"The question of economic systems has never been about maximizing production. While market economies may be the most productive so far, they have many limitations. For example, if a farmer makes too much wheat or corn, he will have to lower the price because there is not enough demand to match his supply. If the system was about maximizing production, the farmer should be rewarded for being able to create so much food, not punished. Planned economies have either been about fool ideals of equality or building up a King or dictator's state. The nomadic tribes of mankind were... Fairly egalitarian barter societies. Ponder that, the richer societies are marked with heavy inequality while the egalitarian ones are not. That is because equality became a fool's dream when men began making surplus wealth. It's never been about having too little, we have too much. The question all economic systems have tried to answer ever since we developed this surplus was this; who deserves the surplus? The market system believes it should go to those that best please their customers, thus the farmer who produces too much is punished for not considering the consumer's demand. Although, this depend on what specific type of market system as some believe that a good portion of the surplus should be reserved for public good and whatnot while others espouse the greatness of a hands-off, completely meritocratic system. Socialism believes it should be spread evenly to... Hilarious results. Fascism believes the state should be given highest priority, thus it commands the economy, thus the surplus of wealth, under whatever economic system it sees fit to command it under. Anyway, that's about it for economics, really, who do you think deserves the surplus wealth? Everyone, someone, the state, a mix of the above or something completely different? That, my friends, is the true argument to almost every economic debate in this day and age."

- Herman Laupher, Phisychian Political Scientist. In Simplifying Economics and Economic Systems.

"My thoughts? I think both sides are complete assholes who are getting their panties in a twist over the death of a simple thief; I mean, you've got paramilitary thugs willing to stomp on folks' rights to combat the rioters and then you've got the rioters themselves who are anarchist thugs who are overreacting in a horrific manner to the murder of a common thief just because he was of a minor species within Vingaard."
