Do you not see the contradiction in your statement? What do you think happened when (real) work's done to ensure workers remain employed?
I would say what Marx called "false consciousness" does in fact exist -- witness Americans who tolerate high inequality because they think it allowes them to move up in the world, when in reality social mobility is higher in most of Western Europe, -- but English language already has a perfectly good phrase for that phenomenon: "wishful thinking". High-sounding terms like "false consciousness" exist only to make an even worse system look more appealing.
Planned economies have worked a bit in the past, they've been outperformed in terms of GDP by free market economies however. That's what you meant.
Yes, but in the Eastern Bloc, where trade was more tightly controlled, socialism failed because of "The Grass Is Greener" materialism. Some people wept because there were suddenly homeless people on the streets. Some people cackled because they could afford cuban cigars and they always wanted 15 diamond encrusted solid gold lamas.
Yo whom is this addressed to?
I do not. What made you think I do?
