Thank you for providing a great example of being confidently incorrect.

Do you have any example of working socialism?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are making the extraordinary claim, that despite socialism being used throughout the world, it simply doesn't work. Therefore the onus of proof is on you. So, can you please describe why socialism doesn't work?

Where. Give me an example of a socialist country

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

China, Cuba, Vietnam, and Laos are all examples of socialist countries today. China alone lifted over 800 million people out of poverty in recent decades. Compare that to the capitalist paradise in India.

As if workers give a shit about customers.

That would be an improvement actually, because the customers of these companies are not users, they are other companies looking to advertise or buy users personal data. The users of for profit social media are in fact the product, not the customers.

They do when they work in a cooperative and have a stake in the business being successful.
