Dinner party guests...

Who would you like to invite to a dinner party for some sparkling and heated conversation... I'm imagining the following.

Karl Marx... For his views on communism as imagined
Stalin. .. Communism as an excuse
Henry Ford.. To try to counter the above
And maybe Ghandi for a totally different viewpoint

What do you think, someone dead before dessert is served?

No bloodshed, I think Gandhi would keep it civil 🙂

I would have:

Adam Smith . . optimistic sage of the age of capitalism
Friedrich Engels . . disenchanted millowner
John Maynard Keynes . . International man of action
William Beveridge . . pragmatic caretaker

Coffee to be accompanied by a Q&A session from Friedrich Hayek and Margaret Thatcher.

@SunshineGirl i don't think Ghandi could control that Georgian pig tbh...

I have to see who Hayek is... But the iron maiden lol....i can get proselytizing but not answering questions lol

@Convivial Hayek is to Thatcher what Marx is to Stalin . .

@SunshineGirl a gentle version?

@Convivial The philosopher to the politician who tried to apply their ideas to real life.

@SunshineGirl great idea... Where reality things headlong into theory

@Convivial It's not easy. At school I once tried an experiment in the redistribution of public goods . . but the cake turned out to be private property and the revolution soon fizzled out 😟

@SunshineGirl I think the correct term is "purloined" 🤣... But I do give you credit for a certain robin hood aspect to the act... Unless you were going to be the sole recipient of the above mentioned redistribution 🤔

@Convivial I took it from the kitchen. It was going to go stale if it hadn't been eaten that evening 😩
