@gcnstudio ummm socialism isn’t against that even. Socialism is wanting to replace wage labor with labor associations. Economic democracy. And while some are communists, there are market socialists that support free markets. America has a history of it. Look up Josiah Warren, Benjamin Tucker, Lysander Spooner. All socialists for free markets. And all anti-capitalists. Even socialists outdo capitalists in support of free markets. Before Marx, socialism grew out of radical liberalism and were the original libertarians. A communist coined the term libertarian in fact, Joseph Dejacque. And Proudhon, a libertarian socialist, described socialism as such: “Under the law of association, transmission of wealth does not apply to the instruments of labour, so cannot become a cause of inequality. [...] We are socialists [...] under universal association, ownership of the land and of the instruments of labour is social ownership. [...] We want the mines, canals, railways handed over to democratically organised workers' associations. [...] We want these associations to be models for agriculture, industry and trade, the pioneering core of that vast federation of companies and societies, joined together in the common bond of the democratic and social Republic.”
Socialism has no need of Marxist Statism. Libertarian socialists were before Marx, opposed Marx, and continue to be after Marx. I myself advocate free market socialism and anti-capitalism.
