So you follow the logic that the more supporters you have the more influencial and presumabley the ''better' you are? I guess the Nazis were 'better' than us. They were certainly more influencial.

no. that's not the logic that I follow.  I consider popularity of a form of currency or money (the topic of this thread).  and I don't consdier money the root cause of the problem (Neither did marx who argued agains the mode of production, not ALL and ANY forms of exchange AFAIK).   You can call "popular support" whatever you want and if you're seeking to avoid people agreeing with you, then you're on the right track.  popular support is loosely correlated to "better".  More often than not people will recognize a bad idea and make that idea unpopular, but it's not a reliable single indicator of "better".  it's only a semi-reliable sigle indicator of "worse".  to make it a reliable indicator of "better" would be more complicated than just comparing popularity, but without any other rules, popularity is a good start.  A better resoning method would be more scientific than just "popular" and would ask about "popular with whom" such as popular with people who have a lot of money or popular with poeple who have little money.  Or you could reason about popular with poeple who are talking on SPGB discussion forum as one indicator and popular with economist as another indicator and you might argue that economist liking an idea is like nazi's liking an idea. in any case, you're right that popularity alone doesn't determine alone the merit of anything.  the question is how do you define "merit"?  it's a fuzzy concept and an idea you think is great might be the same as an idea the nazi's thought was great.  the Nazi's did lots of things and not all of them bad.  I read they put their shoes on one at a time and that seems to be very popular worldwide.  are you going to ague putting your shoes on must be done both at the same time using only one hand or else we're all nazi?  The nazi's did it that way so it must be bad?  The question is do these ideas, whether they come from nazi's or from you mcolme1 or from me are "better" and who decides "better".  The answer is in using fuzzy logic, which is a science designed to deal with these questions.  But I'll stop here because I think you are a dead horse and talking to you further isn't going to do much good.

This forum is becoming a cranks' convention. I suppose nobody else would be so tolerant of them but they just take advantage.

 Well, I know about several forums that they will be kicked immediately since the first post. They can join the forum of this organization http://revcom.us

 All you had to do was ask nicely and provide an appropriate link.  I'll check them out and they seem like maybe a better place for me to share.  SPGP loses a participant and they gain one.  No loss to you personally, but probably as loss to SPGP. 

. You can you do your own homework, but I will recommend  one. Join the forum of Disneyland

Millions of peoples voted for Trump in a popularity contest against  Hillary Clinton and he won the trophy as the next run up to run capitalism like her, new baseball players to hit the working class  He is also more popular than the socialist party and in a few days he has placed several human beings in a coffin  Aren't his voters responsible for those death ?  Those death can motivate others lunatics to continue the killings
