Socialism is a corporate ism and word that cannot lead to violence. In fact, farmer co-opts are socialist.

Farmer co-ops (cooperatives) are voluntaryist, rather than being coerced by the authoritarian exploiters, socialist or capitalist.

Yes, of course. Communism is enforced state redistribution. Socialism was never that nor is the def. that.

There are 3 kinds of socialism according to Marxist professor emeritus, Richard D. Wolff. I only support the 3rd kind: cooperatives.

Since COVID started and the election was obviously rigged, I just can't listen to Wolff who ignores the facts, including that ALL government is corrupt as fuck, even his beloved and promoted socialist (commie/totalitarian) government - and worse, now he's spouting a lot of SJW bullshit. How can he possibly think it will get better with MORE mafia government? Oh, he's paid to believe it.

Economic Update: 3 Basic Kinds of Socialism ~ Democracy At Work - [ I'm for the 3rd kind, micro-focused socialist democracy of the work place = Worker Coops, aka Worker Directed Enterprises. (Also, F all big governments everywhere.) ]

Which is basically employee owned companies.

Co-owned.

Not serving the interests of executives, boards, investors, owners, etc. at the expense of the workers, the community, the town/state/nation, and environment.

modern politics are inherently flawed in that the people are ultimately responsible for themselves, so it's 'people rule by people themselves'. so i wouldn't be surprised when world war 3 comes around.

some sector of the economy must be somewhat egalitarian though, like education and healthcare. there has to be some sorta egalitarian principles built into them to be practical.

IFIFY:
Authoritarian exploitation always leads to violence, socialist, capitalist, and/or totalitarianist.

Speaking of violence, I always get a good laugh from seeing the video of Stossel getting slapped by a wrestler and falling to the ground multiple times.

Shalom
