What people need to know

What people need to know | In our stupid capitalist society, houses are built to make a profit instead of housing people, and food is produced to make a profit instead of feeding people. If feeding and housing more people doesn't make a profit, they don't do it. In capitalism, things are done for a profit; in socialism, things are done for people. | image tagged in socialism,capitalism,socialist,communist,leftist,left wing | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Yes but go deeper, people make food so they make a profit so they can feed their families
People make houses to make a profit so they can house their family

you got it all wrong, in socialism the government controls more things then a capitalist government does. This often leads to more corruption in a socialist government leading to people not getting what they need. In a capitalist government the government controls less things. People manage their own business in capitalism and have more freedom in capitalism. When doing their own business, they often want profit so that they get more money so that they buy things such as food or other things, and/or pay rent/mortgage.

number 1, are you saying capitalism is only freedom for the property owners? That's not freedom, that's privilege. It's not freedom unless it's freedom for everyone

number 2, stateless/libertarian socialism exists

Libertarian socialism/communism is where you own your work. The workers own their work, not a CEO/boss/owner. And private property is abolished

In communism, if the government wanted to then they could redistribute all of your stuff.

i am not saying socialism is when the government does stuff. the means of production and property are owned by the government in socialism and not citizens
0 ups, 10mo
in socialism the means of production are owned by all citizens

when it's owned by government, it's called state capitalism
