It is better scale for human habitation. No one goes outside and ask how many degrees from boiling point of water is the weather. That is stupid. Then you use a decimal for finer scale. Just use 0 to 100.

Republicans gave up on the Cheneys and Bushes. They're voting Trump for a reason.

Cooperatives operate on equal votes, not equity, which is a potential problem in itself. Equal votes over who has the bigger stake. Liberal economics is better. Trying to impose a system instead of simply giving economic agents the freedom, and make suggestions themselves on how best to form and run business. Equality isn't a economic good.

You mean a cooperative? Those already exist. No need for "democratic economy".

There is no such thing as economic democracy because democracy isn't economics. It is politics. Socialism originally was a theory that capitalism was blocked by the use of money. To replace money, you need socialism to be centrally plan how and what people will work. Otherwise, who will take up jobs that are least pleasing, such as taking out the trash. What people claim to be socialism today is an idea of accessing resources at the expense of others. These are government programs with socialist traits, for example, how the Baby Boomers enjoyed the benefits of entitlement programs while generations afterward are going to foot the bill. That is a Ponzi scheme, which how socialism works, in reality, to be pleasing for people. It is a system that requires suckers who do most of the work.
