This has nothing to do with socialism. Since it is a problem under capitalism why don't we call it "capitalist". Or maybe we could just say lazy.

  The irony here about socialism for me is that I find plenty of people that would fall in those ideals (not only in those, but most of the time) that tell you what is good or bad for everyone else but they seldom do what they say. That is why I said "everyone else's job" is an approximation of "socialism" in my view. I cannot see how that would be a vice of capitalism since capitalism is basically non-intervention and freedom.

    >That is why I said "everyone else's job" is an approximation of "socialism" in my view. I don't think socialism is the word you're looking for. If you're trying to say that the described behaviour ("it's everyone else's job") is common in, or a byproduct of, a socialist system then it would make more sense (though it could be argued). But that doesn't make it a correct "approximation" of socialism. Socialism is: >a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. https://www.lexico.com/definition/socialism https://www.lexico.com/definition/socialism

      I know the definition, lol. What I meant is attitudes I found under that thinking quite often. It was just a silly observation. I did not mean anywhere every socialist is like that or that all peopple that do that are socialist. On top of that, that is just a personal opinion. Nothing else.
