[b]Yes, if Factory A came up with a better way of doing things, they would share it with factory B. Factory A would still have 'won' that 'competition' though.
In fact the workers in factory A would see no point in trying to improve if the result were merely to put the workers in factory B, who just jogged along, on the same fooing as themselves.
You live in a world of fantasy as the early utopians quickly found in Russia when they tried to implement these very same notions. Lenin, and later Stalin, had to use strong-arm tactics to get the 'workers' to work at all.

We need to get rid of the competitve spirit, you should only compete with yourself not others...
So, you think we should get rid of football, chess or any other activity which involves competition? Or maybe all chess games should be draws?

There are many different socialist thinkers and many different views on how socialism will come about and what it will look like. I've yet to come across any which advocate this bizarre idea.

We need to keep the competitive spirit, we just need to direct it towards collective gains rather than individual gains.

So you are now just living on the charity of the English taxpayer?
Well done; a canny response to Blairism for which I do not blame you.
