@olev explain how communists do understand economics

2017-11-26 06:19:43 UTC  

@Brickiest Brick The original claim was that communists do not understand economics

2017-11-26 06:19:55 UTC  

Which is a positive claim so the burden of proof is on it

2017-11-26 06:19:57 UTC  

Not me

2017-11-26 06:20:30 UTC  

every communist nation that has ever been formed has collapsed on itself if not from war

2017-11-26 06:20:42 UTC  

venezuela is currently in this process

2017-11-26 06:23:56 UTC  
2017-11-26 06:24:09 UTC  

Lmao venezuela is 70% private

2017-11-26 06:25:01 UTC  

Hold on a second

2017-11-26 06:25:14 UTC  

I'll explain this but I'm preoccupied

2017-11-26 06:26:40 UTC  

venezuela has been a transitional socialist state for a long time

2017-11-26 06:26:56 UTC  

the regulations it imposes on its citizens is immense

2017-11-26 06:27:14 UTC  

plus nationalization of important resources has led to massive food shortages and inflation

2017-11-26 06:28:39 UTC  

it's the regulations on the "private" businesses that's really killing them

2017-11-26 06:28:57 UTC  

the goal is to "nationalize" through regulations

2017-11-26 06:29:04 UTC  

it has essentially the same effects

2017-11-26 06:29:27 UTC  

Government regulations aren't socialism

2017-11-26 06:30:04 UTC  

they are essentially the same concept

2017-11-26 06:30:13 UTC  

government tells the private sector what to do

2017-11-26 06:30:34 UTC  

Okay so you literally don't know what socialism is

2017-11-26 06:30:44 UTC  

i do know what socialism is

2017-11-26 06:30:51 UTC  

i also know that real socialism has never been tried

2017-11-26 06:31:01 UTC  

and i also know that real socialism is impossible to achieve

2017-11-26 06:31:11 UTC  

without the use of the force of the state

2017-11-26 06:31:19 UTC  

which inevitably causes its collapse

2017-11-26 06:31:41 UTC  

How does the state cause it to collapse

2017-11-26 06:32:59 UTC  

because in order to bring the power to the workers the state must abolish any and all dissent and nationalize the industries

2017-11-26 06:33:04 UTC  

otherwise, you get anarchism

2017-11-26 06:33:12 UTC  

this doesnt sound that bad on paper

2017-11-26 06:33:34 UTC  

but in practice, whatever the state can do the private sector can do better

2017-11-26 06:33:41 UTC  

They don't need to suppress dissent unless it's physical action

2017-11-26 06:33:57 UTC  

What do you mean otherwise you get anarchism

2017-11-26 06:34:05 UTC  

Your analysis is fucking flimsy and stupid

2017-11-26 06:34:17 UTC  

well by dissent i also mean people creating industries and capitalistic practices and whatnot

2017-11-26 06:34:19 UTC  

You're just regurgitating stupid shit you've heard elsewhere
