Tbh a ton of people across the political spectrum agree with that statement. Unfortunately the only tool dsa seems to bring is price controls, basically trading corporations for a completely inept and unaccountable government body. It’s a short term solution with populists blundering around implementing controls over stuff they don’t understand. Why would we trust these politicians to make economic decisions that have huge impact, despite a complete lack of qualifications?

He got a degree in Africana studies. I’m sure you understand being skeptical of his knowledge on economics… his policies are popular, but that’s not at all the same as being good in the long term. I guess time will tell.

Do you realize how racist that makes you sound?

If you intentionally misunderstood my point in order to make it about race, that’s on you.

Yes… completely unelected undemocratic, actually non-transparent and greedy/profit seeking by design private companies will certainly be more effective, the government totally can’t hire their skilled folk.

One of those is accountable to the actual value of goods, and the other is not.

If you think the only tool the DSA brings is price controls, I invite you to read their platform

Fair enough, I guess that’s just the one i hear about, and it’s obvious to me that it will fail. Maybe other policies are legit.
