Firstly, even in the USSR people were heavily rewarded for hard work, so the whole "now everyone's paycheck is the same" was always a myth. And in a market socialist system, you can have competition between multiple worker-owned enterprises, without even a hint of capitalism. I did say "pure socialism" as in there is no privately owned property and the net profits or resources are split equally among the citizens. I did not state there has been a pure socialist society, I was just stating that such a society would not be a good thing, at least for innovation. I do think things need to change now that we have more technology and many jobs could be automated. A more socialist setup would make sense at this point because menial labor is much less important or needed over all, and you could probably halve the amount of work hours humans need to do. Splitting the "profits" from automated work in such a case would make alot of sense, and then individuals could actually work and earn additional profits themselves (but the profits from automated work itself would be enough for average citizens to live comfortably.) --- Zangulus "I try to avoid having any knowledge at all of his dick."
