I didn't attack you. I very specifically worded it to attack the post, not the poster. Your post was almost absurdly wrong. I make no judgments on you as a person from it.
In a socialistic economy, the government is a prominent actor in the market, but there is still a market and there are many other actors.
In a command economy, there is no market or actors, only government directives.
I'm honestly not trying to be mean, but understanding the basic terms of macroeconomics is fundamental to there being able to be any sort of conversation. For example, while I disagree with the idea that a sales tax or VAT is fair, I made sure to acknowledge both sides. As I said before, it's a subjective opinion and there's room for respect on both sides of it. But there's not much to be done about someone who says they want a sales tax and begins talking about an income tax. The post makes it appear as if they simply don't know the meaning of the words they are using.
