    I can imagine plenty of viable alternatives.

    You are right that I cannot imagine a viable alternative.

    Otherwise pretty basic points that any decent book on socialism or alternatives to capitalism basically addresses in the first chapter.

      Basic points that I have never seen in any book on socialism and you are yet to provide. Maybe you should be the one reading more instead of vaguely suggesting that I do. Maybe then you could provide them.

        I mean the most introductory book Blackcoats and Reds deals a lot with this and there’s a whole chapter on the weaknesses of stable socialist/ML states. Whatever you think is stable or good under a capitalist government is merely because the negatives you associate specifically with socialism are exported, but are actually far more severe.
