc.) be judged individually or collectively/federally? By “individually” I mean every state/province/oblast/country within the federation being judged on it’s own, while by “collectively/federally” I mean being judged by the situation at the federal level and/or in the most powerful administrative unit(s) of the federation (so in the USA’s case California and New York, in the EU’s case Germany, France and (for now at least) the UK, etc.).

    Or to phrase the question differently and to use the American states as an example, should states like Wyoming be crossed off as potential places to live under the assumption that it and all like-minded states will eventually get “Californicated”, or should they be given the benefit of the doubt?

    To be honest, I am not quite sure how to answer that question, on one hand based on current trends it would seem logical to assume that will eventually happen, on the other hand logic doesn’t seem to play a large part in the modern Western World and somebody will have to draw the line somewhere sooner or later, plus if I answer the question with “yes, they should be crossed off”, then I would have to cross off Poland and Hungary as well, which would hardly leave any places to move to (at least as far as the Western World is concerned).

    • fafc says:

      Neither am I sure how to answer. The US really is not a federal republic anymore since so much power has been concentrated into the central government. However, it is better than the Russian Federation, and arguably better than the EU, although who knows. I believe there is some hope that the situation in the USA may improve for no other reason than that people in the USA still honor the concept of a federal republic, even if only in words. In Europe there is only history of oppression and suppression of individual rights on any level. I remember talking to an Indian about the importance of Federal limitations, and he responded, “In India the problem is the opposite; the most profound corruption is at the state and local level. We look to the federal government to come in and save us from our local politicians.”

      • Croatian Capitalist says:

        If we are talking about rights, then yes, on paper the USA is better than Russia and the EU (even though in practice the Second Amendment gets violated by many cities (Chicago for example), the Fourth Amendment gets violated by both some states and the federal government, etc.), if we are talking about everyday living, comparing the large federations directly wouldn’t make much sense (like it would comparing smaller countries, like for example I could confidently say that you would be better of living in any part of Croatia than in any part of Bosnia and Herzegovina), rather the various administrative units should be compared directly against one another, so for example if my choices were between Wyoming and Sweden, I would pick Wyoming, but if my choices were between Baltimore and Moscow, I would pick Moscow, etc.

        Yes, apart from maybe England and Switzerland Europe generally doesn’t have a strong tradition of individual rights, I hope too that the situation will improve in the USA, but I am not optimistic about it (at least not in the short-term).

        As for India, I don’t think it matters whether it is centralized or not, the Indians are (for the most part) a third world people, and with third world people you get a third world country.

  20. Croatian Capitalist says:

    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/02/14/ocasio-cortez-new-yorkers-defeated-jeff-bezoss-corporate-greed/

    “The technology giant planned on bringing 25,000 jobs to the city, and investment $2.5 billion on the construction of new office buildings.”

    “Amazon has said it would bring at least 25,000 and as many as 40,000 jobs to the Long Island City neighborhood over 10 to 15 years.”

    Only leftist loons could consider destroying 25000-40000 private sector jobs to be a win.

    • fafc says:

      I actually agree with this, but only to the point that Amazon should not get some sort of special treatment vs every other business. If these tax benefits fro Amazon are good for the economy why not share it with everyone else? Just think if every company received these sorts of tax benefits in New York? Texas would be afraid!

      • Croatian Capitalist says:

        Well, I agree that certain companies shouldn’t get special privileges versus other companies, in Croatia it is explicitly forbidden by our constitution (which of course gets frequently violated by the commies in power in order to bail their socialist buddies out), but either way, those tens of thousands of jobs are now going to go somewhere else.

  21. Croatian Capitalist says:
    • fafc says:

      Just horrible. But that’s how democracy works.

      • Croatian Capitalist says:

        From reading stories like this (from California, New York, Croatia, Sweden, the UK, etc.), I think that the original criteria for this project could be even more simplified, from to original 5 to just “a country where it wouldn’t disgust me/us/you to pay taxes”, because it has gotten to the point where I literally feel disgust everytime I remember that the taxes I pay are used to support the commie scum here, and I can’t imagine the sane people still living in New York and California feeling much differently.
