The USSR was state capitalist smh
nerds
thinking that capitalist propaganda is correct
of course he won't go to the other link I gave.
For one, Xexizy and FinBol start out wrong here. The definition of Capitalism is right, sure.
But you'd have to say *well bc it's a state* makes it not commodity production. They are doing it for the *same* reason. The workers of the USSR were not planning this themselves. They didn't even own the shit.
inb4 worker representation = socialism
Nationalizing every single industry would not make America socialist
At this point you're arguing statism can now be socialism. Which just deviates from the initial point.
oh so everybody who disagrees with you is wrong
bruh
Are you saying if we *represent* workers owning things they actually own it?
Representation is not ownership. Republic are not direct Democracies.
what other class was there then?
"manager", dont make me laugh with that
>the state in itself does not function with the same utility
>when it's doing the exact same thing as Capitalists were b4 but with nationalization and worker representation
You could literally destroy wealth classes
Have this and you still don't have workers controlling it
>capitalists exist under the ussr
proof?
I didn't say that
Don't strawman
```>when it's doing the exact *same thing* as Capitalists were b4 but with nationalization and worker representation```
the state itself does not constitute a class
The state planners were, actually. The soviet government did this
dude
I literally just explained
you can destroy a wealth class of owners
>the planners are capitalists
Strawmanning hard asf
>took the place of capitalists
and if the state still MAINTAINS their position, nothing has changed except you've nationalized
No, they directed the economy
Was Fascist Italy Socialist? The Social Republic loved nationalizing
You have not shown how planners can be a class
must be socialism
I'm bored and lonely
I didn't call planners a class
But you literally did
"The state planners were, actually. The soviet government did this"
They did not *directly own* by legal terms, but they collectively did the same thing. Claiming it was representing.
Directing an economy =/= Socialism
Imagine taking context out
