If that's an objective fact, it's either not at all obvious, or I'm just stupid (I probably am).

Whether or not a socialist revolution is possible is not subjective. It's either possible or it isn't, and my opinion doesn't change the fact one bit. Whether or not a socialist revolution would be a good thing is subjective, and in my subjective judgment (which, again, probably arises from stupidity), it certainly wouldn't be.

A bit off topic, but how do you respond to the calculation problem? I assume you don't think it's a problem at all, since you seem to think that under socialism our economy would be many times more efficient than it is today. But why isn't it a problem?
