the condition communism arises is when the global socialist movement has destroyed capitalist states

and recreated the society of old

is communism achievable if it is not global?

no

that's not communism

it's akin to asking something like saying

"is it possible for labour theory of value to be valid if i create something without labour."

which i've had someone literally say to me before

it's a pointless question

because it doesn't account for why, how, or from where the communist society arises

if the entire world is not communist, is communism achievable?

your point is reductionist, you're not debating in good faith

2018-06-15 21:45:42 UTC  

i've yet to recieve a straight answer

2018-06-15 21:45:44 UTC  

if the entire world is not capitalist, is capitalism achievable? @Perpetual Moral Imbalance

you're talking about a single country that turned communist, i.e. without state, military and police, attacked by a capitalist nation, and when we say that's impossible, you say 'thanks for proving my point'

because it's reductionist

and i've explained **why** it's a pointless, and reductionist argument

2018-06-15 21:46:14 UTC  

yes, and at no point have i made claims to state capitalism is only possible if globally

please read the context of the discussion before jumping in

2018-06-15 21:46:17 UTC  

What's going on lads?

2018-06-15 21:46:31 UTC  

i got them to admit that communism is unachievable scipio

2018-06-15 21:46:39 UTC  

*if not globally

2018-06-15 21:46:40 UTC  

@Perpetual Moral Imbalance don't ignore my question

2018-06-15 21:46:45 UTC  

erin are you blind

2018-06-15 21:46:51 UTC

2018-06-15 21:46:52 UTC  

just a little

we pointed out that your argument ignores the actual point of 'historical materialism'

2018-06-15 21:46:54 UTC  

are you not seeing the yes

2018-06-15 21:47:06 UTC  

might've missed it, there's a lot going on lmao, sorry

2018-06-15 21:47:18 UTC  

meanwhile, i've not gotten a yes/no from karde

2018-06-15 21:47:18 UTC  

if the entire world is not communist, is communism achievable?

@Perpetual Moral Imbalance your missing the point, the question is irrelevant to the argument

2018-06-15 21:47:35 UTC  

Capitalism relies on manipulating the working class of other, generally non capitalist nations. I would argue a global capitalism would not prevail.

it doesn't **show** communism to be impossible

2018-06-15 21:47:42 UTC  

i'd appreciate a yes or no, and a follow-up to explain your point

2018-06-15 21:47:42 UTC  

if the entire world is not communist, is communism achievable?

that's a huge leap in logic

you made
