Far Leftists use ideals, say they don’t, refuse to discuss, just exclaim they will, for instance, rid of hierarchies & refuse to account for the lack of coherent logic.

For instance the view of, “rid of hierarchy.”
There is unequal knowledge, skills, preferences & need for fast coordination & delegated decisions.

This is why I laugh when campaigners say that an independent Scotland could be like Norway or Denmark. It’s not just the economy or welfare system, but the whole of society that would need to change. #NordicModel
The Danish welfare state and why it is hard to copy https://buff.ly/4fcsQHC
Donna Hall on Twitter :
The Danish 🇩🇰 model is a partnership between citizen & state 🤝 unlike the UK where citizens are passive recipients of rationed “services”. It’s what we tried #TheWiganDeal

Freedom, but it ends at harm, which includes regulations for labor, consumer, citizen with environmental. Free markets are only three if people are free. Public goods & safety nets where markets fail.

Laissez-faire Capitalism is like removing rules & referees from a game. Without them, exploit takes over until the game itself collapses.
Communism is like a game where referees predetermine every score. Fair play, effort & innovation dies until the game itself collapses.

Any country that has universal health (insurance), free/affordable education & a robust social safety net is pretty close.
Conservatives can agree to supporting market failures (Freedom bias) by endorsing Public Goods & Safety Nets.
