In applying liberal logic, make it mandatory that all states with closing coal mines force their McDonalds to have a $15 minimum wage?
Thatâs assuming those coal towns even have a McDonaldâs in the first place.
âŚokâŚthen it applies to Starbucks too. 
Voters voted it in. Representatives actually representing their constituents. Iâm not seeing the problem here.
Its socialismâŚenjoy itâŚ
No it isnât. No matter how many times you keep insisting it is.
Iâve only insisted onceâŚ
And youâre still wrong. The public doesnât own the oil companies. They own the land the oil companies drill on though. Maybe thatâs where youâre confused.
Yep. Which is why itâs akin to socialism since the state owns the means of production.
They own the drilling equipment? Try again.
Crude oil is a resource, as is coal. Neither are the means of production. 
Its socialismâŚits a welfareâŚor akin to universal incomeâŚ
Land is a means of production. How much production they going to do without state land?
Land is one of four parts of means of production. The state doesnât own all four, just the land. Hence your argument doesnât hold up. Youâre welcome.
So itâs at a minimum 25% socialist to redistribute basic income to residents of a state for existing in that state.
One of four? Itâs completely essential. How much production is possible without the land?
Doesnât matter. In order to be socialism, the state would have to own the means of production which would be the land, equipment, labor, AND capital. They donât. Therefore, not socialism. Sorry.
What an odd purity test
Look it up. Itâs clearly defined. That you donât understand the meaning isnât my problem.
Cool. Socialism lite.
Sure. If you say so, it must be true.
