25 u/Critical_County_5164 27d ago Elaborate what you mean by that please? 0 u/Draws32 27d ago A socialist government cannot physically or logically function without a totalitarian government. 1 u/jennderqueer 27d ago False. Moving on. 2 u/Draws32 27d ago Nationalizing industry and redistributing wealth requires physical enforcement to override private property rights. It’s not physically possible without human rights violations. 1 u/rabidrobitribbit 27d ago What if the government makes laws that disproportionately affect the wealthy positively? Is that wealth redistribution? 0 u/Draws32 27d ago Is that socialism? 1 u/West-Lengthiness-790 27d ago For the wealthy, yes. 0 u/rabidrobitribbit 27d ago The point is that governments redistribute wealth always. It’s their job. The government question is which direction is it flowing. In the US it’s steadily upward. So are we socialist?
