Democratic Socialist Mondaire Jones Claims Socialists Understand Economics Better Than Capitalists

Another Democratic SOCIALIST Has Won An Election, THIS Is What It Means For You
What was said
"Throughout this process, I've been reminded of the words of the Austrian economist, Friedrich Hayek. If socialists understood economics, they wouldn't be socialists. If these past months have shown us anything, it is that socialists not only understand economics just as well as the capitalists who came before, but that we can solve their years of mismanagement through an embrace of our principles."
Democratic politician Mondaire Jones directly challenged Friedrich Hayek's famous quote about socialism and economics, claiming socialists understand economics as well as capitalists and can solve economic mismanagement through socialist principles. The statement came after a Democratic Socialist primary victory in Colorado and represents an increasingly bold embrace of socialist ideology within Democratic Party politics.
