You can exchange things and not have commodity production.

2019-07-11 07:19:32 UTC  

Yeah, that wasn't the USSR, the USSR was production and exchange

2019-07-11 07:19:54 UTC  

Yeah, Marx goes on this SAME problem. organizing it doesn't make it not in profit use

2019-07-11 07:20:15 UTC  

Pick up a book and read into soviet economics, tl;dr my argument

2019-07-11 07:20:19 UTC  

They actively had a system where they still used money and production to expand it. Organizing this production doesn't do anything

@η αρετή Ενωχ Are you actually critiquing wikipedia bc people made it? You do know it gets changed back when there are issues. Mods exist, you are essentially arguing that at this moment it has been changed to do something wrong (even though the page certifies it has no incomplete sections).

```Pick up a book and read into soviet economics, tl;dr my argument```
This isn't an argument in itself. And I don't have to read much more to know they still had capital and produced to expand it.

2019-07-11 07:23:28 UTC  

Capitalists can quite literally organize a conglomerate to plan out the productivity and it is *still* the same thing

What the f

2019-07-11 07:24:25 UTC  
2019-07-11 07:24:36 UTC  

can you guarantee me that wikipedia has the truth

2019-07-11 07:24:45 UTC  

Who the hell are the mods?

2019-07-11 07:24:48 UTC  

@η αρετή Ενωχ can you guarantee someone else does?

2019-07-11 07:24:49 UTC  

Who are the people?

2019-07-11 07:24:58 UTC  

i don't know their names 🤔

2019-07-11 07:25:01 UTC  

what

2019-07-11 07:25:17 UTC  

Depends on the source

2019-07-11 07:25:17 UTC  

You can read this too

2019-07-11 07:25:21 UTC  

If you don't take finnish bolsheviks argument then you are too far gone

2019-07-11 07:25:30 UTC  

>if you don't listen to the bowlcut ML

2019-07-11 07:27:14 UTC  

The USSR was state capitalist smh

2019-07-11 07:27:26 UTC  

nerds

2019-07-11 07:27:32 UTC  

thinking that capitalist propaganda is correct

2019-07-11 07:28:31 UTC  

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

2019-07-11 07:29:09 UTC  

At this point you're arguing statism can now be socialism. Which just deviates from the initial point.

2019-07-11 07:29:32 UTC  

oh so everybody who disagrees with you is wrong

2019-07-11 07:29:36 UTC  

bruh

2019-07-11 07:29:58 UTC  

Are you saying if we *represent* workers owning things they actually own it?

2019-07-11 07:30:12 UTC  

Representation is not ownership. Republic are not direct Democracies.

2019-07-11 07:30:15 UTC  

what other class was there then?

2019-07-11 07:30:35 UTC  

"manager", dont make me laugh with that

2019-07-11 07:30:55 UTC  

>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

2019-07-11 07:31:12 UTC  

You could literally destroy wealth classes

2019-07-11 07:31:19 UTC  

Have this and you still don't have workers controlling it

2019-07-11 07:31:21 UTC  

>capitalists exist under the ussr

2019-07-11 07:31:24 UTC  

proof?

2019-07-11 07:31:28 UTC  

I didn't say that

2019-07-11 07:31:29 UTC  

Don't strawman
