Socialism or capitalism doesn't matter in that regard
You can't sell it to anyone, because nobody can afford to buy the entire thing because you redistributed all the fucking wealth
if you're talking about socialism then it would just be collectively owned?
Furthermore redistributing the wealth is fucking retarded anyway, because even if you did somehow snap your fingers and do it, 0.05 seconds later someone would buy something and wealth would be uneven.
June collective ownership doesn't work beyond like 3-4 people.
i mean what do you mean by work
You have to give it to the state at that point
which isn't the same
no you don't
Redistribution of wealth doesn't mean equal wealth
Depends on what you mean by collective ownership
If you have a car, and 100 people own it, try to use the car.
I think you're misunderstanding the meaning of socialism
there are cooperative businesses with literally millions of employees
that's a lot more than 3 or 4
Socialism is supposed to plug all the holes basically so no one has to suffer, that's the theory at least
It's not supposed to make everyone equal
So do they pay a fee when they join the company to buy part of it
How the fuck does everyone owning everything in the entire company work
Someone bought the equipment.
someone handles the money and signs paychecks
Socialism doesn't say anything about equality
Then who is the 'collective'
yeah usually the owners vote on the managerial staff
The goal of socialism is to establish communism
a system in which everyone is equal
and delegate managerial duties to them
not necessarily
No, not everyone is equal under communism
you're speaking of marxism specifically
In a system with no property, no government, and no money
From each according to their ability to each according to their needs - that's not a matter of equality, nothing in there says that
Socialism and Communism sound like Hinduism but lame and no market economy.
well socialism doesn't mean there can't be a market economy
I bet if you asked Marx right now, he'd probably scoff at the idea of equality
depending on how it's defined at least
"From each according to their ability to each according to their needs" is advocating for equality of outcome dude
No it isn't
Not really
the relationship between marx and egalitarianism is a complicated one
If one produces more, and the other needs more, the extra the one produced goes to the other
