Which is exactly the free market point – people won't work if they get paid the same for not working. That's one of the main things that makes socialism stupid and why it's always been a failure – it trusts fallen humanity to do what's in the best interests of society when that's against their personal interests. Mankind is inherently selfish – can't we agree? After all, socialists like yourself think corporations can't be trusted to govern themselves, meaning, in some degree, you agree with the proposition that mankind is inherently selfish, at least in the free market. What would exempt government from such tendencies? I am legitimately curious what the socialist excuse is.

Um… the person you’re talking to isn’t a socialist. They’re just very authoritarian center.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
This is a public thing, alright – socialists might see it. The person may not be all-out socialist, but certainly he's an authoritarian, and libertarian economics = free market economics
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
And you mistake them for a socialist multiple times. Remember, socialism is not “when the government does stuff”.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
Socialism is when the government goes beyond its single responsibility – the protection of God-given natural rights via enforcement of natural laws and punishment for criminals.
