The collective resources of a country should belong to its people. The public treasury should not just be a slush fund for the rich.

Not necessarily. Greedy people can misuse socialism as well as capitalism; a fairytale version of socialism some people are throwing around isn’t that helpful. It’s not so much socialism versus capitalism as it is institutionalized greed versus institutionalized ethical restraint

A true socialist wants to make sure the playing field of ideas and success is as even as possible to allow for maximum participation in innovation by a majority. Someone who wants the workers to have the majority say over major company decisions. Etc etc
Replying to @marwilliamson @ProudSocialist
Yes necessarily. Common ownership of the forces of production. Of course socialism will have it’s problems, it’ll be a society composed of humans. But it will still be oriented towards the common good.
