My bone of contention with David is not that he is wrong in his opinion. He is. I lived in a socialist country and learned about socialism on the academic level. David is incompetent on the subject he writes.
I was upset that for my membership money, Medium editors recommend to me mindless propaganda.
I’m afraid you are mistaken in your thesis as well. They say that a good preacher says his sermon only once. Following the same logic, you can check my article on the subject, https://virtualagora.us/capitalism-socialism-and-communism-db09ad64b81d. If you can write a polemic explaining lapses in my reasoning, I will check it. If you bring valid points, I may respond. I value polemics, and I am one of the very few writers on Medium writing polemics.
