  1. When you say that something is good or bad, that's ethics.

  2. >I haven't met one liberal who can give an accurate definition of socialism. There isn't just one definition. Socialism has meant different things at different times. And most of the times when the word is used, it's not what you have in mind, ie the workers owning of the means of production.

  3. Socialism itself means different things and socialists don't agree on how restrictive they want to be. So everything is middle ground.

  4. Oh ok. So once you are no longer allowed to employ people or be employed, you will suddenly work extra hard for the "betterment of society"? Give me a fucking break. This is not how things worked in the DDR.

  5. Markets unite people, planning and sharing divides them. Imagine encountering a unknown tribe of people in the rainforest. They will be much more welcoming if they are pro markets. Then you are immediately a gain to them, rather than just suspicious.

  6.  @caidenbond1988  What I'm talking about is that if people in the tribe are allowed to trade with me, be it goods or labour, we can immediately profit from each other. If we are not then we'd first have to build trust. They would have to know that I pay back favours and vice versa.

  7. Good think capitalists don't have to worry about anyone's laziness. Socialism on the other hand is all about preventing that someone gets stuff while being lazy.

  8. What does that have to do with what he said? >They are basically saying they do not want to share the spoils created by productivity with the unproductive. That's the fundamental idea of socialism. Thanks for proving his point. Racism and socialism going hand in hand.

  9.  @redlorax5380  You obviously didn't understand my comment. Which is quite surprising given how short it is. If I didn't know what socialism (we are not talking about communism) is, my comment wouldn't make sense. So yeah shove your arrogance up your arse.

  12. >socialism has nothing to do with government Then who exactly keeps me from seeking employment, employing people or charging rent on land? Whatever comrade you send over to stop it, that's the government.

  13.  @JohnKobaRuddy  >Small businesses won’t be affected Then it's not socialism. Go talk to your comrades in this thread. They say: "no middle ground". >You do realise to implement capitalism it is done by force! Yeah same as the prohibition against rape requires force.

  14.  Luke  You hold a gun to my head and tell me that I can't seek employment. And that is freedom?
