Yep. And the 'perfect' can be a guiding ideal that's always held aloft as the destination for those who advocate for these reductions. Celebrate small wins but never forget the big fight essentially.

But my point was that it's possible to take a non-advocate stance about these things as well. Like for eg, one doesn't have to call himself a libertarian to understand that calculation is not possible under socialism or that price controls can cause shortages or surpluses.

That's what makes economics such a powerful intellectual tool for freedom.
