But its been shown time and time again that it won't work because there is no incentive to work hard
I think you are mistaking Socialism for Communism. Read up on your Marx. There is a difference. In Socialism, how hard you work is essential to your wellbeing. Things are distributed based upon how hard you work and how beneficial you are to society. The next step--which is the one you are thinking of--is Communism, THAT is what leads to people having no incentive to work hard because in Communism things are distributed based upon how much you need them--not by how much you work.That really just looks like capitalism, but thats just me
The difference is that in capitalism businesses are owned by PRIVATE leaders, whereas in Socialism, the businesses you work for are owned collectively by the people. This is achieved in several ways though. The reason for this difference is because in Marxist thought, it is believed that private business owners will exploit the workers and treat them badly, whereas if the businesses are owned by the people, then working conditions will be fairer and there will be less corruption. Think of Socialism as controlled capitalism.Ok, but this wouldn't work for the most part because people, in the US for the most part, want less government intervention. Maybe thats just because they're ignorant or scared.
