    I am a worker under capitalism. The owner tells me how to work. I sell my time for money. I produce value for the owner. The owner keeps the difference between the value I produce and the money for which I sold my time. The excess value after paying for my time is kept by the owner. I have money to buy products.

    I am a worker under socialism. I decide how to work with other workers. I produce value. I provide my value to those in need.

    I prefer to own my time and value. I do not want to pay a state to give money to owners. I do not want to empower a state to use violence if I do not comply.

    I am not sure how communism, socialism and capitalism are being used here. I am an anarchist. I would say states are bad, owners are bad, heirarchy is bad.

      Totally agree.

      What I mean is the state should define rules and enforce them. And for critical industries the state can support / supplement the companies.

      This way big corps cannot have monopoly.

      My main issue with capitalism/ USA system is lobbying and allowing corps to do what ever they want in the fine print.
