Are you being serious right now?
It's not as silly as it may seem to some. Some socialists want greater equality of outcomes but to otherwise retain most of our economic system; others want some sort of collective ownership of most things (like in a traditional kibbutz), which would not require the existence of money.Hrafn wrote:Do you love asking silly questions?

What's so silly about it? I've personally encountered Socialists who've told me that any kind of profit is bad and the elimination of currency would be the best thing for society. I've yet to meet any self proclaimed Capitalists which has taken this view or at the very least has called for equal income/wealth distribution regardless of job and/or skill level. It's definitely not a silly question and I'm generally curious as to why people who subscribe to Socialism think the way they do.
