It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

B-B-B-BUT muh COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE. This isn't PARETO EFFICIENT, and that's against the RULES. (Please ignore the inseparable intertwining of economic and political power and just play along like dupes)
Guevara has a bunch of speeches about this. IIRC, he differentiated between "political freedom", the power of a people to make their own decisions and act on them, and "economical freedom", the power of a people to decide over their production and trade. He argued that a revolution aims for the former; after that, the post-revolution state builds the latter.
damn that sounds really good. I'll have to go looking for those
