if it doesnt require effort, people will just choose to 'take more for themselves'

2017-10-02 00:44:17 UTC  

plus as the other guy said someone will probably just start killing people out of boredom

2017-10-02 00:44:19 UTC  

The point of production will be use though.

2017-10-02 00:44:33 UTC  

You're not producing for the sake of possibly selling some of the products like in capitalism.

2017-10-02 00:45:20 UTC  

It's hard to talk about because detailing exactly how a socialist society will organize itself is like predicting the future.

2017-10-02 00:45:30 UTC  

but at a point of the second definition i put then it would have to be socialistic economy with no choice

2017-10-02 00:45:42 UTC  

because capitalism wont work in a society where there is no way to make money

2017-10-02 00:46:01 UTC  

its just the fact that it would be inherently more chaotic because people would have no work and no purpose

2017-10-02 00:46:23 UTC  

Marx proposed labor vouchers. Non-transferable, tied to the amount of time you worked (job dependent I believe), and directly tied to you.

2017-10-02 00:46:34 UTC  

but how would you work

2017-10-02 00:46:39 UTC  

if the machines did everything

2017-10-02 00:46:49 UTC  

But weren't those eventually to disappear? @Seedle

2017-10-02 00:47:01 UTC  

Yes, as scarcity became irrelevant

2017-10-02 00:47:12 UTC  

That's what they had in catalonia

2017-10-02 00:47:19 UTC  

And some other factors, I haven't read Gotha Programme yet.

2017-10-02 00:47:23 UTC  

But some places got rid of money altogether

2017-10-02 00:47:40 UTC  

@styles You could be any number of things.

2017-10-02 00:47:50 UTC  

That's the difference between anarcho-collectivism and anarcho-communism

2017-10-02 00:48:01 UTC  

im saying in a society where the concept of working is completely demolished by the fact machines can do everything a human can

2017-10-02 00:48:09 UTC  

the former supports having labor vouchers until there is no need for money

2017-10-02 00:48:20 UTC  

in that scenario capitalism cant exist, there would be chaos, and several other bullshit

2017-10-02 00:48:35 UTC  

in the part where it is like now (machines make things easier) then that still is based on reality

2017-10-02 00:48:51 UTC  

Yeah I agree, capitalism ends when automation progresses into not needing people anymore.

2017-10-02 00:48:58 UTC  

That's when socialism is the answer.

2017-10-02 00:49:07 UTC  

but then a machine would have to handle it

2017-10-02 00:49:08 UTC  

We could have automation

2017-10-02 00:49:17 UTC  

because people would just start killing each other for more shit than someone else

2017-10-02 00:49:18 UTC  

Like, right now

2017-10-02 00:49:34 UTC  

what would be their purpose by definition if they couldnt work so it would cause many problems

2017-10-02 00:49:39 UTC  

Not in a communist society.

2017-10-02 00:50:05 UTC  

Why would people kill eachother for shit when goods are produced without currency on the basis of need?

2017-10-02 00:50:17 UTC  

because if theyre not working

2017-10-02 00:50:21 UTC  

they have everything already

2017-10-02 00:50:34 UTC  

then the only thing that can come to mind is 'well i need some way of having currency so ill just have more shit than the other guy'

2017-10-02 00:50:50 UTC  

this is how currency is shown in america, by having more expensive shit, rather than having money

2017-10-02 00:50:59 UTC  

at least the rich man's way of showing who has more money without giving a number

2017-10-02 00:52:07 UTC  

I get what you mean.

2017-10-02 00:52:17 UTC  

Capitalism produces capitalist morals and attitudes though.

2017-10-02 00:52:54 UTC  

capitalism produces capitalist society which is a basis of success and makes up the rich types of 'the 1%'

2017-10-02 00:53:14 UTC  

consumerism is the destruction caused by the result of over saturation of production

2017-10-02 00:53:24 UTC  

capitalism or socialism the source isnt relevant
