Nothing gets mass distributed without the drivers of lorries, vans, trucks, trains, cars and planes, for example.Socialism, but this thread is hardly the place for indepth political discussion.Themselves. They make the wealth, make society work, and society grinds to a halt without them. What you're talking about is control of the means of production and the commanding heights of the economy.People could see in 2020 during the lockdown who society depends on when things shut down. It wasn't Wall Street or the City of London, or any fancy billionaires, but the likes of shop workers, healthcare workers, farmers and delivery van drivers, none of whom are rich.</blockquote>
