    I thought left also meant protection against unregulated markets? Without regulations it is just going to be capitalismplusplus.

      I'm confused, who is talking about unregulated markets?

          It mentions regulated markets, is that what you mean?

            Well the user is saying that the left is also in favour of regulated markets. The meme can be interpreted as if that people on the left somehow want unregulated markets

              Some people on the left recognize that planned economies are more efficient than markets based on empirical research on the soviet economy

                I agree! But a planned economy, you could say is, in essence, an extremely tightly regulated market. Whereas the opposite of that, a complete lack of regulation is anarcho capitalism, a completely right wing idea.
