Second Thought Doesn't Understand Socialism: Part 1
Second Thought, just like any other socialist, doesn't understand socialism. As you will always find, socialists want you to believe that socialism is what they want you to believe what it is, what they hold theoretically in their own head. They don't want you to acknowledge socialism for what it has proven to be in the real world, for what we have seen put into practice.
In other words, socialists do not acknowledge practice and anyone with common sense understands you cannot place theory above practice. Second Thought believes that socialism will somehow correct such problems with today's economy and complains about costs of education, healthcare, etc, but he doesn't acknowledge the fact that in the goal of socialism, the consequences for such actions is, he would be left running the printing press, which would drive the country towards hyperinflation.
Second Thought, like any other socialist, don't understand basic economics. He doesn't comprehend what prices are, why prices are so important to the operation of the economy with resource allocation and much like his argument critiquing capitalism he generally doesn't have a clue why the economy is in the mess that it is in.
As I've mentioned, it's all well believing in the theoretical nonsense about socialism, but in practice, economic reality and human nature defies socialism. He talks about democratic governance, but as I've mentioned numerous times before, socialism cannot avoid economic central planning, it is a big part of what defines socialism and so long as they are faced with the economic calculation problem, it is impossible to have democracy with socialism. The only democratic thing about socialism is voting it into place.
His argument on Liberals and as he describes 'the left' may sound reasonable but so-called 'liberals' today do not support capitalism, they prove that by their opposition of the free market economy. Whilst there may be a distinction and they value the private sector to some extent, their policy decision-making is every bit as destructive as that of full-blown socialism and full-blown socialism, as I've mentioned, would never fix the problems but only make things progressively worse.
As mentioned, socialists like Second Thought have good intentions, but just because you INTEND for something to be a certain given way, does not mean to say that in practice it turns out that way. This is why when faced with economic reality that defies them there are disastrous consequences that follow their theoretical socialist nonsense.
