    Well they have even less than 0 economics knowledge because the things they know aren’t true/real so it’s probably best to just save your breath because they won’t find the evidence persuasive. They could start by looking at corporate earnings per share under blue vs red administrations but they won’t or will just handwaive.

      What you’re suggesting is hardly relevant to economics literacy, and not at all relevant to communism.
