marxists see socialism (dictatorship of the proletariat) as a transition to communism (stateless, moneyless, classless society), aye

Right, so what makes that different from a fascist end state that controls the economy centrally?

where would you expand? Mexico or Canada? Eastern Russia? some more impoverished islands? @Bookworm

It's done for the glory of the nation, or for the volk

Africa. Almost no international oversight, rich natural resources, resistance would be almost nonexistent.

@Beemann socialism in the marxist sense has no private ownership of the means of production
in other words, no private business, no private property, only personal and state property

that's completely opposed to the nazi's pursuit of privatisation

USSR had private property and wages

The point is to transition

that's why they called themselves state capitalist

The USSR called themselves socialist

why you stick to terms they used to describe them selfs?
instead of focusing in reality what it was and how things worked?

they wanted to transition to socialism through a short state capitalist period
they called themselves communist, *ideologically*, but that doesn't reflect what their state looked like

State capitalism is the people's republic of markets

woke

except without markets

And without republics

nice talking 👋

Here’s the Vox article Tim covered today. Archived and ready to share .
“ A men’s right activist sued a women’s beer event “ by Rebecca Jennings on Vox

This article criticizes an activist for suing business owners that discriminate based on gender. They lionized a woman raising money to fight against victims of discrimination based on California’s laws. It also claims that civil rights were just about cutting down white, cis, heterosexual, men.

I hope that all the talk of gender equality can actually be used to promote men's rights.

We have paid lip service to it long enough.
