so which of these is socialism. the lower left one still seems like capitalism to me
-
how so? the government is spending the people's money on the people. This is how socialism functions in the real world.
-
socialism is not government control of the means of production
-
Who's definition of socialism are you using as I was fairly certain that socialism was the government control of the means of production.
-
socialism means the workers control the means of production. government is entirely optional
-
Fairly certain that's communism. Socialism is state control of the means of production and is usually thought of as the temporary stage between capitalism and full communism.

These chodes talking like "economizing" and "seeking highest value" aren't the same fucking thing.

I'm a proud liberal. (Sorry.) We've been fighting this mercantilism bullshit for 200 years, had it on the run. It was easy because those fuckers don't create any value and we do. How the fuck are we now losing to them?
