>They're taking over everything. It looks like they've taken over a lot of the corporations. It looks like they've taken over the military. And it's just continuing
Lmao. If only.
Lmao. If only.
Housing and ration allowances
Free health care for you and your family
Better schools with newer, well maintained equipment
Employees are actually indentured (contractual terms which essentially make these government “property”)
Note I am both pro (lawful) military and NOT a socialist (I call myself a liberty minded conservationist hard-liner).
I was however raised a military dependent (grew up traveling and living throughout the world!)
I do recommend military service to those who aren’t quite sure their place in the world (airforce is a good branch for raising a family!) However I’m also a born and raised technology nerd and make ridiculously more income as a civilian.
The military actually needs technologists. They’re desperate.
Socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
While my example may not be entirely text book accurate, I only hear of socialists speaking as you say (advocating fairness as a principle.)
Impressions of working socialism are of a committee deciding who gets what (and what is in everyone’s best interests).
The example might very well be an authoritarian form of socialism, though not really trying to mince words, only to reveal that sometimes working systems we are familiar with actually work outside of the conventions we expect.
There are quite a few socialists who I respect (altruistic intellectuals), though few (0) working examples.
Co-ops are a great thing!
