New Hope For the HaveNotz
If you over simplify economic systems it’s just properly allocating rewards and incentives for the good of the individual and society.Socialism is a politico-economic philosophy with the goal of public benefit and ownership of the institutions that make up our society and economy.
This would depend on the context of the specific institution we're talking about, but I'm directionally orientation toward private power being subordinated to public power.
Yes, I absolutely believe and trust the public government to do a better job of mass building housing for all of society vs a deregulated private builder industry. I don't consider housing to be a luxury good where the free-market can be allowed free reign, I consider it a human right, which the government will always do a better job of enacting and safeguarding because rights are not conducive to the profit-motive that drives private interests. I feel the same way about the fire department and roads and the school system and healthcare and all other necessities that should be equally available to all people. The private market is simply inferior on these issues compared to the government. Luxury condos, sure let the private builders go nuts. But public/social housing? No.
I think that some industries should be for-profit and building homes is one of those.
Do you think the utilitarianism of a government mixed in psychopaths (eventually they’ll gain power even if it’s after an benevolent socialist takeover) will produce more housing long term than a for-profit builder industry who is motivated through competition of government contracts?
