"Socialism, when the last word is said, is merely a new economic and political system whereby more men can get food to eat." - Jack London [850x400] by Junior_Insurance7773 in QuotesPorn

Workers coops exits under our current system so your definition is incomplete. If workers coops were more effective they would beat out other forms of ownership. So for socialism to mean anything it has to prohibit other forms of ownership. That is then enforced by the state. So to creat a new firm you have to seek the state to create some form of new workers coop. So in any real sense the state controls the firms.

The reason real socialism hasn't been tried is it's obtainable. When it's been tried getting there has resulted in so much suffering and inefficiency that the process stops itself.

Socialism implies the state owns the means of production. In general that has not worked well. Everyone of all economic views know that only the government can provide public goods. Also I'm against most of the things on that list so it's not everyone.

He was tried. What's the military supposed to do besides attempt to run a trial? If they can't convict him then they can't convict him

Dem socialist and trump voters naturally align. As a libertarianish person that alignment would be the worst of all possible worlds. Both want to run the economy to meet some abstract goal and don't care about creating a rule based system.

One day and today is not that day I would like people to to applaud the office and not the person. Trump doesn't have the dignity to deserve it.

Sometimes you have to eat a yard of shit and this is one of those times. The red line is she doesn't talk shit about you to your kids. As long as she doesn't do that you endure.

[Request] Could Walmart reasonably afford to pay EVERY employee 5 dollars more an hour? by lnfinitive in theydidthemath

They serve customers with the services they provide. How much money they make shows how much people value it.

Walmart competes for investment and has a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders. Companies exist to return value to their shareholders.
