but thats not even the main point

2019-05-28 05:48:30 UTC  

you think socialism is evil because of its economic failure

2019-05-28 05:48:36 UTC  

thats *planned economies*

2019-05-28 05:48:44 UTC  

i agree, totally spastic idea

2019-05-28 05:48:57 UTC  

also high taxes

2019-05-28 05:48:58 UTC  

idk what possessed the "communists" to try it

2019-05-28 05:49:15 UTC  

the socialism advocated for today is market socialism

2019-05-28 05:49:24 UTC  

ie we dont abolish the markets that exist in capitalism

2019-05-28 05:49:29 UTC  

theyre good and useful

2019-05-28 05:49:47 UTC  

we just have extremely heavy restrictions on ownership

2019-05-28 05:50:02 UTC  

which is never good for the markets

2019-05-28 05:50:05 UTC  

ie if a company gets above $x marketcap, its either nationalised or mutualised

2019-05-28 05:50:10 UTC  

see thats where youre wrong

2019-05-28 05:50:17 UTC  

point to a single example where thats been true

2019-05-28 05:50:39 UTC  

(i can point to a million examples of private ownership going wrong)

2019-05-28 05:51:43 UTC  

I´ll give you an example: lets say you put the nationalisation cap to 10 billion in revenue. Now tell me, why tf should I develope my company to reach that 10 billion revenue mark? I´ll just keep it in the 9 billion mark.

2019-05-28 05:52:16 UTC  

Companies will basically be told "DONT FUCKING GROW OR WE NATIONALISE U"

2019-05-28 05:52:18 UTC  

well i personally advocate for discretion

2019-05-28 05:52:22 UTC  

rather than particular number

2019-05-28 05:52:24 UTC  

BUT

2019-05-28 05:52:35 UTC  

that just promotes insecurity

2019-05-28 05:52:38 UTC  

i know

2019-05-28 05:52:43 UTC  

so if we did have to use a number

2019-05-28 05:52:49 UTC  

we dont have to mandate nationalisation

2019-05-28 05:52:53 UTC  

it can be mutualisation

2019-05-28 05:53:06 UTC  

ie the workers all get a slice of the revenues

2019-05-28 05:53:16 UTC  

but you know what we can do to keep the incentives in place?

2019-05-28 05:53:26 UTC  

we allow the original owner to have the same piece he had before

2019-05-28 05:53:52 UTC  

so there is still inequality generated by successful entrepreneurship

2019-05-28 05:53:58 UTC  

but its capped

2019-05-28 05:54:01 UTC  

it doeswent work like that

2019-05-28 05:54:09 UTC  

yea so then debunk it bud

2019-05-28 05:54:21 UTC  

owner has 100% of the shares

2019-05-28 05:54:28 UTC  

now you give the company to the people

2019-05-28 05:54:35 UTC  

but he still has the same amount of shares?

2019-05-28 05:54:39 UTC  

does not compute

2019-05-28 05:54:39 UTC  

no omfg

2019-05-28 05:54:39 UTC  

GG @Green Syndicalism, you just advanced to level 2!

2019-05-28 05:54:46 UTC  

okay let me make it clearer

2019-05-28 05:54:54 UTC  

say you hold 100 shares

2019-05-28 05:55:04 UTC  

and your net revenues are say $100
