Common Ownership
So far I know of no nation where the means of production were actually owned in common.
I don't see how this would ever be possible. Humans by nature would never be content to be equal to their neighbor and with no desire to ever get ahead. Oligharcies exist and have existed because of this fact about human nature. We are a competitive lot.

Conservatives vs Liberals
...seemingly the US voter doesn't want the sort of economy you want.
When they say they want to make America great again, they are living in the past. They want to make America like it was after the aberration. They want life to be as potentially profitable as it was back before the deficit and wars and global competition burst our dream bubble.
I know I sometimes wish for more fairness but the conservatives wont support me. they claim that I had my chance and blew it and they wont support me or my kind.
Unconscious Reactions Separate Liberals and Conservatives
Notable:
quote:
In The Righteous Mind, Haidt identifies several areas of morality. Liberals, he says, tend to value two of them: caring for people who are vulnerable and fairness, which for liberals tends to mean sharing resources equally. Conservatives care about those things, too, but for them, fairness means proportionalitythat people should get what they deserve based on the amount of effort they have put in.
