Socialism does not need to be regulated by a government. It’s a form of economy. However, we currently socialize many industries in a capitalist nation, and by socializing more industries, we can improve the lives of poor people at the expense of the wealthy, effectively keeping capitalism more equitable.
It’s okay to be a social democrat, buddy, welfare states are perfectly acceptable forms of ideological liberalism.
One might even call it a step on the path to actual socialism. Someone should write a book about these transitionary states, perhaps leading to the eventual withering of the state entirely.
Weird idea, I wonder if there’s literally millions of pages of thought on how to do that, or if some state somewhere just, like, didn’t let individuals own factories and such
Then I hope you like eating dent corn. The US produces a fraction of its resources, addressing the economy with a full upheaval would inevitably deflate the US Dollar enough to destroy our import/export trade for quite a while.
Socialism is when the government does stuff, huh

What do you propose as an alternative way to address the wealth inequality without completely redesigning capitalism?
Have you considered… Abolishing capitalism?

Sure. I was 20 once. I’m asking realistically. How would you propose addressing the wealth inequality within the means of our current system?
Our current system isn’t even that old. Burn it down. Stop internalizing the idea that capitlaism is necessary or inevitable.
