Labels coming unstuck

OK, thing are all so screwed up, all I can do is lay it out as I see it. Not that I expect people to agree, mind, but that’s part of the fun, right?

Ideas are sticky. They roll through peoples’ heads and pick up a lot of other stuff which doesn’t actually have anything to do with them. So, systems of running an economy, such as capitalism and socialism/communism, accumulate around them ideas about government and society that actually have no logical or causal relationship to them.
