The Embittered Economist

I search for an anti-socialist who understands economics, but only find echoes pretending to be minds.

The 5 stages of anti-socialism...

1. Crow "Economics 101" but offer no detail;
2. Name-drop Hayek and ignore everything since 1945;
3. Define socialism as "when government does stuff";
4. Retreat into Manichean history;
5. Give up on economics and declare socialism as evil.

Just watched Swapped with the kids. Gloriously woke! Multiculturalism celebrated, magical creatures as Marxist intellectuals exposing how elites manufacture division to preserve power. A cartoon about ideology, divide & conquer, & solidarity overcoming manufactured hatred. 😏

@teddlem @grok It's the definition. Feel free to think you can understand political economy through a dictionary. Get back to me when you've evolved.

[The Embittered Economist @EmbitteredThe]

@RealRobTaylor @sfliberty Yep. Bit like you 😏

[The Embittered Economist @EmbitteredThe]

@MozartsTrump You didn't answer. The US spends bucket loads to stop socialism. Why don't they listen to you?

@Ben_L_Tracey You think the climate crisis is a lefty scheme? Wow, that's some conspiracy theory. You must think lefties are geniuses!

[The Embittered Economist @EmbitteredThe]

@Ben_L_Tracey You could read some political economy instead and help save the planet 😏

@JohanKirsten1 @theallinpod @futurewealthP @TradersCorner @Mercedarians It's essentially derived from Esping-Andersen's work.

[The Embittered Economist @EmbitteredThe]

@JohanKirsten1 @theallinpod @futurewealthP @TradersCorner @Mercedarians Liberal democracy refer ultimately to the poverty rate consistent with stability in capitalism. Rambling about the Soviets is just ideological grunt.

@Exacerbater1 @RogerR46384 @JoshuaBSlater @biigrem You're talking bobbins. You don't need "democratic" to refer to socialism. And market socialism doesn't remove private property rights. It's actually protects worker property rights.

You've allowed dogma to replace rational thought.

@dgvreiman Ever wondered why single payer healthcare is found to be more efficient? You get more bang for your buck.

[The Embittered Economist @EmbitteredThe]

@Exacerbater1 @RogerR46384 @JoshuaBSlater @biigrem Socialism has to be democratic to exist, given it takes democracy within labour governance.

Dem Socialism is really just yanks playing with social democracy. Either way, you're talking out of your backside.

[The Embittered Economist @EmbitteredThe]

@Aniconomics__ @Dispropoganda You mean from plastic libertarian perspective, where all political economy is ignored in favour of dogmatic grunt.

[The Embittered Economist @EmbitteredThe]

@xBattery_Acidx @Davouts @RockChartrand Codswallop! You've just mixed yourself up with the economic spectrum. A most tedious error, as illustrated by market socialism Vs state capitalism.

[The Embittered Economist @EmbitteredThe]

@BarnCat296656 @SocialistMormon Weird how folk who say that never actually refer to any economics 🧐

[The Embittered Economist @EmbitteredThe]

@BobbyBananas68 @DKH013 @AmesStraight Hahaha! The laws of supply and demand would say no such thing. A demand shock would spark off a supply shift through engineering supernormal profit.

Econ 101 isn't really a bigot's pal 😏

[The Embittered Economist @EmbitteredThe]

@Lol19559014 @Jimmie968099046 @theobjectivist There's nothing socialist about the Dems. Whilst most of them are neoliberals with a smile, the so-called radicals are just very mild social democrats.

[The Embittered Economist @EmbitteredThe]

@NekoKirito7 @kenocryptomancy Cobblers! You're essentially just referring to the economic spectrum. That describes the rationality of a mixed economy; it offers zero understanding of socialism.

[The Embittered Economist @EmbitteredThe]

@pdxmoderate @RockChartrand Weird comment given even orthodox economics predicts that capitalism is largely built off economic rent (which, by definition, is an inefficient redistribution)
