What is socialism?

[Violet]

Sae, I saw your grid, you are right near that line seperating the grid between liberal and libertarian.

It means personally you want as much freedom as you can get, but that you want your government to "ensure" certain things, wether it be public schools or welfare or whatever it was that you put on that test that government service you wanted to have.

I would say you are a very, VERY light socialist, and an extremist when it comes to personal freedoms from the image you posted.

I don't mind private schools existing... but the government does need to have an option available for those with no/little money. Whether you call it public school or vouchers is really a question in it's own. Social security also needs to continue, and i don't mind the government opening it up to donations so long as they continue to maintain it. Health the same.

I don't think I'm an extremist... if you make a rule i won't follow: i'm not going to go blow up a hundred people or mine the roads... i'm just not going to follow it

That's consistent with my position, don't know about the "best hands best tools" shit though, the tools end up in whatever hands they do and it's none of my business to order them elsewhere.

If we're under the ideal of a somewhat regulated public market, it is simply that the most reputable doctors are the first ones expensive/new medical equipment go to. It's the same understanding I have towards the best marksman in the military being the first one to receive the high-end rifle. If you have the money to afford the price of these things without being on the top end, i don't mind you buying it... but it's a priority system to me if you don't.

You might qualify as a "Libertarian Socialist" though some of them seem like they just want to storm every corporation and business, arrest every employer and appoint their own people while giving all the shares to the employees - I think that people owning their production is a good idea, but they have to do it the right way - Start a business, buy shares in one you work for, form a collective to purchase businesses and join unions - But to take it by force is completely immoral.

There is only one type of situation in which that course of action is defensible (that being when the country is in vital need of their assets and cannot obtain them fast enough any other way). Outside of that, the position is untenable (and especially impractical).
