    Our tax money when they inevitably screw a whole market over. So socialism

    Edit: you all think I’m shitting on socialism, when I guess I was failing to tie together how capitalists will enjoy socializing their loses, but never socializing benefits to society.

      Socialism is not the government giving money to capitalists. It is not paying for the cops to get tanks. It is not having an army.

      It is not even universal healthcare. That is just a government service you’ve been gaslit into thinking is socialism.

      Socialism is the workers owning the means of production. End.

      Now, if the government had bailed out the financial firms or car manufacturers and turned them into worker co-ops, maybe that would be socialism, but they didn’t.

        I’m pro social programs, I just spoke poorly. “Socialism for me but not for thee” was what I should have said
