Who on the left is calling for the social ownership of the means of production? Abolishing capital if you will.
Did Chavez do it? Or did he simply replace private capital for state capital? Thereby leaving the wage laborer in the same predicament.
Are you seriously so fucking stupid you don't know what socialism is?
I just defined it for you. Do you lack the ability to understand?
It's actually been defined throughout history. Socialism kills not only nations but millions of people. It never can work out any different. Venezuela will next see millions die because they chose this route. Why would we do that here?
Yes and I defined it properly. As it has been defined throughout history. The social ownership of the means of production.
Who is calling for it to be done here?
Well you seem to be just a bit pissed off that healthcare isn't going further socialist. And then there's this, a moment of clarity from a lefty.
When doesn't socialism lead to that?
Socialism, communism, Nazism. All of them mean the government owns everything and doles it out to the fools as they see fit. Look at Venezuela and toilet paper, and oil, and healthcare.
Do you really not get this? You can't have socialism without the government running everything. If they don't it's not socialism.
