       i think that as a replacement for markets library socialism is woefully inadequate, but one thing i will give its advocates is that it is a concrete proposal that you can model and test out in the here and nowIMO one of the worst legacies of the dominance marxism is the tendency to treat a world beyond capitalism as being a singularity, so radically different we cannot speak of it
