You’re right to fear the State and its big stick. Why then do you advocate #socialism, which is the total state? Under socialism, the government owns all the means of production and is the only employer in the economic system.

To learn still much more about both socialism and capitalism, read my Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics. It’s available at amzn.to/2PM19ut
