RE: My live thoughts and response to a Communist Post
History and economics education in this country is abysmal! Hayek had it right when he said, “If socialists understood economics, they wouldn’t be socialists.”
The Best book to help them understand is "Economics for those who hate capitalism" one of the authors also co-wrote "Rebel Sell" an examination of the fetishization of marxist murderers like Che Gueverra.
The only problem with that is that it goes against their confirmation bias. I've found with dealing with progressives or just out and out socialists is that you have to talk to them for a while before you can get them to read something that goes against their thinking. I'll have to add a couple more books to my reading list!
You might be able to get them to read these books they are written by leftists(who of course should be excommunicated for wrong think)
Excommunicated is the proper word since they view socialism/communism as a religion.
an unexamined religion
