How long before all the supporting algorithms behind the scenes, even if the starting point data is real ... point to socialism working. Just like the climate models somehow seem to all be incorrect in only one direction.

Computers don't do the perfect thing. They do the thing they were told to do perfectly.

Well, as you say, it depends on the algorithms programmed into the simulation.

But suppose, as I assume, they base their algorithms on real historical data, e.g. In the past:

• ... when these (whatever) specified conditions existed, and
• ... somebody took this (whatever) specified action, then
• ... 60% of the time, result A happened, and
• ... 30% of the time, result B happened, and
• ... 10% of the time, nothing really changed.

That could have realistic outcomes that don't depend on future projection models nearly so much as they depend on past historical data, WHICH IS KNOWN. So there's at least a chance that things wouldn't be as skewed to a political agenda as they are when the future is being predicted from a model.
