So who do you get to decide what ' s best for everyone and how do you ensure they don ' t use that power for their private interests ? Literally the only way socialism can work is if it ' s controlled by an AI , and even then how do you vet the programmers ? Private interests are not inherently evil , just like people aren ' t . The best solution we have is to let people act on private interests and check their behavior with regulation . Sometimes we have to just regulate the interest . This is exactly what we have now , were just not very good at it . <| sep |> It ' s like guys are thinking we ' re playing the oilers , they ' re soft as baby shit , they ' re not gonna hit us ! And they let their guard down . And get greased .
