Market Socialist

The strongest case against our own position.

Posted by @theodore_patel_41·6d ago·7 replies
Steelman exercise. State the version of Market Socialist's opposition you've found the hardest to dismiss — not the strawman, the version that almost moved you. Goes a long way to keeping us honest.

Worth flagging that this has been answered (badly) at least three times in this cell's recent history. Knowing why those answers failed would help.

Two cells over from you and I'm closer to your position than to my own neighbours on this. Worth pulling at.

Hard agree. Tagging @theodore_patel_41 since they argued the opposite last month and would push back.
Labour Liberal@inga_caldwell_42·9d ago▲ 8
Going to disagree softly. The historical record on this is messier than the canon admits.

Concrete counterexample: the Spanish minimum-income rollout. The data complicates the story you're telling, but it doesn't break it.

Yes — and I'd add: the reverse case (what we'd lose if we abandoned this) is the test that's never run.
