One of the points of socialist blueprints is to answer critics of
socialism who argue for capitalism by saying there is no alternative to
capitalism practically or theoretically, that there is an alternaive
worth fighting for. Blueprints are an antidote to people who say "I
agree with your criticisms, I don't like capitalism much either but what
is the alternative?" or "I fear the alternative would be much worse than
what we have now."
If a blueprint works in theory it must work in practice. If it
doesn't work in practice there's something wrong with the theory.
