I can't believe you people here claim to be Communists

People can’t own a company or a factory? Even if it’s four or more people?

Yet you cuck to fascism

@su They can't own it but they can manage it.

@su You need state ownership for a planned economy

In a socialist state, people cannot own a factory or company but can manage it yes

Debatable @olev

Ownership leads to capitalism and the abuse of workers

Thus it is lead by a cooperative effort

In a socialist country there can’t be stores like Zara and all these brands?

Because they’re owned by foreigners?

Owned by the state

Products like those can still exist but those brands should not

@su Depends on the level of the socialist economy and trade policy. Trade with companies might be permitted or not.

You think we should fight against fascism but you think what I did was wrong

You literal cucks

I think we should assume it's a total socialist economy for simplicity's sake

I’m asking because Libya was a socialist country but they had Zara and stores like that

I've never seen one. Even NK is not total. And USSR was very much open.

It confused me

Libya was not a socialist country.

It was

Qaddafi was a socialist

@Kurt Sturm Lybia was partly a socialist country.

Literally on its name

The name means nothing

Great socialists peoples Libyan Arab jamaihirya

I wouldn't call that socialist then, also names don't necessarily insinuate what something stands for. Example is the National Socialist German Workers Party or Nazis, they were not socialists.

If there was private industry present, that's hardly socialist.

Just "friendly capitalism"

@Kurt Sturm On the Libian industrial level and African location it hardly could be any socialist but it did advance in that direction greatly.

I agree and even if they were moving in that direction it still wasn't socialism or probably would ever be.

I think they cooperated with these brands

Its allowed says wiki

Friendly capitalism

@Kurt Sturm Socialism is moving in the communist direction and Qaddafi did centralize economy and industrialized it.

What a hell is socialism if not that?

>socialism is when the government does stuff, and the more stuff it does the more socialist it is t. firefly :^) :^)

Cooperating is ok in socialism

You can have any foreign brand or company as long as it is cooperating with others from your country?
