Which is why it isnt considered a communist economy (any more) by normal
people.

While it required independent thinking to propose the
concept, it requires no independent thinking today to
embrace GR.

Just because you've thrown in a concept in the scientific
realm doesn't make this tidbit of your logic any less muddy
than it is the rest of the time.

Seems to me you're projecting again. Look at the above.

He thinks he knows something.

He hasn't a clue.

This is your real bias. Social democracy is not a political party in this
context (yes some countries have a "Social Democratic Party" but that was
never an issue here).

You bias is ensuring you are incapable of making a reasoned judgement about
policies or foreign governments.

Bit like saying that because the Irish Republicans spent thirty years
bombing the UK, any political party with "Republican" in its name supports
terrorism, violence and non-political methods of forcing people to obey it.

Well, is that the case?

Not understanding what socialism means, and having a morbid fear of the word
"democrat" provide an excellent starting point for the madness.
