Comment on Can socialism or communism have incentives (even without markets)?
Steve@communick.news 1 day ago
Of course they have markets. Any society that grows much larger than where everyone can personally know everyone else, will need some form of money. The options are eithor barter directly, or use some form money as a medium of exchange and accounting. Barter can work in groups up to even several hundred at least, maybe even a couple thousand. But beyond that, some form of money will naturally emerge.

What about market socialism (the people own the means of produced through a market economy, regardless of whether it’s planned or NOT)

Don’t know what you’re actual question is. You need to be more specific.

What I mean is do you have anything to say about market socialism?
Steve@communick.news 20 hours ago
Not generally.
I don’t keep speeches prepared on topics. I just say what I think at the moment, when I run across an interesting prompt.
