From each according to their will and to each according to their ability.

In my opinion, 'from each according to their will and to each according to their ability' would be the least worst socio-economic system.

In, 'from each according to their ______ and to each according to their ______' terms, what do you think would be the least worst socio-economic system?
 
Lenin built his ideas on the ideology of Karl Marx. It was destined to failure because those at the top of the pyramid feathered their nests at the expense of the workers.
 
Karl's phrase was: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." I've no idea what your gibberish means.

Don't forget the way it destroyed individual incentive and thus destroyed productivity.

The PROPER terms are: From each, according to their ability, given safe and decent conditions, to each, according to their needs, tempered by value to the economy.
 
in any economic system you wish to elaborate on... it's the rich that sooner or later contaminates the system...the rich is always
the problem with everything no matter what you talk about...there have been many revolutions to end the corruption that the
rich imparts in any system and time after time the rich come back to start their greed all over again...

There are a very small group of people that enough is never is enough..they want more and more and soon they want everything
at the expense of everyone else..it's been proved many times over and over...the success of any successful system is how you contain
the greed of the rich...we have all but lost that now in the US soon the rich and the big corps. will own everything...

Without a government thumb on the scale, what you describe is capitalism.

Which is not unlike the result of our capitalistic structure.

So would you support or oppose Market Socialism, where corporations get replaced with worker CO-OPs?

Oppose.

I'm against most government control of businesses.

If people want to form a co-op, that'll be their decision. I don't want a government mandating that decision.

In any event, co-ops generally don't work.

I would take a chance on that rather then have Bezo treating me like robot so he can buy another mansion.

How do you expect to discuss Marx when you cannot manage to get the quote even close to being correct?

Yes, I support this economic idea.

Why don't co-ops work? How does the government mandate a co-op?

I'm a member of a co-op organic grocery and it works very well. Everyone can shop there but only the members get the lowest prices which is approx 10% cheaper.

I'm not quoting Marx. From each according to their will and to each according to their ability is my idea. My idea is has a voluntary nature. Marx's idea has a compulsory nature.

Only if it's voluntary

I think you may need a massive strike to force the bosses like Bezo to share the profits with his workers and give them more freedom in the workplace, but yeah I think workplace work Democracy is a good thing overall.

I think the government should handle something like health care but say video games, those could be made by a CO-OP, maybe workers in that sector will no longer be mistreated if that were the case.
