What is the best argument against communism?
The killer argument against communism turned out to be the water-diamond problem.

Classical economists like Adam Smith and Jean-Baptiste Say were themselves perplexed by the paradox that a diamond, a mere bauble, held more value than water, which is essential to life. With no clear answer to this paradox, Karl Marx was able to push his claim that all of the value in a product was provided by those who labored to produce it, which we know now not to be the case.

The problem for Marx was that no sooner did Book One of his opus, Das Kapital, go to press in the late 1860s than three separate members of the Marginalist School, Jevons, Menger and Walrus, published proofs for the problemโ€”very persuasive and long-accepted proofs. โ€œMarginalist Schoolโ€ because the winning concept turned out to be โ€œmarginal utility.โ€
The real question is, โ€œwhat should be the price of one more diamond versus one more glass of water?โ€
In any case, the weight of historical interpretation is that Marx, who would certainly have read the proofs, then knew his entire premise to be wrong. Backing this up is the historical fact that Marx did no further work whatsoever on his opus, despite much pleading from his followers and the promise of generous support from his benefactor, Engels.

Books Two and Three were published posthumously by Engels from Marxโ€™s unimproved notes and Marx never started work on Book Four, which was to be the crowning volume that detailed communism. There is nothing left of Marx in economicsโ€”no theorem, no algorithm, no proof, no nothing. To the extent he appears in economics texts at all it is mention of him as a minor student of Ricardo.

The net of the water-diamond paradox is that Marxโ€™s communism can only impoverish. It is a human tragedy that so many continued (and still continue) to pursue communism as a rational methodology. This ongoing human tragedy continuously proves, communisim is not a rational methodology. (It is not rational to continue hoping that something thoroughly disproved will โ€œwork this time.โ€)

>"Universal health care: not a radical idea."
>*Slovenia*

No, but it's a SHITTY IDEA. Our health system is a remnant from the Yugoslavia era, and is falling apart because of it.

Our most skilled doctors are fleeing north to Austria. where the pay and social benefits are way better, while the communist party under the guise of "social democrats" are importing cheap Balkan slave labor.

now it's falling apart because non-citizens are taking up everything?

2020-02-17 20:06:14 UTC [Sparta #outbreaking-news]  

Taiwan is where the remnants of Nationalist China retreated after Communists ousted them from mainland.

2020-02-17 20:07:20 UTC [Sparta #outbreaking-news]  

They're the last remnants of Sun Yat-sen's legacy and the ONE TRUE Republic of China.
