The books also got banned from resale, and that's not free market. There is also be greatly increased demand now due to publicity.

The companies that choose to not sell them, E-Bay for example, are private enterprises. So, it is exactly what the free market is all about. If the government "banned" the sale of them, you might have a point.

Except that you changed your goal post from "not marketable".

You are the one who changed things from marketable to resale. And a resale company that has existing policies against selling racist materials, has made a free market business decision.

Sorry chum, a resale market shows demand and I pointed out and increased demand shows that they are marketable. And that company does provably sell racist materials. But nice to reinforce you goal post move with a false whataboutism.

The fact that the company that publishes Dr. Seuse's books decides what is marketable by them is market-driven, no matter how you twist it. There may be people who want to see a drawing of a sale of slaves with a sign inviting people to choose a "ni&&er." They chose to not market it. Sorry that their decision broke your heart.

LOL, no the facts are the increased demand make the books maskable rather than someone's feels. They didn't stop the low selling books either, but the ones that people started moaning about the content of.

You also ignored by proof that racist books are should on ebay and choose to lie falsely insult me instead using reason and facts.

Didn't the republicans lose their shit over the Lorax for it's hyper environmental propogandic stance aswell?
Corvair was not a safe car, poor suspension and handling made it a rollover risk.

There’s a difference in banning it’s sale, as Amazon, EBay and others have and not making product available.

The products are not available because they ceased printing them last year, however the discontinued books are being sold elsewhere online for so far upto $500. Now to repeat, they have not bin banned.

They been banned by eBay and Amazon. You know the guys who sell Mein Kampf and other hits. You can play semantics all you want, but the left pushed the ban and the “retraction from sale.” They are currently pushing libraries to remove them. It’s an attack on American culture to discredit social icons we all grew up on.

I agree. If they decided the Grinch was racist they would make like Disney and just include a disclaimer instead of losing a cash cow.

My issue is their bs virtue signaling which everyone knows is fake.

Political cartoons still use the same portrayals all over the world.
