One of the reasons I look with suspicion at anyone with a rigid ideology is that ideological rigidity tends to exclude some pragmatic solutions which may help to achieve the things you actually value.

Decide what you want to achieve, and then use any ethical means to achieve that, regardless of its source.

Interesting article on how food banks, with their somewhat socialist mind-set, incorporated “market” forces to help them allocate food donations not only where they were needed but where they are wanted-most. Apparently, so long as equity and generosity are factors in the general outline, market forces and even competition help to get resources to the right place, efficiently.
