@mgm9995: Replying to @Misty it’s giving “you can have anything on the menu as long as your rational & don’t go overboard” 😅 #fyp #politics #learning #teachersoftiktok

nullwristmotion :

I’m a socialist, but this is not a good definition of Socialism at all. It’s more of a definition of “social democracy” if anything

Khoala_King :

So I responded to that comment too, because it's close, but there's a slight misconception. Communism is the utopian ideal, which can only be achieved after ever nation becomes socialist. After which, the borders and governments decay to nothing. It's likely unachievable, however, striving for that ideal can only elevate everyone.

stareyedgirl☆ :

makes sense to me too

Aesthetic Ghost :

All three of her definitions are wrong: it’s never been about the possibility of being poor or rich, but about the property of the means of production. You could be poor in communism too if you just decide not to work. The difference is that the workers own the means.

kpfordictator2050 :

Socialism is when proletariat own means of production, the whole “compromise between capitalism and communism” is a babied version of a social democracy.

HX37 :

It’s wrong tho haha

rora :

no so I'm sorry the comment is wrong, there's diffences in socialism and communism yes, but that's not what it means. if you read the communist manifesto you'll get a better understanding. it's just 40ish words. also useful is the marx's capital BUT if it seems too much or too complex there's a summary written by an italian leftist and a illustrated version of it. the first summary you can find for free on marxist.org and as for the illustrated version you can find the pdf online if you know where to look

DavidHamiltonsme :

Sounds good, doesn’t work

user5340841931767 :

how can some be rich under socialism? the core of socialism is no one individual ownes anything! how can someone become rich with no private ownership. socialism = everyone on government welfare. no one is an entrepreneur

jess :

🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

The Rooster Socialist :

this comment isn't off but if you're brand new to the ideas it's fine for a start. I encourage you to read up more about it and it will become clearer that the distinction between socialism and communism is really just manufactured propaganda meant to trick you into accepting capitalism.

d.d. heathen🌈romance author✒️ :

none of what that commentator said is correct. literally nothing.

… :

It doesn’t work coming from someone who immigrated to escape a socialist authoritarian government, it’s great on paper but it’s hard to execute in real life

Brett Haines :

not how math or economics work, at all, but utopian ideas and free shit sure sound nice

2pacalypse.later :

This is wrong though. Socialism is when workers own the means of production. Capitalism is when the means of production are privately owned. Communism is an abstract idea, an end goal thats trying to be reached where all workers are free from wage slavery. You can only achieve communism with socialism.

gargledpeanuts :

it's an economic system not a moral system. the Nazis were a socialist regime. command economies suck and when it comes to answering even the most basic questions like how does a workplace function socialist can't answer .

Eternally Yours :

Then explain how stealing small businesses from their owners is a good thing

ComradeChefrey :

Noooo. God dammit it. There is decades of socialist work to study to not fucking do this. That is completely bullshit.

Fat Btich :

That’s because you don’t understand how to value labor

Get fit by Christmas 🎄 :

The problem is that you have to first FORCE those who have to give it up and share it. Because people don’t give their assets up voluntarily except in charities and churches. Forcing those who had to give up their wealth led to Mass Murder and disenfranchisement in the Eastern Europe.

**Capitalism:** An economic system where the means of production — businesses, land, capital — are privately owned, and prices, wages, and resource allocation are determined by markets rather than central planning. Outcomes are unequal by design: competition and private ownership allow some to accumulate wealth and others to have little. **Socialism:** An economic system where the means of production are owned or controlled collectively — by the state, by worker cooperatives, or by the community — rather than by private individuals, with the aim of distributing wealth and resources more evenly than markets alone would. In practice this can range from heavily regulated market economies with strong public ownership of key industries to fully state-controlled economies. **Communism:** A theoretical end-stage society, beyond socialism, in which there is no private property, no state, and no social classes — production and distribution are organized collectively with the principle "from each according to ability, to each according to need." It's a stateless, classless vision rather than a system that has been fully implemented; states that call themselves communist (USSR, China, Cuba) have in practice been single-party socialist states governed through central planning, not communism in the full theoretical sense.

@Maddy Long-Legs if you want to be more informed, go watch Richard wolff on YouTube. he is a professor and can help with understanding socialism and communism and capitalism.

jayeff :

This entire comment section is brainrot. Someone said American women have done nothing but cause mass confusion online while they sit in the privledged position of not having to “know what socialism” is until their 30yrs old. Then post to Tik Tok for attention. I hate it here.
