If socialism is public ownership of the means of production and capitalism is private ownership of the means of production, then what is “social democracy”, a “mixed economy”? The factory is either owned by the state, or it is not. Where is the middle ground?
What about cooperatives? Why does everyone assume companies have to be either owned by the state or by capitalists who don’t work there?
@interfluidity @dushman Isn't that what socialism historically was? "Worker's ownership of the means of production"
@interfluidity @dushman I think it's from a video game (S.T.A.L.K.E.R)

@interfluidity @dushman I have used “market socialism“ but that word can also refer to an economy with state-owned enterprises.
