I had a discussion with my friend regarding socialism and the argument they had against socialism is everyone don't need to work hard and I was like, isn't that good tho?
(just gonna shoehorn this anvil into this elevator here...)
We still need labor to have a functional society, so you need some level of guardrails to ensure enough capable people are working. Socialism doesn't have a great answer for how to do that.
