Depends on what type of socialism
it isn't an economic system itself, it's a group of them
which is the most popular
I'd say communism
but that's more of an end goal
can i start my own business and hire someone
Well there's a type called market socialism
where you could start a co-operative
where basically all the workers democratically manage the business rather than an individual
is that equivalent to a business partnership
like one of these
Not sure but there are already co-operatives that already exist in this capitalist system
this for example
or this
can i fire people in that
I'm honestly not sure how that would work
I'm not really a market socialist though
Communist but still haven't really read much or thought about the theory of achieving it
Oh yeah here's another co-op
@Deicidium What are you ideologically?
libertarian transhumanist
left or right libertarian?
right
xD
@Deicidium Basically socialism is many systems based on social ownership
Everybody thinks socialism only took place in the USSR, China, or Cuba
which was really just a janked planned economy and shit
If you want better examples, there's revolutionary Catalonia, the Ukranian free territory, Rojava
isnt capitalism social ownership
since anyone can buy shares
What do shares have to do with social ownership?
came here to learn how such a system would work
