Socialism is a scam. It is not about liberation, equality …

there's both statist and anti-statist socialists ... you just hadn't heard of the latter until today, i guess, but,,,, that's what thinking is is when you change your thoughts in response to information, eh? <3

How do you redistribute the loot without a state?

You don't "possess" something like the right to mine an ore deposit or the right to fish a fishery by just grabbing it and putting it in your pocket. In a general strike, the WORKERS who do the WORK of securing such things will simply STOP DOING THAT WORK!

A ruler is someone who claims the right to initiate violence and take other peoples property.

I don't care if this ruler is the state, uncle Joseph, the party, or the workers.

Whoever initiates violence is a criminal, even if they think they are rulers.

As I said, the workers don't do anything to anyone, they just stop working against their own interests. "If the workers are organized ... all they have to do is to put their hands in their pockets and they have got the capitalist class whipped." --Big Bill

So the whole seizing the means of production thingy is no longer a part of socialism?

Good to know.

Think carefully about how the capitalist class currently controls the means of production. They don't do it themselves with their bare hands.

Think carefully about the right to own private property.

Hint: without it you are a slave.

You're conflating private property and personal property. No one's trying to take your toothbrush.

you are all slaves the currency in your pocket is someones else Debt.
likely from the same creditor as your own

for century's your race has required governing more and more so

it is your own greed, want of power and weakness that binds you

Free people have the right to own private property and trade it freely.

Slaves are allowed to have a certain amount of personal belongings.

Who exactly detemines what people are allowed to own if not a totalitarian state?

Think!
