Quote by: nerdvincent All the communist experiment tried were incomplete marxist revolution.

I knew this argument was coming. A free market nation has never been achieved either.

Luxemburgism is non-revolutionary and doesn't imply a dictatorship of the working class (which caused every "communist" countries to stick with a ex-farmer dictator).

From reading up on it, it lacks economic theory except that it is based off of Marxism...which lacks economic theory.

As for the socialists ideas, well your talking without thinking. As far as I know, Norway got the highest HDI, not America, and Norway is the most socialist country in the world.

You should do you homework before making snide comments. The top 500 Norwegian companies are mostly privately owned or publicly traded. List of the largest companies of Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Norway, like most countries are a mixed economy. Norway's economy is primarily capitalism while their politics are influence by socialism.

Ok I'll explain: capitalism needs consumerism to survive. If the country stop consuming good, the economy fall.

People also die when they stop consuming. What economic system can survive without consumption?

But consuming more and more leads to wicked production, and wicked production leads to pollution, pollution leads to global warming.

"Wicked" consumption. You made the is/ought fallacy. You made an "ought" claim. I'll make an "is" claim below.

You do know that increasing gdp/capita decreases infant mortality, increases life expectancy, curbs population growth, increases human capital via education.
