Socialism

Reiver I completely understand it and as a person who has done everything from sweep floors to run an international manufacturing facility I can tell you that theory is trumped by practice every day.

 

Theory merely allows us to test hypothesis. Those that ignore it only have rant

 

So you rant now? Really?

I have noticed when you are at a loss you divert attention from your ineptitude.

 

An immature reply. If you cannot respond then just say so. I have no patience for prattle

 

You are so deeply immersed in the theoretical that it only seems to you to be the reality.

 

Stop trying to justify your ignorance of supply & demand. It aint gonner happen

 

Their are thousands of economic theories. One is wise to ignore most of them because theories proven wrong usually wreck the economy...... or would that be testing with mathematical equations?

 

How come you don't know any then? Seems terribly lazy!

 

Man existed without government for millions of years. Why not now?

 

Your own Wikipedia link confirms my definition. "My" definition is the definition that has been used by every academic since the 1600s.. It's only recently that people like you decided they could make words mean whatever the hell they want.

 

​

Wow! You still desperately clinging to this silly point of semantics only demonstrates you have nothing to respond with. I used supply and demand to refer to the quantity supplied and quantity demanded. You used supply/demand to refer to supply and demand analysis used in economics to study a wide variety of factors beyond simply quantity supplied, quantity demanded and price. It is now a pointless irrelevancy. And you can't help but go back to it again and again and again. Typical for you

 

No, you shows complete ignorance of the theory. Econ 101 students know about the difference between demand and quantity demanded (its only the former that can allow us to understand wages, given its the MRPL and the means to understand profit maximisation). And then you suggest you have a masters? Priceless!

 

Actually you seem to be the one who can not formulate a response.

 

If you had something to say I'd formulate a response and a half. As it is, you're wasting my time. Off you pop!

 

I do know them. But a quiz on the topic isn't really relevant to the topic of the thread. Believing that your original references to "socialism" meant something other than your obscure strain of "market socialism", isn't from a lack of knowledge of those theories, it was instead because you hadn't stated it yet. Hell you still haven't stated it other than making a passing reference to burczak. And if you purpose here is to advance the discussion, your reference to Burczak was pointless. Outside of a anemic cycles he is virtually unknown. But then again, that's probably why you did. Avoid any details you might be asked to defend. ..... but, then again you don't have any hesitation to resort to proclaiming the other poster to be ignorant, when asked to defend your claims.

 

Don't fib now. You don't even know supply & demand. When asked for details from idiotic "I knows I does" comments, you hide. Pathetic!

 

Actually I introduced my view and you discounted it wiht a non reply. I am not a child you can dismiss so easily nor are other members here. You sir are cowardly.

 

You haven't got a view, you've got incoherence and a tantrum foot stamp

 

And you move to insult.

 

Only an idiot wouldn't know that when I refer to supply and demand as but just two of the many factors that effect price, that I was referring to quantity of supply and demand. And only a fool without the ability to formulate a rational response, would cling to this irrelevant semantic point in December, when on November 26 th, your confusion should have been cleared.

Just parrot some economic jargon that no one outside of academics would even know what you are referring to. You at least come across as a very intelligent parrot.

 

I merely acknowledge the reality. You haven't got an economic argument. The only insult is that you come on a thread where its required. Shame on you! I blame the government

 

This is brilliant! Please, when ever I'm feeling a little sad, post this comment. It will keep me most cheery.

You don't have a masters in economics. You do not understand supply and demand. You are, however, a comic. Sir, I salute you!

 

I guess you are limited to economics and then only theory and not practice.

 

I do indeed have a tendency to refer to economics when talking about economics. Go ahead, shoot me!

 

This employee run business model sounds like an it resting idea however there are a few problems i have with it.

1. workers are not managers and as a whole i don't think the could run a business successfully.
2. this system spawns more politicians that will manipulate people their way to the top as opposed to experienced managers who earn their way to the top.
3. What incentive is there for me to take the risk of starting a business if i am possibly to be voted out by the workers soon?
