I want to like socialism because I hate capitalism. But in reality, I don’t know how you’d stop someone from trading and bartering without force, and no one seems to have any way to actually implement it properly without forcing people to work. Co-ops are a good start, but inefficient (as we already see.)
I agree with Marx’s observations, but he was a philosopher and not an economist.
So my question is, is there something other than feudalism or communism that is viable and has at least a vision of what it looks like other than dreaming and figuring it out along the way?
