Eh, keeping women off the workforce is rather counterproductive, so was the tribalism, and so was the whole ''participative democracy but not really''
But, unlike most socialist theories this one actually worked better in practice, the stats don't lie, they achieved some rather impressive things, they probably came the farthest in eliminating workplace alienation and rent seeking, also free gibs.
I already like Nasser and Gaddafi was probably his true sucessor, not that shithead Sadat.
P.S fuck the zionist entity.

If this is real I can only feel sad for you. The question of the thread is "Which book accurately represents your worldview?" not "With which book do you agree a lot?" or something like that.

Your entire worldview is predicated on criticism of an economic system? I'm not an Objectivist, so I would never pick Ayn Rand to represent my worldview but atleast OP's post is a story. At least there's passion.

How sad is your fucking life?
