I do my research.

2017-10-02 00:24:52 UTC  

Because you were raging about it earlier

2017-10-02 00:24:57 UTC  

That's why I became a socialist, literally.

"1. The right to employment

The foundation for solving the social question is the realization of the right to employment, which can only happen through our job creation program. A law on employment will lay down the rights of the worker. Freedom for creative labor will be assured, freedom for capitalist exploitation abolished."

from the nsdap economic program

If you did your research you wouldn't be a communist

2017-10-02 00:25:29 UTC  

if communism worked in any case but a utopian society where it is an arbitrary concept in that regard id be a communist

2017-10-02 00:25:47 UTC  

Nobody says it's going to be utopian

2017-10-02 00:25:53 UTC  

@styles That was a program in many capitalist nations at the time. They name drop capitalists and exploitation in there but it's pretty much a bastardization of the term.

2017-10-02 00:26:13 UTC  

Exploitation refers to the extraction of surplus value.

2017-10-02 00:26:15 UTC  

This argument is really just a bunch of semantics

2017-10-02 00:26:17 UTC  

@olev good because it wouldn't be

2017-10-02 00:26:55 UTC  

Lol

2017-10-02 00:27:00 UTC  

thats not only definition i think

2017-10-02 00:27:01 UTC  

It isn't a bunch of semantics.

2017-10-02 00:27:12 UTC  

It's literally "what is socialism" in a different context.

2017-10-02 00:27:25 UTC  

Socialism has a scientific definition in relation to economics, not some idealist bullshit.

2017-10-02 00:27:46 UTC  

Marxists will define it differently than NS, in the end they're all just words.

2017-10-02 00:28:13 UTC  

'scientfic definition'

2017-10-02 00:28:17 UTC  

what do you mean by this

2017-10-02 00:28:47 UTC  

National Socialists have their own special snowflake definition because they're not actually socialists.

2017-10-02 00:28:55 UTC  

These arguments never really achieve anything, because we have completely different worldivews, not just political differences.

2017-10-02 00:29:01 UTC  

Didn't USSR shut down the unions too

2017-10-02 00:29:09 UTC  

They approve of private property, private ownership, capitalists, surplus value extraction, capital accumulation, etc.

2017-10-02 00:29:12 UTC  

socialistic economics is a measure i would take it

2017-10-02 00:29:13 UTC  

They aren't socialists.

2017-10-02 00:29:25 UTC  
2017-10-02 00:29:31 UTC  

For different reasons though.

2017-10-02 00:29:40 UTC  

High taxes, universal healthcare, welfare, isn't socialism

2017-10-02 00:29:55 UTC  

You heard it right here folks

2017-10-02 00:29:57 UTC  

welfare is socialistic

2017-10-02 00:30:01 UTC  

1950's america was literally socialism.

2017-10-02 00:30:01 UTC  

It isn't

2017-10-02 00:30:03 UTC  

taxes is not on the basis of socialism

2017-10-02 00:30:12 UTC  

Welfalre is not socialist

2017-10-02 00:30:13 UTC  

@styles Socialism is about ownership.

2017-10-02 00:30:18 UTC  

An effective argument, wouldn't focus on the material differences and policies of past states, but rather on the worldviews that these ideas belong to

2017-10-02 00:30:26 UTC  

Welfare is not ownership, it's a way to make being poor less shitty.

2017-10-02 00:30:48 UTC  

Rather forever poor

2017-10-02 00:30:49 UTC  

a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
