The amount of people who dont know what socialism is on this site boggles the mind. Workers own and organize the means and profits of production. That's it. That's the definition. No billionaires. The idea that the free market will fix everything is fucking absurd especially coming from someone making 50k a year with medical debt

ahem the workers don't. The government owns the means of production. In the name of the workers, of course.

It turns out workers are too stupid and deplorable to know anything about running businesses. They have to have smart people to do it for them. You leave workers to organize things on their own and what do you get? Donald Trump!
