When commpanies compete, everyone suffers, and being competitive is a bad thing. We would all be much better off if no one had any competitiveness at all and we all just got along equally.

I see you missed the history of the Soviet Union. That's ok, you can still see how well an economy without competition works if you can get a visa to Cuba or North Korea.
The purpose of business is to provide for the needs of Society, not to generate private profits.

This is only true if you are an F-tard

1 out of 1 Nobel Laureates agree competitors might be better served teaming up and forming gangs:

You're obviously a loser with no marketable skills who wants to spend life leeching off the success and hard work of others. Typical lib mentality- what you don't have enough welfare checks and food stamps as it is- or do you want more handouts? Scum of the earth.

This is an exceptionally lame troll attempt. Hard to believe you got some responses. But responses implies non-zero points, hence the "1".

That was a time without computers. Today computers could easily be used to fix prices of different things. There's no reason why a planned economy could not work.
There's really no other option in the future. Economic growth can't last very long anymore. Capitalist system requires 3% yearly growth.

Exceptionally lame, indeed. Hilarious, however, how quickly some of the lame-brains here push the "evil liberals are to blame for everything" button. You'd think that vaudeville routine would have gone out of fashion long ago.
Why don't you stupid americans understand that liberalism and socialism are two opposite views?

Yes, in theory. In theory, however, bald guys could transplant their pubes on their head and claim to have hair. It's not likely to work out well in practice though.

In any other country, you would be right, but in America, liberals have adopted virtually every belief of socialists, then fight being called sociaists.
Save your "stupid americans" slur for people who respect bigots like yourself.
4/10 I'll upgrade my score if you get some more posts

Seriously, does anyone with an actual brain believe this nonsense?
Does anyone who could write such baloney have a clue about REAL liberalism, or REAL socialism?
I think not. The looney right has "succeeded" in destroying (or at least confusing) any meaningful definition of either word.

I agree. It's too bad we only have the Fake kind of Liberals in this country. It would be easier if they just called themselves Real Socialists.
American liberalism is focused on social policy and income redistribution. Basically, a subset of socialism.
You have to admit that communism is the only solution.
Capitalism only favors rich people and leads to excess related diseases like obesity, stupidity.
After considering and reconsidering, I don't find any better solution than communism. Everybody matters, don't be overly greedy.
Take some economics, dude. It's not lack of computers that cause price fixing to fail. It's the incentive to cheat. The first one to cheat from the scheme stands to benefit a lot. One of the reasons why OPEC failed is they couldn't get their members to adhere to the supply quotas. Members would start pumping more oil than their quota called for thinking that everyone else would stick to the agreement and then they could sell more then their quota for the same high price. Soon everyone is cheating and the price comes down because of too much supply.
Communists always thought if they just planned a little better (i.e. if they could do the planning instead of the other fuzzy head screwing it up), then the plan would work. But it can never work because there are too many little decisions made at the individual level that the planners can never control, governed by self-interest and signaled to the rest of society through the price system. A price is not just something to be fixed to make money for corporations. It's vital information for consumers and producers about what is scarce, abundant, needed, desirable, convenient, etc.
Quick, everyone post the dumbest political idea that ever ran through your head!
2/10.....Bad delivery. Not even close to believable.
