The bosses lording over the industry were the bourgeois. If the workers decided to not work or to use the product themselves they would be shot. Even shitty capitalists can't do that.

a core concept of it

is equality

>defend against imperialism
Empire defending against rival empires?

But why? When everyone is the same and has the same things you just get a bleak and stagnant society.

but some of us like to think of it as equality of unique individuals

dumby

you wants some liberating shit

let me pull out the good stuff, one sec

@Deleted User The difference is that the relationship to production is the same for every one. And the Party uses objective theory to progress society. It is necessary development where the expertise is not yet there. It is always developing. The USSR constitution was changed twice in 10 years. Step by step. That is dialectics.

TO move humanity to a stage where is can have economic emancipation.

People arent the same, and an equal society wouldn't require that of anyone. Instead, people can equally pursue their skills and passions, limited not by class and income.

what

says the fascist

feels

Dammit I'm more used to talking instead of typing.

If exploitation exists anywhere within system, even the king can be subject to it. Only without exploitation in the system can you be said to be truly free from it.

But what do you really gain from that freedom? How does it make peoples' lives better?

fuck freedom

@Deleted User More progress is possible.

read up on ownness

Progress in what sense?

@Deleted User Technology, industry, production...

@Deleted User But it wasn't in the USSR, there were clear and highly seperated strata. The workers, the bosses, and the bureaucrats (CPSU)

@Aidan
Define fascism

That can all be just as easily accomplished by Fascist states.

people i dont like

jk

he said earlier that he was tho

V2s, Jets, Assault Rifles.

@Aidan Define fascism

@Deleted User Depends what you mean by strata. It was authoritarian. Whole society was mobilised towards Socialism. The economy was militarised, but the means of production was public. An army needs generals.

define communism

Me?

if you would

Communism = Classes are eliminated except for working class, property is cooperatively shared between the working class

I understand fascism as an authoritarian method of organizing society where everyone acts as a cog for the machine that is the state, for the good of the state.

If that definition is fucked up in some way go ahead and BTFO me I'm tired as shit

no classes are abolished entirely

@Deleted User Capitalism or private ownership suffocates progress. In the sense that many ideas are never allowed to be tested. There is alienation to the workers.
