you're not a socialist, you're a retard.  as a leftist you're most probably in favor of demand economic policies. do you know what happen when you make money rain on normies, expecting them to improve the economy with their purchase, all of this while having no tariff? you kill your trade balance and subsidize foreign industries with local tax money.  that's what the west has been doing for decades, not by actually improving poor's situation but by importing non saving tards from shitholes to fill the jobs that couldn't be offshored. and i'm not even talking about the environmental cost of going full retard on foreign trade (and the inability to have decent norm control on foreign industries).  fuck your mangoes, things that you can't grow in your backyard are supposed to be expensive.
