    Actually, the thing is we don’t even have to be equals, that never works, we just have to make sure everyone has what they need.

      Exactly this. The small amount of socialism we have in Canada, where I am, allows otherwise destitute people to have a place to live, food on the table, and the ability to see a doctor and recieve medical care.

      Also, the fire department will show up if their house catches fire, and the police will show up if someone robs them…

      All social services.

        Social welfare is not socialism.

        Socialism is when the workers own the means of production so no one else profits off of your labour.
