I've always likened the touting of socialism to those same old sleazy get rich quick scams. Like buying real estate with no $$$ down. Making a killing in stock regardless of market conditions. Investing thousands in the latest snake oil while building a downline or some other unworkable pyramid racket. They'll tell you other systems failed because they were implemented wrong but THEY have a PROVEN SYSTEM that works. Those 4 deadly words, THIS TIME IT'S DIFFERENT! And like the red diaper doper babies and hippies before them so many millenials fall for this crap like so many brainwashed little puppies.

Wasn’t this method of analysis used before [fairly recently]?

Little puppies are far smarter than red diaper doper babies and hippies.

I was at university in the 60s. I remember one professor stating that the Soviet system was superior. “Look at toothpaste in the grocery store. Dozens of brands in several sizes. In the Soviet system there is only one brand and one size. Much more efficient”. Choice and freedom are bad he was basically saying.

Not just Beer, pretty much everything.
The East German Trabant was a good example. It was a 2-stroke 3 cylinder engine. Mixed Gas & Oil like your LawnBoy mower. The body wasn’t metal, but a form of compressed wool and cardboard. Total POS.
It gets better. You couldn’t just go out and buy one, crappy as it was. No Sir. You had to get on The List, for permission. It took a while. Such a “while”, it was traditional to sign up a baby when born.
So one Fine Day, the word came down - “You Can Buy This POS Comrade!”
Payment was due in full (or immediately lose your spot in line) so it was also traditional to borrow from family members.
