One of the most common downsides of leftist economic policy is wasteful spending. Indeed, bureaucracy isn't perfect, gets bloated easily, and goverment employees with no incenitive to do better would fare WORSE than an employee of a private company in the same situation.

That said, both capitalism and socialism are just ways to allocate resources and distribute rewards for producing them. There's a billion things to be said about socialism resorce wise, but what critiques do we have against capitalism?

Are we making too much of useless things while we could've been making something else? e.g sex work
Are we NOT making something we should and can make? e.g housing
Are we wasting something when we could've distributed it? e.g foreign aid

Pose the most egregious examples ITT.

Housing is proof that capitalism is crap. The only time housing has ever been affordable under capitalism is when there's a massive new land discovered or when socialists push through massive building projects (Red Vienna) or when a socialist state has collapsed and there's a bunch of commie blocks providing a safety net for people (former eastern bloc).

Every time le free market and le landlords and le private developers are handed complete control and the government steps back from building houses, it all goes to shit and there's nonstop rent gouging and increasing homelessness.

Yes. There's just some spheres of economy private equity shouldn't ever touch. It got so bad some US landlords now have analytics sowtware telling them to increase vacancy rates together to pump the prices

Well, at least my motherland is still true to its commie roots

>>2377512
The only thing wrong with commie blocks is their aesthetics. And nobody had time for that then so many people were homeless

so much sovl…

There's only this problem because reactionaries and reformists keep trying to cling onto the family/the private household. Cheaper private ownership of speculative assets is not a proletarian demand. The problem isn't landlords, the problem is homeowners.

Personally they'd be peak if they were sleeker looking, more glass and darker colors

The first thing that comes to mind is how wasteful it is. How much good ends up in landfil and compost simply because shareholders demand it sit on a shelf where less than half of it gets consumed. End result is that there is more than enough agricultural capacity to feed the world, but due to the hideous inefficiency and gatekeeping, we have famines and malnutrition all over the world.

>>2378187
Any specific examples? Whewre I live expired food gets donated.

>but what critiques do we have against capitalism?
Couldnt care less. Resource distribution under socialism and how to make this as efficient as possible is much more interesting discussion.
