Socialism is not when the city owns stuff either…

No, but it includes the fire department which is when the city owns fire trucks and pays firefighters to fight fires.

And the largest one in that list is…? And the longest lasting is…? Just because you can balance a knife on its tip doesn’t mean that that’s a stable configuration, and if anarchism is not stable, why bother talking about it?

I understand Wikipedia articles, that’s why I sent you one, which apparently you still don’t understand. Have you ever even taken an economics class? Are you so absolutely sure you’re right that you refuse to actually learn anything in case it might show you’re wrong?

State ownership is not the same thing as collective ownership

No, and yet both can be examples of socialism. As in, when the city owns a fire department which is paid for by city taxes and available to help anybody in the city any time there’s a fire.

And yet, here you are, still unable to understand a single Wikipedia article.

Take it up with the profession of economics. They think it makes sense. I think it makes sense. You’re the only one confused by it.

Socialism is not “when the government does stuff.”

Of course not, only an idiot who is trying to undermine someone’s argument would claim that. Socialism is when the means of production are collectively owned, such as when a fire truck is owned by a city.

The link you sent me proves absolutely nothing other than the fact that mixed economies exist.

Good, you read some of it. If you read more you’ll find out that every economy in the modern world is a mixed economy.

Of course there’s such a thing as a mixed economy. They made a whole Wikipedia article about it.

Resisting racism was allowed too. What wasn’t allowed was say sitting in the wrong place on the bus.

Yes, exactly that.

Protesting racism wasn’t criminalized. The issue was that the legal means to protest racism weren’t very effective. So, people intentionally broke certain laws to draw attention to the struggle. The overreaction by the police to those laws being broken drew attention and gained sympathy for the protesters.

It’s known as “criti-hype”.

Google:

• Criti-hype critics: We have to rein Google in, they spy on absolutely everything you do, and as a result their advertising is like a mind control ray!
• Google: Hey advertiser, did you hear, even our critics say our advertising is like a mind control ray, that’s why you have to pay us so much.
• The reality: Google doesn’t even know enough to avoid showing people ads in languages they don’t understand despite all their settings and all their usage being in a different language.

Palantir

• Criti-hype critics: Palantir tech must be stopped is so powerful that a human isn’t even needed in the decision loop!
• Palantir: Hey government, did you hear, even our critics say that we don’t need a human in the decision loop!
• The reality: Palantir suggests bombing a school.

I can’t imagine how awful the electronics / digital stuff on modern cars will be in 20ish years. It’s a lot more finicky to begin with and electronics even under the best conditions age poorly; on a vehicle exposed to the elements it’s going to be a nightmare.

Electric windows go really poorly with that other pair of modern features, turney-offey-when-you-stoppey-engine (that’s the technical name) and button-make-engine-go-not-turney-key.

I was in a car recently where I forgot to close the sunroof, and there didn’t seem to be a way to close the sunroof without re-starting the engine.

It would be interesting to see a timeline of when certain features became standard. For example, pushing a button to start a car instead of turning a key. That still seems new to me, even though I’ve driven some cars with that feature that were old enough to be falling apart.

Yeah, I had a Honda Civic and I think it was similar. Front wheel drive in a lightweight car with the weight over the front wheels makes it easy to drive in slippery conditions. But, it probably also helped that it had manual transmission.

you’ll be able to run over small trees children without noticing.

What government mandated surveillance equipment are you referring to?

You should read the link I sent you first.
