    Oh cool, socialism is when you own a means of production but only keep some of the produced goods.

      If you keep more than you need, yes. Socialism is not about hoarding wealth especially in the form of necessary goods.

          IDK, maybe we could decide such things similar to how we’re having this conversation and we’re able to upvote on what’s being said. Totally unprecedented I know.

              Me: how about democracy in the work place?

              Reactionaries: but what about Stalin?

              Me: did I stutter?

        Ok, thanks for clarifying that the internet still has no idea what socialism is.

      Socialism is when you don’t have to do alienated work. And when noone else has to. Of course the productivity will be higher if you share the means of production with others. But it’s perfectly fine to work on your own too and harvest the fruit of your work. As you know, nobody gets rich by his own hands work, but you can get along. Capitalist exploitation starts when other people work for you and when you take the added value for your own benefits.
