I search for an anti-socialist who understands economics, but only find echoes pretending to be minds.

"Socialism is when government does stuff" is the political economy equivalent of reviewing War and Peace as "a book with Russians in it".

Anti-socialism: the belief that if you deliberately define socialism as "wanting other people's stuff", you never have to learn what socialism actually means; or engage with arguments about ownership, power and distribution.

Free markets are the pink unicorns of economics: mythical, yet endlessly invoked. Thatcherism never freed markets; it used the state to privatise public wealth, weaken labour & unleash rent-seeking.

Egalitarianism doesn't mean identical outcomes; it means no class gets built-in domination. Smith saw that danger clearly: masters collude, landlords extract, merchants capture the state. Anti-socialists aren't defending markets. They're defending the oligarchy he warned about.

Prices are not set by fairy-tale free markets; firms use cost-plus mark-ups over wages, inputs, interest and desired profit. They defend margins and extract economic rent. Blaming the government then just becomes ignorance of pricing realities...

"Socialism abolishes price signals" is Econ 101 cosplay. Market socialism keeps prices, competition & profit-loss discipline. It changes the residual claimant: workers, not absentee capital. The Hayek problem is coordination; the capitalist problem is rent. Try reading past 1945?

Churchill was an imperialist and racist. No wonder he's a hero of anti-socialists...

Modern war is not just "the state" randomly murdering people; it is capitalism with artillery: markets needing resources, firms needing contracts, empires needing routes & ruling classes needing workers to die for interests they will never own.

Anti-socialism is where churlish little men practise ugly language and mistake it for economic commentary.

Anti-socialism is class Stockholm syndrome: working class calling landlords "producers", rentiers "wealth creators" and socialism "theft"; while applauding the people picking their pockets.

The world's two rogue states, Israel and the USA, have started a war not against Iran but against the whole world. We stand with Iranians, with Humanity, against the notion that Israel and the US can bomb anyone their fancy takes them to bomb. aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/…

US, Israel attack Iran updates: Khamenei, top security officials killed

Iran declares 40 days of mourning and launches attacks after supreme leader's killing; Israel strikes Tehran.

In 2026, let's build a socialist alternative to privatisation, inequality & war. @jeremycorbyn on the year ahead for Your Party ✊
Your Party graphic with New Year's Message from Jeremy Corby: The start of a new year is a time to look ahead with optimism. 2026 will be the year we demonstrate a radical, socialist alternative to the right-wing demagogues and establishment mouthpieces who dominated 2025. It will be the year we show there is an alternative to the grotesque inequality that blights our country: higher wages for the many through strong trade unions, and higher taxes on the few hoarding all the money. There is an alternative to the housing crisis: more social housing and rent controls so young people don’t spend half their wages subsidising landlords. There is an alternative to the demonisation of those in need of help: a welfare system that doesn’t stigmatise and that allows people with disabilities to live with dignity. Here are my three wishes for 2026: 1) For the voice of communities to come through loud and clear in the elections in May. Your Party will back socialist and community independents

Opposition to socialism often appears less ideological than epistemic: a position grounded in ignorance rather than argument...

Israel has killed six Palestinians sheltering in a school, including a baby. The slaughter continues. The focus of Britain's police, media & political class? How to further attack the right to protest for Palestine. We will not be cowed.

Anti-socialist: a person too proud of their ignorance to notice they're defending a system they don't understand with arguments they didn't think up.
