im talking about marxist ideology's idea of workers being entitled to their labor

2018-09-03 18:57:48 UTC  

Yeah, a lumberjack owns their labor. They cut down a tree and self it for themselves.

2018-09-03 18:58:01 UTC  

They aren't entitled to a factory's labor. The factoryworker in the factory is entitled to that labor.

2018-09-03 18:58:14 UTC  

No he owns the woodworking plant too as created the resources for them to use

2018-09-03 18:58:24 UTC  

It's his labor first and foremost

2018-09-03 18:58:38 UTC  

No, when he sells it to the factory for refinement as a raw resource it's no longer his.

2018-09-03 18:58:54 UTC  

There was an exchange where he gave up the entirety of his labor without a capitalist as a medium.

2018-09-03 18:59:13 UTC  

Although Bordiga will tell you that's not real socialism because there's capital involved.

2018-09-03 18:59:35 UTC  

Marxism breaks down as even remotely logical past the state socialism stage.

2018-09-03 18:59:46 UTC  

>no state

2018-09-03 18:59:49 UTC  

thats a joke

2018-09-03 19:00:02 UTC  

It's what Marx wanted.

2018-09-03 19:00:10 UTC  

Correct

2018-09-03 19:00:31 UTC  

he wanted society to organize on confederate lines as communes, which is the root of communism.

2018-09-03 19:01:06 UTC  

Which is clearly an issue while imperalism and other states exist

2018-09-03 19:01:22 UTC  

Which is why socialism in one country is anti-Marxist.

2018-09-03 19:01:34 UTC  

Bukharin and Trotsky were true communists.

2018-09-03 19:02:04 UTC  

True, which is why it's great they failed

2018-09-03 19:02:06 UTC  

The Comintern was just an exercise of Soviet influence.

2018-09-03 19:03:30 UTC  

There's quite a serious reason why Ukraine and Catalonia failed compared to the USSR

2018-09-03 19:14:21 UTC  

it does matter when studying socialism tho to understand what you're talking about

2018-09-03 19:14:30 UTC  

you can't just say "it sucks"

2018-09-03 19:15:11 UTC  

Socialism is fine when it's not rooted in egalitarianism, marxism or complete redistribution of wealth

2018-09-03 19:15:49 UTC  

"both suck" isn't very informative

2018-09-03 19:16:18 UTC  

egalitarianism is the only part of socialism with any merit

2018-09-03 19:16:25 UTC  

>egalitarianism

2018-09-03 19:16:39 UTC  

Egalitarianism is slave morality.

2018-09-03 19:16:55 UTC  

Yes lets ignore all of biology and merit because retards deserve the same vote as 200 IQ mega geniuses

2018-09-03 19:17:41 UTC  

If you can't accept some people are better than others in every way then you deny reality

2018-09-03 19:18:59 UTC  

you can't be better than someone ontologically

2018-09-03 19:19:09 UTC  

and what's wrong with a little slave morality

2018-09-03 19:19:40 UTC  

Because it is resentiment of what makes humans strong and progress, rather than morality based on reality.

2018-09-03 19:20:08 UTC  

When you are by all means more qualified to speak on an issue you deserve the authority to overtake the opinion of someone with zero merit in the subject

2018-09-03 19:20:29 UTC  

sure

2018-09-03 19:20:40 UTC  

That is anti-egalitarian

2018-09-03 19:20:55 UTC  

They have been treated differently

2018-09-03 19:21:43 UTC  

They now have a right or opportunity above the pleb with no knowledge or authority

2018-09-03 19:21:50 UTC  

thats a good thing

2018-09-03 19:22:07 UTC  

well what do you mean by overtake?

2018-09-03 19:22:32 UTC  

I think reducing egalitarianism to everybody has equal merit is disingenuous.

2018-09-03 19:23:01 UTC  

yeah not everyone is equally as good at everything
