  1. But sharing doesn’t encourage hard work or innovation

  2.  @erikcordova1713  good point, sharing is a volunteering act, communism is forced charity

  3.  @DinoDino118  that’s a lie. Almost all innovations are done in private companies, with owners that have the incentive to succeed. Look at China. Once a heavily socialist country, in the 1970s they started to privatise almost every industry. Their economy exploded, pulling hundreds of millions out of poverty in a few decades. There’s many reasons why sharing doesn’t work. The main reason is the lack of personal accountability. The USSR was extremely inefficient because there was little incentive to make it efficient. In fact, most of the time it was beneficial to run under quotas so that next year you can get more people, more resources, ect.

  4.  @astralgod6448  well you don’t run to doctors for construction achieve, the same can be said for philosophers and economic advice. The economy is the backbone of humanity. Without a strong economy, you wouldn’t live the great live that you do. The internet? Technology? Your high life expectancy? All gone. We live a better life now than royalty did in the past. We live longer, happier, healthier. Why? Because we have a strong economy.

  5.  @astralgod6448  those two goals are not incompatible. You can incentivise growth and development while protecting our planet.

  6. Are you sure about that? Find me one capitalistic country that went on a mass genocide

  7. Haroon Aboo that’s not genocide, let alone a mass genocide. What they did in Iraq was liberate the people from terrorists.

  8. Dudicorn you can’t have equality if wealth if there isn’t wealth. That’s why communism fails

  9. Dudicorn it was a joke, I’m saying that communism leads to the destruction of the economy and thus all wealth

  10. Nazism funnily enough is very socialist despite Hitler’s hatred towards it

  11.  @pizzawithpineappleissuperi4377  https://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/riseofhitler/25points.htm This was Hitlers 25-Point Program. It details how he’s going to deal with rads, but also how he is going to control the economy. Fascism and socialism isn’t all that different.

  12.  @pizzawithpineappleissuperi4377  That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished. We demand the nationalization of all trusts. We demand profit-sharing in large industries. State capitalism is quite literally another word for socialism. Many people believe that the USSR was a state capitalist economy. Capitalism is: “an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.” By that very definition, state capitalism isn’t capitalism at all - just a form of socialism.

  13.  @pizzawithpineappleissuperi4377  state capitalism is a distant form of socialism? Then how come the USSR, the father of modern socialism - and possibly the biggest attempt if socialism ever is labeled as a state capitalist economy by many? Hitler did implement those points, not all but most. He mobilised a massive public workforce. The Reich Labour Service was a compulsory labour service for boys (and later girls) between the ages 18-25.
