That's not scale though. Socialism works great in small loosely organized tribes, but fails at nation scale every time.

- namlem 2y agoIt doesn't even work that well at the local level. The Kibbutzim in Israel were socialist for like 70 years, but now are almost all mixed market capitalist in some form or another.
- FrustratedMonky 2y agoCapitalist internally or externally? Do Kibbutz have highly paid CEO's that earn much more than the members, and subject them to pay cuts? As pointed out in this thread, a Co-op is socialist internally by sharing wealth across more of the labor. But capitalist externally since it sells to a capitalist world.
