    First comment already talking about some magical 'hybrid' of capitalism and socialism. Brother in christ, social democracy with private property is still capitalism ye dingus. Fuck I'm so tired of all these asshats having absolutely no understanding of what they're talking about yet somehow delude themselves inton thinking they have some kind of deep understanding of socialism. Deep enough that they think they don't have to read any of the literature that has been written on the subject for 150+ years

      who needs nuance and understanding when you can pretend to be wise and call everyone wrong without justifying your reasoning

      Huh, they're trying to find some "third position" that proposes elements of capitalism and socialism while being neither? I wonder what that's called.

      economics is basically just a modern Gnostic mystic cult
