    3 socialist walk into a bar and ask “how much is the actual cost of the drinks? How much are you getting paid? Where is the money going? What’s a fair way to distribute this money?”

      Very much more socialist, thank you. Socialists wouldn’t let the bartender cover their tab, they would ask how the bartender might get more of the tab than the scraps he gets thrown by the owner.

        So much work has been done to propagandize Americans into thinking that socials is when people who do nothing take things from people who work. It’s to the point that when you describe it as a fair distribution of goods, people just think that’s capitalism.

          Fair distribution is when the guys who inherited all their money, never had an original idea, continually tank all their companies and default on loans, and only know how to compete via monopolies and total market capture get all the proceeds and decide how every decision is made. Obviously. How else would they have all that money if they didn’t deserve it?
