    Christ, no wonder the world's such a ****ing mess if an economist thinks that's a valid analogy.

    Fair enough, dave. I didn't follow your link.
    It's still bad enough that people can't see how spurious an analogy it is, regardless of who wrote it.

    It will be interesting to see that analogy re-written from the POV of a socialist/left wing...

    saint, Sweats is not the only one to both downgrade Socialism without understanding the philosophy and peddling propaganda without checking its veracity.

    Looks like a fat urban myth to me justifying a slating of socialism. Proof please.

    What relation does that analogy bear to socialism? It shows an awareness of the values of socialism akin to sweats analogy of the tax system.

    It looks like it was written by someone in junior school <ok>

    Jimmy, the professor is an idiot! Socialism does not demand equal outcomes. It does demand equal OPPORTUNITY.

    Just seen the spelling of equaliser (with a zee) so that probably explains why it looks like it was written by someone with little (or no) understanding of the term socialism.

    I think my definition of socialism is skewered.

    What is the difference between communism and socialism?
