> they simply long for communal property ownership with a benevolent overseer

I’m not impressed by the other account. But I respect your opinion. Why do you think they have convictions? (Versus waffling on memes.)



I think it is largely memes, but I think that is at the heart of the meme and why it replicates. Most of the time this is more intuitions than explicit convictions about how the world should operate.

That sombody should fix all these messy distrubted market process by replacing it with an engineered solution.

The obvious counterpoint is to direct them to who would be directing that top down system.

Everyone can get behind an omnicient and benevolent central planner on paper.
