Religion doesn’t count. We’re on Lemmy, so neither does communism.

I think also whispers Hayek did actually have some valid critiques of managed economies. I believe there are solutions to these problems tbc, but you can't just hand-wave the critique, even if he was an evil pos.

I don't think I've ever personally conversed with a right winger who has actually engaged with 'the good stuff' from the Right tradition however, so it's important to understand that the cultural impact of this stuff is negligible compared to e.g. Rand

Definitely agree on Hayek. He's one of the grandfathers of contemporary complex systems theory and has some stuff that's worth reading from that angle too.
