Is there any reason why you all think that socialism and capitalism can share the same bed? What do you think would've happened to Brittain if there was no Thatcher? When the government pays for growth is it really growth? Do I need to read Marx? ...serious questions.
I would consider myself a marxist however history has shown that Keynesian methods are perhaps the most effective management system for capitalist economies. This is basically what it entails:
"active government policy could be effective in managing the economy. Rather than seeing unbalanced government budgets as wrong, Keynes advocated what has been called countercyclical fiscal policies, that is, policies that acted against the tide of the business cycle: deficit spending when a nation's economy suffers from recession or when recovery is long-delayed and unemployment is persistently high?and the suppression of inflation in boom times by either increasing taxes or cutting back on government outlays. He argued that governments should solve problems in the short run rather than waiting for market forces to do it in the long run, because, "in the long run, we are all dead."[12]"
People like Thatcher and Reagan decided to say fuck the last 80 years of economic history and engaged in policies to help make their upperclass homies hella rich. Their legacy is one of inequality and a global economy in shambles. Fuck them.
