    My least favourite argument is them pointing to the reduction in poverty.

    Like, I could say the same for capitalism. Which I won't because capitalism needs to be abolished, but just "there was a massive reduction in poverty therefore system good" is stupid.

    Tankies aren't socialists in my eyes because socialism necessarily needs to be democratic control by the people.

    We’ve all seen some of the cool elements on RedHat. I especially like the local farmer trucks rolling through towns with fresh veggies. And watching how much easier it is to grow tea there than in my backyard.

    But let’s not play pretend.
