Socialism as a concept is not bad. Just as social justice as a concept is not bad.
In practice they're the shit stains of humanity though
>>69224513
implying Sanders, the manipulating card-playing lazy slob would sacrifice anything of his own for anyone.

Were you born retarded? The entire federation was a socialist utopia, you moronic fuckwad. Did you ever even watch Star Trek, or just heard that quote and got triggered like a bitch?
What a dumb sack of shit, fuck you.

For the tenth time, you can't describe a post-scarcity society as 'socialist'

He thinks logically, so yes.

That's Benthamism

Leanord Nimoy directed a movie that was all about Spock's ideology getting BTFO. Then he appeared in the 2009 Abrams film just so he could tell the new Spock "don't listen to logic all the time."

Literally the only way socialism/communism would work.
>>69224613
Basically anything with the word "social" in it is a red flag.
>>69226545
Hardly.
In a universe were all labor is mechanized and you can materialize resources, socialism is the best choice.
>>69224547
it most definitely is

But then nobody actually works so nobody gets anything because it's not their own labor. Except for the robots I guess.
socialism should be the end goal of any economy but what many don't realise is capitalism is the best way of achieving it. a good example would be the basic universal income which could and should be something we work towards while machines continue to take traditionally working class jobs.

Anyone gets everything because you can literally create anything you want out of thin air.
>nobody actually works
Most people in the Federation work. They do for self-fulfillment and the betterment of the Federation.

This is what I keep trying to tell this retards who are trying to apply the word 'socialist' to a society without scarcity. Socialism as it exists in contrast to capitalism or communism has to do with treatment of redistribution and government control.
When you can replicate food and shelter almost effortlessly there is no need to 'redistribute' anything or have taxes at all. It would be a waste to NOT give the free stuff to anyone who wanted it.
>>69226853
This.
I started reading this thread in disappointment but then you showed up. Good to know you exist. You go, you.

Capitalism allows the needs of the few to be fulfilled by having them fulfill the needs of the many.
