I want to nationalize seashores. It’s unfair rich people privatized entire coastline.

Make them rentable. I want a private piece of seashore for vacation. But nobody should be able to own it for life.

Same with natural resources. WTF are they owned by corpos? Anything mined and drilled should be owned by all citizens

as sad as it is, that failed miserably in the soviet union. The soviets initially had way better computer but because all industry was publicly owned noone competed and noone bought computers which is why they fell behind the US.

There is a sensible middle ground that allows for the pressure-driven innovation of capitalism without its extreme and unfair exploitation. We just have to find it.

I disagree. Soviets were busy recovering from WW2 for decades while funding own allies. They were not in the position to splurge on non necessities.

But even with that - they supplied entire population with oil, gas, electric no problems. Utilities barely cost anything even in modern russia

In the USSR, private plots owned by collective farm families, averaging 0.25 hectares in area, provided 30% of meat, vegetables and milk, 33% of eggs, and 59% of potatoes in 1979.

No problems? I think some of the citizens that lived through the Soviet era would disagree with you there
