Because they don’t own the means of production. Socialism isn’t just redirecting capital, it is about eliminating it and the ruling class. Profit sharing is a bandaid on the grand canyon; workers are still exploited by the capital class. Socialism is a completely and total shift so large and threatening to the ruling class that it can only happen through revolution, it’s way bigger than sharing profits

But you have to agree it’s a lot closer to socialism than the status quo.
You sure went from “it’s socialism 101, you stupid tankie!” to “well it’s a marginal improvement on the status quo…” really quickly.
It’s actually quite a massive departure from the status quo, really.
K. Doesn’t change my point.
It quite literally does, the operative word being “marginal”
It quite literally doesn’t, remove the word marginal and the point remains the same.
Ok
No, it is the status quo. What you’re describing is capitalism. It is not closer to socialism.
Please link me to the careers page of these plentiful jobs that engage in substantive profit sharing for all working class employees.
Profits go to the capital class currently, that’s the whole problem, right?
You’ve never heard the term “stock option”?
Lol I guess you people never have had actual jobs if you believe that is remotely common for the working class.
Hmm, I wonder if there might be a reason they aren’t common for the working class.
So it’s not the status quo like you actually said. Great talk buddy.
Where did I say that?
