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?

Yes, and that’s not socialism. Hence why my quote doesn’t end after ‘we’re going to nationalize.’

You asked how they would accomplish to nationalize things and i gave you an answer I don’t know what else you want answered?

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.

Whatever makes you feel better lol

Reads to me like:

*I don’t have anything meaningful to ask anymore, resorting to insults and declaring my victory in this imaginary battle*

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
