        Shankly demonstrated a common misunderstanding of the meaning of socialism, confusing it with egalitarianism. In fact it is state control of economy in the name of the public good - in practice delivering oligarchic control to whatever special interests control the state

        No. What you are talking about is communism.

        Socialism doesn't mean state control of industry? "Socialise" in this context literally means "bring under the control of the the collective (society)"

        Yes but the extreme version with oligarchic control is communism. Extreme capitalism has the same result.

        No, like all socialists, he made sure he was OK. Made sure he owned his own . Made sure he received mega bucks. Much like Benn.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/tax/11189430/Tony-Benns-inheritance-tax-dodge-how-it-works-and-how-you-can-use-it-too.html …

        #AANLM Liberals tend to think Socialism means being socially political. Like joining groups to save whales, rescue puppies, etc. That’s not Socialism; that’s being friendly & motivated. Socialism is massive redistribution of wealth in service of the state.
