    Isn’t there a leap from “workers should own their workplace” to “the people should own the workforce”? Like the difference from Steam’s business model, and full blown USSR communism?

      People always love to equate socialism and communism as if one is the natural consequence of the other. They’re on opposite ends of the 2D political spectrum. Communism is right-wing social policy, left-wing economic policy.

      Basically if the Republicans actually learnt how to run an economy.

      Although it would be better than the current crop of idiots it wouldn’t be the most desirable outcome.
