At @LeftForum this year, @profwolff gave an amazing speech on the core misconceptions of Socialism that persist today.
“I think that the definition of Capitalism and how it’s different from Socialism that has been dominant for the last hundred years or so is out of date.”

“[Capitalism] creates another dichotomy. Not master-slave. Not lord-serf. Employer-employee. ... It’s the same arrangement: a tiny group of people with the power and the control, and a vast majority of people who have to live under that control...” (4/6)pic.twitter.com/YcNz6itxnl

“[Anti-capitalism is] the principled, analytical insistence that what isn’t Capitalism exists if and when the dichotomy employer-employee is removed. It isn’t when workers have more income. It isn’t when workers have more power. It is when they are no longer ‘workers.’” (5/6)pic.twitter.com/jmEB5Dnxuj

“Our enemies are unprepared... They’ve had a century to hone their arguments against Socialism by arguing against the government, and planning, and public enterprise. They’re not prepared for a Socialism that says, ‘You’re full of it. You’re arguing the wrong issue.’” (6/6)pic.twitter.com/Mo6asuVbKi

Hoardable money; certain people (or entities) have massive amounts of it and use it to leverage everything in our world. Making The Switch to using money with Demurrage will end The Cycles. Land as it has is now, can also be hoarded. It must also be free-ed.

And, making The Switch to using money with Demurrage, like declaring Demurrage on The US dollar, will unfund The Dark Forces.

Socialism in its more pure forms DISCOURAGES innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship. It’s a recipe for mediocrity and societal failures.

Socialists want to end employer-employee paradigm but fail to answer the most key issue in the process. Who's going to be the boss and call the shots in the organization? If every employee is given equal voting rights in the decision making process how will the decisions be made?

Socialism in its more pure forms always fails. In Europe, people can invest and property rights are given. In Venezuela, we witness death. Chavez ruined a perfectly healthy economy by stealing property from businesses & subsidizing way too much.

I’ll ask a “Tree falls in the forest ...” type question: If there’s no demand for a commodity/product does a market exist? No, it doesn’t. As Polanyi posited; markets are a social phenomenon not separate from the society nor mechanical.
