People who call themselves “anti-establishment”.
“The western economic system can’t fail! Only be failed!”
In the words Dan Crenshaw “eat ramen you disgusting poor”
Lol what is the context of this? I don’t know anything happening in Australia that could be construed as recent socialist development. Actually, we have low petrol prices compared to a lot of other countries, but they probably won’t be mentioning that.
It’s literally just “socialism is when no food.”
I think this is an old tweet from the COVID days. Malcolm Roberts is also one of the biggest idiots in Australian politics so don’t think about it too much, he certainly didn’t
The correct answer to “shelves in supermarkets in socialism were empty” is “that’s because all people could afford to buy what was in them and there was no advertising need to overstock”. Basically, the reason why supermarkets are overstocked is the fact that there are people rummaging through the trash searching for those very goods but outpriced.
If you run planned economies, you WANT shelves to get empty, shelves not getting empty means you’re tossing away a significant part of your production, which is incredibly inefficient.
Ironically, that’s exactly how these online order-only grocery services work, they’re constantly trying to keep stock levels at the minimum needed between restocks to avoid waste. So their warehouses are trying to do what socialism does.
