Just stick “American” in front of it, and conservatives (in the US of A) will always agree, ig.
No joke, the first time I actually had socialism explained to me was in my college history class. Before that I had only heard of it in the negative contexts that you hear conservatives use it in. When the professor was done explaining it, I raised my hand and when called on, I said “Wait! That’s socialism? What’s wrong with that?!?”. The professor chuckled and then we spent the rest of the class time discussing socialist theory vs socialist implementation throughout history. He was an outstanding professor, who permanently changed my political outlook.

Ironically, this was at a community college in a very conservative area.

~~While I like the metaphor itself, the part with the “economic elite” might be a very antisemitic trope: https://www.ajc.org/translatehate/cosmopolitan-elite~~
I mixed it up with globalist elite, thanks for pointing it out.
No, it’s used in academia too. Our rich elite 1% oligarch capitalists are mostly not Jewish, and the working class shouldn’t be expected to use a deliberately cumbersome new name for them.
Not knowing a lot about this, my question is, who has to pay for the overhead? If we all own a part of the company we work at, does that make me responsible for paying the cost of running the business?
Its the same as any business. The business earns money by selling something and that goes to pay for the activities involved in running the business. The difference is that the workers get to share in the profits and success instead of just a small group at the top.
How pay is distributed is also up to the workers (owners). Nothing says it has to be equal. All this means is that the people doing the actual work get to make the decisions. Not some investor who only cares about profit.
