Memes@lemmy.ml•The problem with socialism
221·4 days agoOn the hopes that you’re not just being sarcastic,
Socialism fundamentally works by creating a system that taxes those who have more than others and goes to those who have less than others. Theoretically this can work forever because the tax revenue is being spent on the betterment of the society and as long as the majority of people are giving more than they receive. The problems arise when people start to take more than they give. This can happen from a number of factors like someone who pays $15,000/year into the system but then takes $1,000,000 for cancer treatment or someone who can contribute chooses not to and still receives the benefits.
In relation to the last panel, they are saying that they are giving 85% of their labor value to their boss who doesn’t work. There’s multiple problems with this way of thinking. The first and most obvious one is the 85%, which is just an arbitrarily large number to make it feel scary. Second is the claim that the boss (and one can assume owner) doesn’t do any work. That’s obviously not true because 99.99% (I’m being dramatic) of owners work an equal or greater number of hours per week than the rest of the employees. And there’s also the fact that while needing to know how every aspect of the company operates the owner is the one who takes the biggest risks and has the most at stake so it makes sense that they make more than the new hire who has no work experience. Yes, you’ll have owners who take more than they “need” but you also have to remember that technically all costs of the company can and are taken out of the owners paycheck because the lower profit the company makes the lower the owners paycheck can be.
Hope this helps.

15·4 days agoNo, you’re right. I should have been more specific in my comment. Typically when I hear this comment being made, the complaint is that the books are being banned from the public school system, which to me is completely fair to do because you don’t want children to be able to access books with sexually explicit content without their parents consent. And in terms of the public library, they shouldn’t be banned, but it should be like watching an R rated movie or buying an M rated game, you have to be over 18 or with an adult to be able to check it out from the library.
So basically, removed from the school system and restricted in the public library system. Buying it is up to the parents though so no restrictions there.
