Which portion should people save? The rent portion? The food portion? Transportation? Health care? Taxes? Should they rotate every month? Clearly, the instructions weren't too complex; they were just incomplete.

Which portion is currently put into Social Security? The rent portion? The food portion? Transportation? Health care? Taxes? Should they rotate every month? Clearly, describing Social Security isn't too complex; it is just incomplete.

The real question is what do you do about the people who can't or won't save unless compelled? Or who can't work out how much they need to save? Or who see their savings evaporate in a stock market crash a few months after they retire?

Socalism is great for those of us who don't want to be robbed by people who are starving, or who don't like stepping over half dead beggars on our way to the shops.

That's a good question. What do you do with people who refuse to take care of themselves in a way you deem appropriate. You should start a thread in PD saying "What should we do to compel people to take care of themselves in the way I say is appropriate".

If there are no shops and no food, then you can't rob people of their food or step over them on the way to the food. Socialism does cure inequality, nobody has anything.
 
So, lots of people are starving to death in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland? Nice how so many fools hop from curing our many problems to cries of "Socialism!" and then to "Venezuela!" And then expect us to take them seriously. Progressivism = Socialism = Venezuela. Sure. Now look at the goodness far right Capitalism gave us in Kansas. Louisiana. Alabama, Mississippi and other red states.a Kept afloat only through massive injections of money from Uncle Sugar, courtesy of these bad old blue states. The GOP solution to all our troubles? Eliminate ACA. Hack and slash at Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. This way to a golden Venezuela like state.

Those countries have public control of the means of production? That is the definition of "socialism", you know, and not "strong welfare safety net". The Scandinavian countries are basically market economies.

Now Venezuela DID have public control of the means of production, and you seem to think Venezuela is the end result of market economies.

Let me rephrase that so the ancap doesn't get distracted by semantics:
A strong welfare safety net is great for those of us who don't want to be robbed by people who are starving, or who don't like stepping over half dead beggars on our way to the shops.
