Grew up on a farm. Farming's been socialized for a century.

Our whole system is a social one.
No one grows their own food or makes their own stuff but when it comes time to give back to the system we wanna talk about how "independent" we are.

Right but instead of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" we have markets that are much more humane and fair and sustainable.

It's great if you have good insurance, and mostly bad if you don't. But even then in most cases there are state programs or hospital programs for steep discounts for self-pay patients and payment plans and the like. Not saying it can't be improved or that the government can't pay for it, but it's not so black and white as you see on Reddit.

Socialism is a political ideology, it has nothing to do with being social or having a society. Socialism is when everyone works hard and then has to give all their stuff to a few people who are lazy and control everything. And if you dont they kill you or lock you up (if youre lucky).

Is farming a more state-controlled industry right now in the form of subsidies and the like, or more a market?

Politics exists because of having a society.
Have any examples of societies without politics?
RE: Socialism, if you're disabled or became disabled by fighting overseas for this country then you're treated like shit in our current system.
I make enough with my career and pay a big chunk into taxes but then I see someone I know who has seizures on the daily and has to fight for benefits and healthcare for a piddly monthly paycheck that no one could live off of.
Then I see one of my relatives who sustained brain injury and lost a leg fighting for this country's military who basically goes through the same thing and doesn't have dental.
Our system sucks when it comes to social safety nets.
Anytime I mention that it should be better, I'm countered with strawmen like your post.

On an individual level. This pithy saying does not explain the behavior of organizations however.

Why don't you move to Venezuela or Zimbabwe? Everything for free, no need to work, you can lie in the sun and work on your tan. Also lose some much needed weight.

You aren't even really reading my posts; you're just staring at your e-mail client and fondly reminiscing about that hobo you stabbed to death. :P
