I suppose I’m reacting to “Socialism sounds good because it is posited as a system where people share more.”

Nobody posits it as a system where people voluntarily share more. I don’t want socialism because I believe that Elon will share more and throw me a few scraps. Socialism sounds good because we will never have to rely on Elon voluntary sharing so that my kids have public schools etc. and yes of course to build the roads.

Sometimes I’m still amazed at how easy it is for us to believe that because the government has monopolized something, that it would be impossible to have it without them, even if we did before government monopolized it.

Guilty as charged. I look at Sweden’s healthcare system, and really find it hard to believe that this would just happen organically if you took the government away.
