While not quite to the same equal ownership extent I used in my example, both stock options and profit sharing incentives used to be commonplace for US businesses. Back when they were as just as loyal to their employees as they expected their employees to be to them. The "greed is good" era threw all that out the window.Startup capital isn't a requirement. You can be the socialism that you want to see in the world. Be careful that it doesn't turn into a ponzi scheme. While potentially lucrative, it usually ends in unfulfillment (and other issues you often attribute to capitalism).
Every single precinct in every single state has representatives from both parties monitor the count. If there was any evidence of widespread fraud, Republicans would've been able to produce it. Instead they were unable to convince even Trump-appointed judges of their baseless accusations, and that's an awfully low bar to clear. Sometimes you just gotta take the L and move on.So if I come to America and watch people shift paper in a single location, I will be able to ascertain that America has free and fair elections.
As above, there were already Republicans in the building. They don't want to subject themselves to constant verbal harassment and potential physical violence more than anybody else, though, especially while trying to focus on their job. Not even sure why that counting center was in plain view of the public to begin with, that's always going to result in poor working conditions even without rabid Trump supporters foaming at the mouth.If you have to cover windows to hide what you are doing in an open process, it means you are breaking the law.
That IS socialism because the workers own the business. Communism is state-owned business, wherein the profits are meant to be redistributed across the entire populace. The problem with that being there's no real enforcement mechanism once everything is gathered up by a small group of people, so their greed usually turns them into oligarchs. Socialism is a means to decentralize and democratize the workplace instead, it's an economic system that isn't inherently connected to governance.That is not socialism because the government does not own the business.
