One of the things I mention to chuds talking about capitalism vs socialism and how capitalism is just "way more efficient"... ok, let's say for argument's sake that the free market is better at allocating resources. Even if it is, how could that efficiency advantage possibly overcome how much "dead weight" workers capitalism has? I mean, the jobs we have under capitalism that wouldn't exist so those people could do more productive things. A lot less lawyers and cops. And no need for sales reps, marketing directors, retail associates. And sex workers, and the cops that police them. That's gotta be at least like 25% of the workforce under capitalism. That's just wasted productivity under capitalism that could be better used socialism.

Imagine if we took the billions dumped into policing sex workers and just... spent it on housing, health care, and cost of living.
Admittedly, this would cut into the amount of on-the-job rape officers were paid to do.
