Unless your proposal is something that the owners of the means of production want, it’s not going to happen

Assuming you believe in democracy, can't democracy prevent abuses of power? Aren't the means of production limited by demand? Like they have to make something people really want? So what's an example of something bad that they couldn't do in socialism? Maybe we agree that bureaucracies will squander wealth, but then a ubi from the revenue solves that

Thank you for the answer. Bingo: I have absolutely exposed myself to a lot of right media. As they would may want me to ask: aee isn't a government that charges a 100% income tax bigger than one that charges a 50% one? I agree "big" isn't well-defined, but I'm trying to get at the idea of a gov having a bigger influence on its subjects' lives.
