    How do the workers own the means of production if the state controls everything? Especially a state that only allows certain kind of person into the controlling party. An upper class, you might say.

    Even if they own it, and the state demands a 90% tax on production, what do they really own?

      You see, the state simply claims to be the workers - or rather their chosen representative.

      Therefore, since the state owns everything, the workers must own everything. The GDR was so far left, they even ensured workers wouldn’t accidentally self-harm their means of production through strikes, how kind of them.
