its cool that we are basically in the 19th century redux again with the same 19th century problems of globalized capital and ineffective liberal nation states

and the libs are baffled that 19th century problems will result in 19th century solutions

Nonsense, particularly in its current modern form. Its egalitarian principles are a utterly unbeatable example of the value of egalitarian approaches to resource distribution but aside from that it is simply a state owned monopolistic service; it could be replicated under any system which has a state entity not just socialism.

Socialism is merely state-capitalist monopoly which is made to serve the interests of the whole people.

Nah, notions like profit can be abolished entirely, we just need to adopt a different accounting framework which doesn't allow surpluses to be extracted from exploited masses.

I'm pretty sure monopoly isn't part of the definition of socialism.

Depends on your notions of socialism really but there's categorically certain areas where productive units competing against each other serves no good purpose and I supposed you'd call the alternative a monopoly.

Well wouldn't that be a technical monopoly, not a legal (government-mandated) one?

Dental hygiene represents a deviation from Marxist-Leninist-Maoist thought and must be treated as counterrevolutionary. Chairman Mao recognized that brushing one's teeth was an act of bourgeois affectation.
