    You’re arguing with straw men. I’m not defending capitalism nor the destruction of the Soviet Union. Nobody is confusing Sachs for a comrade. I said, “as capitalist positions go.” There’s a difference between Keynesianism and neocolonial asset stripping of the commons.

      I claimed you were defending a capitalist economist, which you are.

      My original statement was to take anything he said with a grain of salt and that he pioneered what would one day be labeled as shock therapy.

      Which people then claimed he didn’t do, based on his own claims.
