    I think it works pretty well in real life too.

    Privileged, child, or petite bourgeois aspirations?

          Reading an actual book on economics makes it impossible for a benevolent individual to be a communist, at least without a physically painful amount of cognitive dissonance.

          Do you feel angry or depressed often? It’s cognitive dissonance. ;)

            Oh, you sound really informed on this. What books of marxist economics have you read to come to this conclusion? What theory of subjective value based economics books?

            I mean, I’ve just spent over a decade studying various schools of economics, maybe you have much more insight than me on this topic.
