    What if you’ve been trying for hundreds of years and it’s never come even remotely close to working but millions of people have died as a result?https://twitter.com/franifio/status/1041514361053822976 …

    Think of socialism like a fancy baked good. Just because many have made a mess of their kitchen attempting it, doesn’t mean you go around declaring you’ll never eat soufflé again! It just means you try harder.

        The unfettered free market is a bad thing. The best solution is a capitalist system with social programs, like virtually every country in the world has. There needs to be a balance

        Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other ideology. It also allows individuals to exercise free-will more than any other ideology, for greater self-actualization. There's probably a correlation between those two. Find me another ideology that can do the same

        Even then, the soufflé is tasty like the grapes here http://bleedingheartlibertarians.com/2011/03/cohens-why-not-socialism/ … The best argument is to say that the soufflé is not that tasty even if you can make it in ideal conditions.

        Don’t I recall you saying no more political posts recently ;)? I mean we can have a smattering of democratic socialism. The free market works most of the time. But the Nordic Model though.

        Per Wikipedia: "Overall tax burdens (as a percentage of GDP) are high: Sweden (44.1%), Denmark (45.9%) and Finland (44.1%).[28] The Nordic countries have relatively flat tax rates, meaning that even those with medium and low incomes are taxed at relatively high levels."

        But but that’s not real socialism. DSA will show what real socialism is.

        Comparing socialism to a soufflé is pretty ironic. In a socialist society a soufflé would probably be one of the first things classified as “bourgeois” and no longer be sold.

        Anyone here who thinks Socialism is still a good idea should check out Death by Government by R.J. Rummel. It's not socialism per se, but the more authoritarian governments who kill their own people...Socialism is by definition authoritarian.pic.twitter.com/9xR9ZG1utK

        Are you talking about capitalism? Socialism isn't that old and it seems to work pretty well when arrived at democratically in societies that value personal freedom and well-regulated markets.

        This would work a lot better if people stopped acting like anyone is talking full on socialism and redistribution of wealth. Those are outlier. People want free (or at least a LOT cheaper) healthcare and education. No country has gone to crap because of free healthcare

        Yep. I don't fully agree with the it didn't work before so it will never work argument too. We just need to be realistic about how to make the change and not get frustrated everytime we encounter assholes.
