  “collective ownership” is not vague. the simplest way to transform capitalism into socialism is to make every company a co-op and implement progressive tax policy.

    ;D Maybe if your understanding of economy does not go beyond people in factories make things :D

    I mean, you have no right to act this clueless when the mai post gives one of the issues away. How do you get investments into new companies? Or are we done inventing new thing?

      dude you’re insufferable oml

      investments can come from public funding for research which is democratically decided or headed by democratically elected experts

      the entire ideology I hold is that people need to be directly involved in economic decision making. that is all. it can’t be held away from the people, because then the decisions won’t benefit them.

      can you please not act like such a prick when making your points?

        Bot those are details you are leaving out. How is this public funding collected, who decides where it goes, how are these people elected.

        These are the kind of things you need to figure out. My belief is you can’t, because it does not work. You will not be able to create a system that works for the greater good.

        But maybe I am wrong. Prove me wrong. Show me a detailed plan. “Some committee will distribute some funding” is so vague there is no way to debate over it.
