re: Religious dogma

"I shot your premise to hell." In your dreams. Spewing a lot of canned jingoism about the freemarket religion isn't even an argument, let alone a winning argument.

Defending the perfection of a theory over two centuries old, and that hasn't existed in practice in a century since we switched to an industrial economic model, is pure religious fanaticism. No doubt a Creationist would be equally self-congratulatory, and equally deluded.

You gave away the game when you started ranting about "the socialist faith" in a discussion of a hypothetical economic system derived from free-market capitalism. That attitude is much like that of a member of one Baptist sect denouncing another Baptist sect for heresy and all-around wickedness. As a religious fanatic, you clearly lack any sense of perspective.

I wasn't optimistic about having a rational discussion with you about economic theory outside the free-market dogma, but every once and I while I give it a shot just out of morbid curiousity. Get back to me when you can read the term "resource allocation algorithm" without suffering a messy cranial explosion.
