No. I would be catching lobster.Why do you think people would not want to improve their conditions only because it would improve the conditions for everyone?Not true. The difference between socialism and capitalism is in the ownership of the means of production. Having a system based on social ownership is not at all dependent on private ownership.Even socialists know they need capitalism to survive.
Yes, based on private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" provides no incentive toward individual effort, since any such profit is largely absorbed by the state for redistribution, and thereby reducing itself the very profit it seeks.
If I were working under such a system, and the salary for four of the eight hours I worked went to pay for others not working, I would not work.
I'd get the EBT card and eat lobster. Wouldn't you?
Not in Kansas.
