:blob_neutral: Let's put the name calling aside then and straighten this out ...

What is your point?

Mine is that the qualities of being a socialist and an economist are not mutually exclusive.

What is yours?
"the qualities of being a socialist and an economist are not mutually exclusive." That was never the point being made (and you claim others moved the goalpost, lol); you brought up excellent economists (I even put excellent in bold when quoting your response), and 2 people pointed out that your example wasn't excellent by any means. No one in this thread has claimed that a socialist can't be an economist. My "point" was that my aspiring author friend wouldn't be a good economist (I actually could be wrong on that; Elijah could possibly be an amazing economist, but it was a well-received joke comment by most readers except you).
He's a socialist. Hell no.

:meowsip: "No one in this thread has claimed that a socialist can't be an economist." I see, so you agree that a socialist can be an economist, even possibly an excellent one. I am glad that we are on the same page then. I guess not point in arguing here any more~. It was all just a light hearted joke.

Just like:

The guy whose theories have never led to a successful civilization, but every time it fails, his supporters go, "That wasn't real socialism/communism/marxism."

He had an interesting social theory, but he knew nothing about economics.


or

Its a shame that all of his fans have never read "das kapital." keep your delusions. lol

All just joke. :meowsip: Not that it matters, after all, you agree with my core premise.

Yes.


No, but I just realized that you are under 18 and shouldn't even be on Smuthub. Good job exposing yourself as a minor.
:meowsip: Nya~, how did you know? I was exposed~.

That being said, your statement leaves me confused, so you are saying a socialist cannot be possibly an excellent economist? Is that what you are trying to say? Yes or no.

Wow...

socialist or capitalist =/= economist.

You can be either and be an expert economist.
An economist is just someone who understands the relationship of how resources are distributed within society, as well as how society is motivated to interact with the economy.

It's just the majority of socialists we have had in the past, have been very poor economists.
Correlation =/= causation.

Correct. Something Karl Marx sucked at.

OMG, someone gets it.

Your middle school friends will love it.

:meowsip: You ignored the question. Yes or no~. Is my assumption correct, yes or no?
If you had read my response, I already said no. Look...

Yes.

...No, they all suck at factoring in human behavior, I'll even put it in bold since reading comprehension obviously isn't your thing. There is a literal branch of economics called behavioral economics to talk about how human interaction doesn't fit in to their flawed theories.

EDIT: when you grow older and go to college, its a highly recommended class even if it's not your major. It integrates psychology into economics.

:blob_reach: I see, so no is your response. So according to you, a socialist cannot be possibly an excellent economist despite the fact that you initially claimed that "No one in this thread has claimed that a socialist can't be an economist.".

Apparently that was not the case.

That being said, I will quote my predecessor, with whom you agreed readily.

"socialist or capitalist =/= economist.

You can be either and be an expert economist.

Thus, we must conclude that it is indeed possible for a socialist to be an excellent economist, which was my entire point, to begin with. :meowsip:

Correct, no one had said that until you brought it up. The key word was excellent, ergo, being good at it. Something they are not. A point was made that there aren't any excellent socialist economists. No one had claimed that there weren't any socialist economists at all; to claim otherwise is a red herring logical fallacy. I can see you love failing at logic and reading comprehension.

I love how you ignore this from his post.

Find some.

Can a person be a retard and an author at the same time? :blob_hmm:
Apparently so. We know she's an author; the question is whether or not she's a good author.
