    Hilarious how even in the context of jokes people still can’t come up with criticisms of socialism that aren’t already happening lmao.

        Quite literally almost everybody is whether they realize it or not. Even most “anarchists” argue for some form of socialism. Everybody wants roads and a fire department…

          Anarchy requires socialism. Monpolies empower hierarchies of violence to work against humanity. As the original post suggests, humans are unable to pursue passions and a wage to live.

          Socialism is not when some state does stuff, but when humans collectively own the means of production. Humans fight fires. Humans build roads. Bosses take credit.

          The ideological war is easy to win.

          What socialism needs is competent people getting involved locally, creating organizations, networking.

            It’s really not. 1/3 of people absolutely despise any form of socialism granted strictly to the people with no immediate benefit to an authority. The moderate 1/3 is just a constant roadblock to any form of progress, very receptive to regression and usually will side with the first 1/3 while complaining slightly about everything but only ever willing to condemn progressives and socialists. So we have, at best, 1/3 of people who are even willing to consider socialism enough to be able to define it.
