We live in the age of AI. Government workers that do menial tasks can be replaced. The governments primary job in a socialist society is to ensure everyone has basic needs met. Various levels of nationalization can exist run by workers. With technology, government programs can run leaner and more efficient than ever, and ensuring that the maximum amount of dollars reach beneficiaries with little to no waste, and much lower overhead cost.
Without competition, the government might not attempt to use AI. Private companies try AI when they think it will give a competitive edge. Workers might own a company but can’t run it. Stockholders own part of a company but don’t run it.
There is no need for competition in a socialist society. You’re trying to view this through a capitalist lens. Socialism isn’t capitalism. People still need and demand goods in a socialist system, and production is driven by this demand. The difference is there is no bourgeois or elite class profiting from the surplus value of goods or services workers produce.
Without competition how will wages and prices be determined? Demand is sometimes created. What would be the motivation for inventing something if there is no profit?
The incentive is created through public funding approved by the body of the electorate. People can still make money in a socialist system and it can be used to creative incentives. Instead of that funding given to those who are simply looking to maximize their profits to maintain social and material position, it’s given to those who hold collective concerns in mind. Like prioritizing funding of alternatives to fossils fuels and animal agriculture, versus capitalists who only want to profit at the expense of overall suffering and deterioration of the planet.
When you only reward people’s greed and shallow materialistic desires, it’s a detriment to humanity overall. People prioritize their selfishs interest over the good of the collective. Capitalism is the modus operandi of spoiled adult children who hate doing the right thing and tantrum when they’re denied instant gratification from their favorite toys.
Yes, but if there is little profit in in creating technology for green energy, why would a person spend long hours researching? Profit is the motivation for creating a better mouse trap.
