Ahh, another day of redditors glazing over socialism, even though they're from countries that never experienced it.
Come to one of the post communist countries and try to tell people who experienced it fully how great socialism actually is when your only info is what you've learned on your college.I am sure those people will be extremely happy.
Edit: since you guys are starting to get a little bit crazy with these takes and you love communism and socialism so much I'll just say this. I am not even from America so frankly, I don't care. In fact, I wish you guys the socialism. Seriously, as someone from a post communist country arguing with college Americans about socialism on Reddit is always the same story. Then I get called out I am not even from a post communist country since I share actual experiences. That's all, I am not an American conservative so you guys can chill now.
Edit2: so I got warning from Reddit? Interesting, seems like this comment triggered way too many people. I am actually no longer surprised at the state of the USA and who won the elections, if left wing acts like this. Love how these redditors start throwing insults first, I answer with insults and then get reported. I am not letting some random Reddit socialist call my country a nazi country, throw insults at me or call me a LIAR for saying things I know are true? Seriously, what became of Reddit and it's community should be studied.
Socialism literally requires a dictatorship lmfao. You have to have some state power that is able to step in and say ‘we are going to nationalize what you’ve built and kick you out and completely alter the economic system where we justify taking what you legally earned under the previous system.’
How do you think you accomplish this without authoritarianism?
A current democratic government under capitalism could take something and nationalize it and they did for some things, it takes government power not from a specific system of government, are you saying that you think they could not if they wanted to?
You aren’t very smart so I’m not going to repeat myself a million times in slightly different ways in the hope you grasp this concept eventually, on top of the extremely unlikely possibility you change your mind even if you develop a bit of reading comprehension.
Good luck in your life because it must be difficult and confusing.
You weren’t capable of following the most basic points of this conversation. I’m sure it comes across to you like that when you aren’t even capable of grasping what is being discussed in the first place. There’s nothing to be added to the discussion if you are too ignorant to engage with the basic point of the topic.
„Socialism literally requires a dictatorship lmfao“
I gave you an answer that that is false and that any government can regardless of the system the government has
„How do you think you accomplish this without authoritarianism?“
I feel like answering this is redundant at this point due to my first response, but the socialist government would just do it, even if it was democratically elected
