People. Destruction of order, instabillity, you cant rule a business.
That or it is intensive collectivisation meaning that if you work it, it is yours. The products are to the one using the machinery, not the owners of the machinery.

Oh, they all want the same thing, but by applying different ways. They want of an equilitarian world, a fair one. In short, not one in which 20% of the population uses 80% of the ressources.

I thought the difference between the two was that socialism didn't advocate the abolition of gov't?

Anyway, regardless, in reality socialism requires huge bureaucracy, and you have no freedom to choose who you do business with, it's always you have to do business with the gov't or you are shot/thrown in jail etc.

You confuse with social democracy mate.
It is a form of socialism, but most of them want its abolition. (except Stalinists...)

Communism is socialism, anarchism is, etc...
