I have been reading the works of the great social reformer Henry George. A socialist literate in political economy, he advocated a land value tax, which does not distort economic incentives as land cannot be produced.

I see many angry youths, even very intelligent angry youths entranced by neo-Marxism, which seems to consider any concrete policy proposal as “logocentric”.

I stumbled across a Marxist YouTube channel, PhilosophyTube, whose solution to the housing crisis was to outlaw the housing market and distribute the houses to democratic committees. Things like incentives for production, supply and demand, the many pathologies of democracy, the sense people have that they ought to be able to express their choice as individuals, public choice theory, and the fact that no given unit of housing is fungible were presumably too logocentric to address.

I have seen the Marxist movie before and where it leads is not pretty.

I would urge people who think egalitarianism is important to read George. The space of political economy is much larger than either left or right would have you believe.

There are forms of wealth distribution that do not decrease economic efficiency, such as said land value tax. Harberger taxes are another such policy.
