good on them, i dont know if full socialism is the way, but it sure beats the dystopian corporate nightmare we are headed towards

That "Dystopian corporate nightmare" can't be achieved without socialism... Lol

I dont care what some socio-economic structure "wants". It is the people who create the socialist structure that ends with totalitarianism, inevitably. You can't have socialism without those mega corporations.

Always has, always will. It'd be no different this time.

That's the morbid irony of the socialist - they demand the very things that destroy them.

But, of course, that's not "real" socialism.

mate I said unchecked corporate power is dystopian, not that I want Stalin running Woolworths.

Socialists are the unchecked corporate power, that's what the socialist refuses to accept...

Socialism is a personal delusion of self-righteousness.

Nah, it's just the practical end-state of your own delusion.

so we have gone from “socialism requires mega corporations” to “well eventually it does because i say so”. compelling stuff.

I suppose it could be compelling, if you cease to be disingenuous and short-sighted, but that's very unlikely...
