Sometimes I get concerned by how unabashedly people put forward frankly socialist talking points in public discourse these days. But then I see how incredibly common sense refutations by people like yourself are, and feel a little less worried.

On the other hand while market forces are incredibly powerful, they’re not an end in themselves. Both capitalism and socialism taken to ideological extremes can be incredibly dangerous and harmful, but the ideas in both have plenty to offer.
