@vicfroh@mastodon.social I feel the word "socialism" has long being used as a bogeyman, especially in the US. The easy association was with all their countries that declared themselves as being "socialist", and that failed usually, falling in some authoritorian regime - which can't be of any social utility.
Socialism is hard to apply with success to large communities, from what I've seen up to now. Maybe there's some connection with social groups theory, and the limited number of individuals involved.

@luc0x61@mastodon.gamedev.place Yes, the bigger the group, the more their socialism will fail It comes down to people: there are simply always those who consider themselves superior to others, those who feel unfairly treated, and those who want to check whether others are doing things the right way. That is how autocracy begins with surveillance. @vicfroh@mastodon.social
