Because it is.
Quote from: Mad Max on July 06, 2015, 03:26:49 PMBecause it is.Didn't you just say I wouldn't catch you talking about things you don't know about? In that case, please demonstrate your understanding of economics to me. . . Because I'll wager I can demonstrate socialism is a bad idea to a higher degree than you can demonstrate it as a good idea.

Quote from: Mad Max on July 06, 2015, 03:29:40 PM>implying only one way to run a country is the right wayWell, no I didn't. But given your routine lack of nuance I can see how you'd think of capitalism as "one way" and socialism as "another". Although I could see how a single nuanced way could empirically be the "best" way of running a country. But yeah, the evidence we have, both theoretical and empirical, is quite strongly against socialism as a workable economic structure. Hell, Sanders isn't even a socialist. All I see him saying is "I'll raise taxes on the rich and stop outsourcing jobs"; nothing about a labour-run economy. The guy's just a populist who's adopted an ill-fitting label.

i'd have to take baby steps
Quote from: Verbatim on July 06, 2015, 03:37:01 PMi'd have to take baby stepsSure, but I've seen zero evidence which suggests Sanders is actually a socialist. He's more like a social democrat.
