  • Hey, thanks for the thoughtful question, sorry to see people downvoting you.

    Socialism is a broad tent - all it functionally means is that instead of the ruling class owning all of the factories, businesses, hotels, etc. where people work, the actual people who do the work own and control their workplace. Instead of having a single boss at work who owns the place, you’d have a stake of ownership yourself, and equal say over your workplace.

    So there are obviously lots of different approaches we can take to achieve that, and I agree we need to learn from history and avoid the mistakes of the past.

    Capitalism inevitably results in fascism, so it’s a choice either between a utopian ideal that can be difficult to achieve, or a capitalist death cult which is guaranteed to consume as much as it can before it collapses.
