What do you mean by material conditions? The point of socialism is that there is no third party extracting profit from the workers’ labour, only the workers themselves. The workers decide what gets done, how it gets done, and how any profit

Socialism is about the people owning the means of production, not the mega corporations owning the people. You have a bizarre filter on the world if you think Amazon sharing your Internet with your neighbours without your consent is anythin
