How was this a strawman then?
Patria Antiqua said "I see socialism as a more useful way to advance a nation to first world status."
"Given the choice between living in a stone age society, and living in a modern society, I choose modernity."
I ask for an example.
Perhaps the better argument would have been:
Market economies have allowed most countries to modernize and become first world nations. There are negatives to market economies such as inequality. Socialism can help this.
Right. A country becomes 1st world through market modernizations and then once it has achieved technological stagnation it becomes time for revolutionary activity.
