By what standard? In the 50s a lot of things didn't even exist.
> then if we took a hit on GDP now when we have more productivity than the 50s, then we can take care of everyone.
If the hit is closer to 100% than to 0% then no. Examples: The USSR, Maoist China, North Korea.
- tehjoker 3y agoFood, shelter, education, etc. Those things existed in the 1950s, we have nicer versions now unevenly distributed. I guess you're just an ideological anti-communist.
