I have bookmarked to study more. Very good talking points for why socialism makes sense, and counterarguments to the right's hysteria about it. .

When people spread fear about socialism, they are choosing some time point in a systems evolution as evidence of failure, instead of seeing the bumps and dips of systems undergoing constant change. Economies are complex and adaptive systems, never static.

Their arguments are like saying that automobiles failed because they weren't as good in 1916 as today's cars.

Thanks again for posting this. Will check out more in your group.
