    I always like it when people start to yell: ‘WHY DON’T YOU MOVE TO CHINA/DPRK/VIETNAM/CUBA THEN?’

    That’s not my point mate.

    The irony is that Socialism was initially not about government intervention nor command economy. The original concept of Socialism originates from Karl Marx who state that Socialism is the transitional phrase to Communism and that Socialism does contain property ownership, commodity, and market investment. Marx did expect that money spending will disappear in the final Communist economic stage, but only because the money spending is no longer relevant in that stage.

    The Capiatlists did create imaginary contradiction with the redefiniton of key words in Marxist theory, but the Capitalists are not faithful to their own Liberal ideology themselves and they keep on redefining Liberalism. Some Capitalists do not even know about the fundamental Liberal principles that they are supposed to support. Liberal theory state that the invisible hand (a.k.a. market condition) should constraint the decision of the people, but the Capitalists think that Liberalism allow freedom of decision because they do not realize that their freedom depends in their wealth. The Capitalists think that the oppressed workers should abandon their country if they do not like Capitalism just like the victim of Communism, but they disregard the fact that only the rich people have the wealth and connection for secure immigration. The Capitalists have the cognitive dissonance to believe that victimization is a personal choice, but possess the Communist-phobia to make the paranoia claim that they need authoritarian plutocratic command to suppress the free market under the fear that the invisible hand is planting the fictional evil Communist mastermind in key position of the Capitalist system. Their Neo-Liberal hypocrisy to support authoritarian plutocratic command economy contrary to their free market principle with the justification of the trickle down theory and ‘too big to fall’ dependency on a few oligarch contradict their claim that authoritarianism will lead to economic recession on the premise that dictator by the modern American redefinition has no incentive to improve their society.
