It is kind of baffling to me that I have friends who unironically call themselves socialists, to me it is the same as if I walked around calling myself a nazi.
Anyway... most of them point to America as an example of the woes of a capitalist economy (disregarding the fact it is also the most powerful nation in the world), while I try to explain to them that USA is more and more looking like a backwater communist banana republic.
A central bank is one of Karl Marx's 10 planks of socialists and we need to remind people that fiat money is socialism, not free market economics.
