&lt;blockquote&gt; 


What political party was Jack London a part of?
Socialist Labor Party
During his early years in Oakland, California, London joined the Socialist Labor Party of Oakland. By 1897, the Oakland Times labeled him the &quot;boy socialist.&quot; London&#039;s involvement in the Socialist Party continued through most of his life. He even ran for mayor of Oakland as a socialist candidate in 1901 and 1905.

And yet:

Jack London: When Socialism Was Racist &#124; The Liberty Conservative
Dec 14, 2016 - Writer Jack London, born 140 years ago this week, typified what would today be condemned by leftists as “political incorrectness.”

Here is a sampling of the arguments for and against socialism being ideologially racist.

Apologetics for the socialists, just to be fair and balanced; they are basically of the format, &quot;Marx &#038; Co. were certainly racist, but we are getting better; no, really!&quot;

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;If you want to get rich off the gold rush, though, don’t mine it yourself: sell supplies to the miners.&lt;/i&gt;

AesopFan: Couldn&#039;t help but remember another Jack London story which scarred my psyche as a child. This guy puts together 1000 dozen eggs and heads to the Yukon to make a killing selling them to the miners. Since it&#039;s a Jack London story things somehow don&#039;t work out.

&lt;i&gt;David Rasmunsen was a hustler, and, like many a greater man, a man of the one idea. Wherefore, when the clarion call of the North rang on his ear, he conceived an adventure in eggs and bent all his energy to its achievement. He figured briefly and to the point, and the adventure became iridescent-hued, splendid. That eggs would sell at Dawson for five dollars a dozen was a safe working premise. Whence it was incontrovertible that one thousand dozen would bring, in the Golden Metropolis, five thousand dollars.

Jack London, &quot;The One Thousand Dozen&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Jack London seems to be a writer who has completely fallen off the radar. Even though he was a serious leftist.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;b&gt;If I can believe some of the things I’ve read over the years, the primary reason gold and precious metals / gems have the value they do is because the producers restrict their supply to the market.
Flooding the world with more gold will not make anyone rich; it will simply destroy its value.
However, if the constraints on mining are high enough so that production is naturally curtailed, that would make a difference.&lt;/b&gt;

Well, a scarce resource is already limited. So they restrict their supply to the market mostly because over selling will tank their own profit. So since the supply is scarce, there is no one that can undercut the producers. What are they gonna do, produce more? Sure, that&#039;ll last for a week or two. But demand and supply just means they sell for bottom of the barrel pricing, while the other supplies can hold back, and sell when the price goes back up, which it will since they don&#039;t have multi billion tons of gold around to create out of alchemy or fracking.

Scarce commodities can be controlled via central market schemes, ala Diamond. Diamonds are rare? oh no, they are not. Gem quality diamonds perhaps, but diamonds, no. They can be artificially created after all.]]></description>
