Copies our position, Sad!
jesus christ, i'm not even a stalinist or a maoist but this is too much
Until woopsie daisy good old Mao took power and โaccidentallyโ murdered 10โs of millions
His first position was to give money as a gift to foreigners
Then he made it a carbon copy of ours
FUCK ME OUR GROUP WAS GOOD BUT HE HAD TO DICK IT UP GOD DAMMIT
Then he deleted it!
yes, this is due to failings in maoist doctrine but he still managed to bring china into the first world.
Even now they struggle, starvation is common, price of living is too high, birth limits
Why is there an anarchist party ๐
Thats kinda interesting
BECUASE COMMUNISM CAN NEVER REALISTICALLY BE ACHIEVED
Counter productive no?
the fact that anarchism can be a party...
You keep excusing massive failures and genocides with โoh it wasnโt real communismโ and โit was a small price too payโ
But you just face the facts that it simply cannot be achieved, otherwise it would have been achieved by now.
but it has been
Where?
Where has it been achieved?
Vietnam? Nope
Laos? No
Ethiopia? Definately NOT
China? Fell back on capitalism
the cnt-fai in the spanish civil war, for one
in vietnam 99% of the population believes the free market is good according to pew
Why thanks for that info
democratic socialism in allende's chile and dubcek's czechoslovakia
Where has fascism been achieved?
communes in europe during the 1848 revolutions
the paris commune
>Allende's Chile
He was voted in with 36% of the vote
yes, due to divisions in the other major parties
Paris Commune quickly fell apart
In a matter of months actually
it didn't fall apart, it was invaded
When Pinochet had a final vote on whether he should leave or stay, 44% of the population voted for him to stay.
because all the leftists got offed.
The military dictator that overthrew the "democratic socialist" government was more popular than the fucking democratic socialist
Chile is a nation with 18 million people
They would have needed to kill millions of people to have a result
Not above communists
Thatโs a simple price to pay
most death counts are vastly overblown and arose due to various factors beyond their control
and even if they did kill all of those people with their dirty, grubby hands
what about capitalism's death toll?
right, the governments under capitalism killed many people
That has existed for hundreds of years versus decades
I'm sure you're gonna include heart disease on the same level as being sent to a gulag and frozen to death
You call causing a famine or killing your own people because they refused to give you their cows factors they cant control
Havig tanks run over villahes for refusal to believe in the communist party
Or just killing anyone against it
How
Will they
Recover
i never said that i agreed with authoritarian measures. but when capitalism needed tweaking, we didn't throw it out, did we?
limiting the reach of the market is not the same as implementing a system as autistic as communism
The thing is Capitalism can work when changed
It is run by a market and the people
so can socialism, when the government represents the interests of the people
right
since when do fascists care about things being run by the people?
Tfw youโre a commie but donโt want a totalitarian
By itโs nature Capitalism is constantly shifting
when it benefits the national interest it can be very healthy
Thats what fascism is about ^
but it still reflects the same core values of people with the most capital obtaining more and more capital and having a stranglehold on the means of production.
capitalism, i mean.
a small business owner is not strangling the hold on the means of production
I think heโs talking about the larger companies
that i am.
you can have deals worked out between the working class and business owner
Even then, new companies come along and reinvent things to make it better, thus changing a new cycle in the market
but the business owner will still control the means of production and will still control the flow of capital
so?
Because he runs and manages the business
It makes logical sense he controls where it goes based off of perfomance
if a person can still feed his family and be fulfilled at the end of the day, what is wrong with that
really? business owners delegate most of their tasks anyways.
And the needs of the company
and why shouldn't the workers, if that were the case, elect their bosses or something similar?
because the boss put up the money
Because if that was the case it would be musical chairs with businesses
to buy the lot in the first place and build the company
because of the material conditions that they were born in, that they had no control over?
who's to say exactly
anyways, there should be access at the lower levels of capital to build a business
would thomas edison be able to still invent the lightbulb if he wasn't born into a middle-class family, educated, and given jobs to where he had the opportunity to tinker with various electrical components and acquire enough capital to start a business?
and a father who built his business should be allowed to pass it on to his offspring
to put that risk forward?
Would somebody in uganda be able to do the same?
would they be able to do anything if they had no source of running water or roads to travel to town?
we have roads and we have running water
we are not ancaps
the market has an endpoint
you absolutely should be able to have a decent education at a lower income gap
Yes, what i'm saying is that "because somebody put the effort forth to start a business" isn't a good argument because so much of that is due to material conditions one is offered at birth or other circumstanced beyond their control
what I'm saying is that implementing fucking communism to accomplish that is an extreme and idiotic overcorrection
