      Honestly I am absolutely terrified of people who don’t believe in market economies because those are the people who turned my grandparents into refugees from China, and my mom’s family into refugees from Myanmar 20th century was not kind to my ancestors, and history repeats

      It depends on the efficiency of the market economy - when it’s captured by a few at the top , then it’s a market in theory and it’s more dangerous than the alternative.

      And socialists would say that in those countries the means of production were truly in the hands of the workers because they weren't sufficiently democratic. I think both arguments are unsubstantive deflections aiming to obscure the larger point critics are making.

      yes and the seismic difference between our positions is the version of socialism they are deflecting away from maoist death camps with is imaginary, whereas the market economies i am talking about exist today

      If you ask Bernie Sanders what democratic socialist countries he would like to deflect away from he will surely name some that in Europe that are not imaginary.

          I'm sure I can, but your point is that many do not. Just as I'm sure you can find a libertarian economist who would say that pre-civil rights era America wasn't technically capitalist. But the point is many do not.

          I guess my basic point is, wrt the original post. There is no law that market economies are strictly better than planned ones or vice versa. There are problems with both! And most serious people in the United States are trying to solve that problem with specific policies.
