Socialism does not require worker ownership.

Socialism has the state owning the means.

Full-blown communism has the workers owning everything.

Socialisk is the transition stage from capitalism to communism and the communit state is set up as god guide to progress people from socialism to pure communism (which will never happen).

Guy is nuts right here. Knows not what he speaks of.

If nothing else, this is a great example of a strawman argument.

Leftist Apologist

Steve Kangas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
Steve Kangas (Steven Robert Esh, May 11, 1961 – February 8, 1999) was a journalist, political activist and chess teacher known for his website Liberalism Resurgent [1] and highly political usenet postings.[2] Until 1986 he allegedly worked for the U.S. military.[citation needed] His stay in Berlin turned him from a conservative into an outspoken liberal.[3] His writings were sharply critical of the business propaganda of the overclass[4] and the CIA.[5]

Death
On February 8, 1999, Kangas was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a restroom on the 39th floor of the One Oxford Center, Pittsburgh, home to the offices of Richard Mellon Scaife. Kangas’ blood alcohol was 0.14 and his backpack contained 47 rounds of ammunition and a copy of Hitler’s Mein Kampf.[6][7]

Marx never wrote as to how the means of production would be accomplished or how it would work. Socialism can't work on any level and never has.

Because Marx never defined how it would work many have tried different methods and all have failed.

This Kangas guy is another Leftist Imbecile who is romancing a system that only works in the dim recesses of a Leftists mind.

It doesn't even necessarily involve de jure state ownership, as long as there is de facto state ownership and control.
