heavily regulated

because laissez-faire allowed globalisation to pervert the west to what it is today

this

@Asdrubal implying the Afrikaans would have lost

"Not gonna happen. Military can bomb it's own citizens without any citizens knowing, literally hundreds of citizens go missing every year (mainly Chinese and Russian spies) and no one notices or cares
And the military can afford to use tanks domestically"

I agree with this

but Tanks are awfully suited for urban warfare

as well as Guerilla warfare

in the case of a massive breakdown of society aka civil war, where infrastructure has also collapsed

we're probably looking at infantry based warfare and skirmishes

ye

in any case I think a popular revolt will win

even in the modern day

if i lived in Russia or China i would be more doubtful

but in the West i think the care for human rights and humanism in general is too strong

thoughts on nationalism

@Asdrubal

i see u have the communist tag

well the USSR did have all that red nationalism stuff going on

but i understand that was a tool

and the end goal of communism is to abolish capitalism entirely

what do you think about Nazbol?

so that is just socialism + nationalism

correct?

well i agree with the first 2

but i wouldn't call myself nazbol

i prefer market interventionist or mixed economist

state capitalism yes

but i also agree with distributism, in the breakdown of monopolies

well i have been told 2 different things by different people

and only recently i found out it was the economic plan behind pol pot

but i was told by someone else that it was the idea that big business should be broken up always

and small business favoured

do all communists prefer agrarianism

because i think ultimately that is the only end goal

of communism

communism actually breaks economic growth

communism restricts competition and free enterprise

well it is less effective

than capitalism when allowing for growth

yes it is

it is why eastern europe is in tatters

and why the ussr failed

it did what the west had already achieved

reform allowed for sentiment which had been boiling for decades to voice

the soviet economy in the late 80s was failing

so they were kulaks

my family lived in ukraine

and emigrated post war

they lost their land to collectivisation

and had to work on communal farming

one of them was even arrested and sent to a gulag for attending political meetings

i can respect russia in some regards

but its communist past did not help them

as much as the red nationalism makes it look desirable

the difference is they always had a degree of free market competition

the USSR had none at all

therefore it failed to grow as competitively

the right model of the bolsheviks was more favourable

the NEP could have allowed the USSR what it needed

but they went straight for collectivisation

I don't think it is

but i dont agree with economic stagnation either

that is due to immigration policy

i agree

immigration policy brought them here

i'd agree again

among others, yes

like I said im a market interventionist and mixed economist, i'm an economic centrist...

I just dont agree with planned economies

i dont think full blown communism is the answer

the market does need regulation, but the free market shouldn't be destroyed entirely

explain to me distributism according to oyu

as well as what a command economy is

im not going to argue

i want to genuinely understand what a command economy is

because i dont understand it, admittedly

and how does it determine that

also isnt that state capitalism?

but a communist would call it state capitalism
and a capitalist would call it state socialism

ok

wasnt that the USSR, and didn't they fail to give even basic appliances to their people

like fridges, toasters etc.

so a command economy

is both private & public entities

this is socialism

command economy/planned economy

is the model used for socialism

so what is in and of itself socialism

afaik the USSR had no private business

what do you think about dirigisme

also what is the difference between
