So you're saying that noone does any work in socialist countries? They wouldn't last many days if that was the case
No? To the contrary, people need to work if they are able, at least until automation can cover most production and distribution.
Exactly, that's why it was weird of the commenter to object to someone saying that socialism isn't "You won't need to do any work and still get money" with "you should read some theory" as if socialist theory said that that was exactly what socialism is
I don't think that was their intention.
Based on their edit it wasn't, they had misread the original comment
I understand that that is not what Socialism actually means.
People who thought of the system weren't idiots.
I know, QuinShi was the one i was critiquing since they were trying to correct you when it was really just them not understanding your original comment
I think you replied to the wrong person
Nope
Then you didn't understand what was being said and should reread it. People work in socialist countries like I work in China we just have a minimum standard guaranteed to us and the government actually works for us instead of for corporations.
yeah i did actually read it multiple times to make sure i didn't misread it, did you?
Let's double check before making accusations next time
