State socialism is supposed to be this in between thing where you have to have one party for a bit and then the state “naturally erodes” to nothing and you have full gay space communism.
In other words, the theory relies on people giving up amassed power that they had to “temporarily” wield over other folks.
It’s funny because the natural erosion never occurs and it predictably winds up becoming an authoritarian shit state. Just like what predictably occurs under unchecked capitalism is fascism.
All that said, even dictators have to care about public opinion a bit, because otherwise they might end up with their head in a guillotine in act 3.
Not at all.
Socialism is when workers control the means of production.
Single-payer Healthcare or socialized medicine is a social program.
They are not the same at all.
Are you sure that’s not communism? These terms have really taken a beating.
