I am a market socialist, which means I believe in a decentralised form of socialism, which operates on the basis of the law of supply and demand. I thought I would regularly comment on this site so I could engage in real debate instead of seeing people furiously agreeing with each other. Dear MMLJ,

Let me point out that I am not a "finely conventional socialist". I am a market socialist, which means I believe in a decentralised form of socialism, which operates on the basis of the law of supply and demand.

I thought I would regularly comment on this site so I could engage in real debate instead of seeing people furiously agreeing with each other.

You read Daily Reckoning to fine tune your portfolio pending the day of the Revolution ? Or are we just looking for names of class enemies ? Just curious. Comrade Market Socialist Dude:

The credit crunch and rising costs mean that many are accepting any job at any wage to pay the rent.

When markets rise it’s no surprise
your government takes the credit.
It’s a cleverness and vision thing,
bold leadership that led it.

But when markets fall and suffering starts
It’s business thugs who bled it.
Those greedy corporate crooks are jailed
and your government takes the credit.
