If anybody is reading this, run it on a sand box & publish a threat hunt. 😎 I’m curious.

Leave it…

You’re right, the textbook definition is social ownership of the means of production, and “socialized costs” or “public support” would be more precise for what I’m describing. And I don’t think it’s “well-defined and widely agreed-upon.”

Marxists, market socialists, democratic socialists, and libertarian socialists all disagree on what it actually requires, and in everyday US usage it’s commonly used to mean government spending for social programs.

Either way, my point stands: we already collectivize risk and costs for some groups. The real question is who gets that help.

Here’s my opinion.

Every morning you drive on a road you didn’t build, drop your kids at a school you didn’t found, and trust that if your house catches fire, someone will show up without asking for a credit card first. None of that came from a business looking to profit. It came from all of us chipping in so everyone gets something we couldn’t manage alone.

That’s the basic idea behind socialism: we’re stronger when we pool what we have. And we already live it. When big banks and automakers were about to collapse, the government stepped in with public money to save them. If it’s fine to share the risk for corporations, why is it “radical” to share it for regular people?

So the question isn’t whether we do socialism. We already do. It’s who the leadership is willing to do it for.

Care to explain the main idea of your inference?

Uno signo de interrogación de apertura, is different than your freestyle butchery.

Many people just support the killing without the science, but the thought of having to do that instead of milking the teets kills my roach dairy dreams.

They have to kill the mothers. It’s nowhere near a practical food. One estimate suggested you’d need around a thousand roaches to get about 100 grams of crystals. The more realistic idea scientists floated was sequencing the genes behind the protein and producing it with yeast. 😬

Are you in the universe where people start sentences with question marks?

Every modern economy is mixed to some degree.

They don’t even know socialism exists in the US.

Also what you say is more tied to political identity instead of your actual beliefs whether or not the belief falls anywhere close to truth.

Is this your homework Larry?

Don’t worry they’re passing out TRT and ibuprofen.

EA was awful before anyway hopefully more people will boycott
