nationalism is bad, patriotism is good, agreed?
@Simpnautica please define that term
Stalin, Lenin, Mao, they all had interpretations of socialism.
I just see it as an informal way of governing Not exactly a good form of government though
i mean the google definition. no private property
Yeah...
that's not good
ok fair enough. social democracy seems to be a ok system
Yeah, it actually works
It never is, because it devolves into factional warring
i think we should have more public stuff, but also keep the private stuff
nah she/he is saying yeah to disagreeing with it
or are you not?
There's a saying that socialism redistributes what capitalism makes
I can see that.
Oh hello chaz, haven't seen you in a while
Which means that most socialist states were actually state capitalist.
Like China is today.
you agree with pure socialism though?
Yeah, because socialism eventually runs out of other peoples money
That’s literally the point. A cashless society.
without cash then how do you evaluate the cost of something
@¿ılı˥? hey, also, love your name
But where does a cashless society leave us?
Thx
That’s the idea, we don’t know. We’ll only have to find out if we did actually try it out.
Running out of money to steal is different than eliminating physical money
Usually the value of our money is determined by gold Correct me if I'm wrong 😂
The gold standard sadly no longer exists
😔
but answer tho... how do you determine the cost of something without cash?
who decides what is valuable
Hmmmm.... hmmm... you actually seem to be right. I don’t know.
you could trade but money is standardized which is why it's useful
The closest thing I can think of that would replace money is back to the classic bartering system
you are given, at least this is how it worked when it worked, everything you need, and a kinda allowence of purchasing power equall to everyone elses
That’s what I was thinking, too.
But money is technically part of that bartering system
But it’s not cash, it’s salt!
money has so many uses. it's not just a medium of exchange
Or apples! Or bottle caps! Or whatever else you think has value.
