So my answer is, yes you can be a socialist and an entrepreneur. The two don’t run counter to each other. But a state run in a socialist way, nobody can be an entrepreneur.
substance of socialist entrepreneurship consists of that, as against the appropriation by private capitalists and other kinds of monopolistic appropriation, the latter relies on the use of social property by individuals and groups, where the condition of use is the undertaking of the highest performance.
Socialism. Socialism is an economic and political system based on public or collective ownership of the means of production that emphasizes economic equality.
Socialism is an economic and political system where the community or state owns the general means of production (i. e. farms, factories, tools, and raw materials.) This is different from capitalism, where the means of production are privately owned.
No, you can’t start your own business under socialism. The very basics of socialism is that business is owned and run for the benefit of society. That means the government runs your business either through overregulation or outright ownership. Government may not see the benefit of your business.
Private property thus is an important part of capitalization within the economy. Socialist economists are critical of private property as socialism aims to substitute private property in the means of production for social ownership or public property.
In theory, based on public benefits, socialism has the greatest goal of common wealth; Since the government controls almost all of society’s functions, it can make better use of resources, labors and lands; Socialism reduces disparity in wealth, not only in different areas, but also in all societal ranks and classes.
Disadvantages of socialism include slow economic growth, less entrepreneurial opportunity and competition, and a potential lack of motivation by individuals due to lesser rewards.
Socialism is an economic system where the means of production, such as money and other forms of capital, are owned to some degree by the public (via the state). Under a socialist system, everyone works for wealth that is in turn distributed to everyone.
The verdict is in, and contrary to what socialists say, capitalism, with all its warts, is the preferred economic system to bring the masses out of poverty and to make them productive citizens in our country and in countries around the world. Remember this: Capitalism rewards merit, socialism rewards mediocrity.
