' which is why we should socialise the cost of medicine and research.'
Which would mean the tentacles of the state would reach into every corner of society.
.And then we end up with a Tommy Lysenko who held back Russian agriculture for decades. A special mention has to go to the appalling pollution that irresponsible 'socialist' bureaucrats allowed to flourish.
So what is so good about the traditional 'socialist' model? An entrenched opportunist 'socialist' government has no use for any scientific progress. Holding onto power is their #1 and #2 and #3 concern. Their need to lie to the population is aided by keeping them ignorant. Pol Pot would be a hero of the left if he hadn't killed off all the educated citizens. Wait. He is their hero.... in private.
