No, your question wasn't stupid at all. Those who most loudly and indignantly decree that this or that must never be permitted in socialism are usually also those who've never bothered to make the slightest effort to understand how a real economy actually functions, capitalist or socialist. Best ignore them and get on with your own effort at understanding.
