A better name for socialism? Ineffective Altruism.
Nowhere does this post explain which elements of socialism are intrinsically more efficient at delivering a better outcome for more people than Effective Altruism. And any that are proven to do so would then become elements of both EA and Socialism.
Either way, Socialism remains focused on economic equity, community ownership of industrial hubs, and general egalitarianism. Ideological priorities, of which, none have been proven to lead to better outcomes for more people, in fact, which, so far, have had major negative effects on the nations which attempt to implement them.
The reverse of this post could be written, explaining that training the entire population to be effective capitalist agents would be one of the highest RoI policies that EAs could push for, and it would almost certainly be correct.
All in all, bad ideas, advocated by the intellectually weak, appealing mostly to the genetically subpar.
