He was pretty close to being a communist

Went from banker to political activist to NSDAP member

He was one of the leaders of the German Democratic Party or whatever that shit was called hold on

Fascism must be authoritarian. A weak government is easily crushed. And then if you have a decentralised society, it is crushed militarily. It is a violent world, authoritarianism is the only way out of this quagmire.

I would have to agree with that point.

Authoritarianism is one of the many revolutionary tools necessary for a healthy society

Once it becomes tyrannical the tyrant is cast out and the masses or the oligarchs take control

Which then pervert themselves and allow for the next

And the next

An authoritarian state is the strongest tool to mobilize a nation to combat threats outside and within as well as solve larger problems.

@Deleted User Working class people's labor creates wealth. The bourgeoisie give workers only a portion of what their labor has created, and takes the rest for themselves despite not doing anything but owning the land. Owning a bunch of empty land isnt hurt
ing anyone, but hiring people for 'productive property' does.

Communism, if it is truly the next destination on the cycle, will itself pervert much like any other progression has

What will take over then?

Assuming that after the fall of authority you don't return to capitalism, or change to communism.

bud, you don't think we'll protect ourselves in our individualistic fashion?

we wont need your forms of government to protect ourselves

we'll arrange that.

The individual contributing to the whole is much more valuable than the individual pretending to be the whole.

What if I gave them a bigger portion of what their labor has created and have them all work for me? Why can't they just form their own communes and Co-ops to compete?

don't about 4/5 business fail

@Deleted User Good question. Communism is predicted as inevitable as it is a resolution to the struggle over the means of production. It is the end of an era. After that is pure productivity, crossing a kind of event horizon.

If at first you don't succeed try again @dindins

you're kidding me

no

Its that simple

do you know how much fucking debt that causes

Every revolution has been a crossing or an end to an era

Feudalism to industry

Because under capitalism, one requires capital to buy land. Workers have tried to get together and tried to form their own factories, but exploitation is more profitable.

If you make money you can pay off debt thats how that works @dindins

@Deleted User Yes, but this different. At no time has humanity experienced complete and conscious economic emancipation. It is very radical transformation. Like a singularity.

Oh, theres a book on debt I haven't read yet but its on my list: "Debt: The first 300 years". Ive heard good things.

3000*?

Alright then.

Do you even hear yourself?

Assuming you have read Engels. History is a story of the relationship to production.

Production is related to materials and boy do we all love materials

Yes we do.

That is a very narrow view on such a complicated subject.

This is the materialist theory of history.

It is mentioned in the link I posted for you.
