People that think socialism is a good idea just have no idea what incentive structures are.
Discussion
Or they are benefiting from socialism and are into different type of incentives.
what is socialism?
that's is comunism
Which is what the natural incentives of socialism always leads to...
socialism and communism are two distinct things at least in Europe
Communism is just hardcore socialism. When you try to create equality through redistribution and that doesn't work because you still allow some private property, they turn to communism to finish the job. Which always results in dictatorship. Usually some socialist is "democraticly" elected. Then the seasure of the means of production happens. When the government owns the means of production "socialism" it becomes impossible for people to remain democratic when the government then says, well if you don't vote for me, then you're not getting food. And then you get communism.
