    So you’re saying that noone does any work in socialist countries? They wouldn’t last many days if that was the case

      No? To the contrary, people need to work if they are able, at least until automation can cover most production and distribution.

        Exactly, that’s why it was weird of the commenter to object to someone saying that socialism isn’t “You won’t need to do any work and still get money” with “you should read some theory” as if socialist theory said that that was exactly what socialism is

              I understand that that is not what Socialism actually means.
              People who thought of the system weren’t idiots.

          Then you didn’t understand what was being said and should reread it. People work in socialist countries like I work in China we just have a minimum standard guaranteed to us and the government actually works for us instead of for corporations.

            yeah i did actually read it multiple times to make sure i didn’t misread it, did you?

            Edit: misread the comment thought the were making the quoted point.

            Let’s double check before making accusations next time
