So you are not full socialist I take it.

I am

But it doesn’t contradict full socialism to only provide welfare to people who deserve it

Like old people or people who are unable to find work

So do you believe the government should run the economy?

I am also a socialist who would refuse aid to those able but unwilling to contribute

No I believe workers should for the most part

How so?

Things should be nationalized though

Not a socialist
but I agree with the socialists

Workers should be supported by the state

How could workers run the economy?

By controlling their workplaces

Leeches should be left to starve if they would like to not work

You need businessmen to direct them.

There are co-ops without bosses that exist that are succsssful

Successful

But that's the exception, not the rule

You’re talking about a co-op

That’s an exception.

It’s not an exception, it’s just rare because there aren’t many co-ops

A lot of co-ops are family or friends working together.

That’s exception

Co-ops in this sense are coworkers working together

Here is my problem.

I’ve worked my ass off to get where I am in life and so did my parents to give me a head start.

The business myself and my family built is built on my blood sweat and tears of my life

Small businesses should be allowed to exist

Privately

And socialism would take that away.

All large businesses and corporations should be abolished

^^^

You realize massive companies that make millions upon millions are private right?

Yes

Especially info control institutions

Aka big tech

so if I set a little bakery somewhere, they won’t take that away?

Nationalize it

That’s stupid. Those massive companies are the ones that build the industry.

@DoobyCooby Correct

@Attika That’s why it happens slowly
