@Aidan Oy vey stop being such a national socialist!
Exploitation is stealing the surplus labor of working people. also lol
And who owns the means of production?
If I own a business and hire people am I exploiting them?
yes
@Deleted User The proletariat, which becomes everyone.
How so?
So do you consider any commune that has existed communist?
You are stealing their surplus labor value. That is, the worth of the labor they produce is what you would profit from, yet you require them to create wealth. You steal their labor, and contribute nothing to it
@Deleted User No. Only USSR up until Khrushchev then there was revisionism and decline.
That sounds like an unjust trade rather than thievery
Maybe Albania and a few others.
How am I stealing it? If they voluntarily agree to work for me knowing the parameters of them working for me how is that wrong?
>voluntarily
>USSR up to Kruschev
You consider THAT a dictatorship of the proletariat?
If I'm not forcing them to then its voluntary they don
It's not voluntary. They need money to survive
@Deleted User All successful Socialist states follow the Soviet model, Marxist-Leninism
have to choose me
@Deleted User Yes, the best model of it.
^^
Communists fall for it the most
And just did
They don't last though, they stagnate and collapse. @Deleted User
ill take a step back here then, let you guys handle this
@Deleted User Lasted long enough to transform USSR into a superpower, oh, and that's after crushing 80% of the Wehrmacht.
It still didn't even last into the 21st century, in the end it failed.
If you don't work you go to Gulag.

>The USSR
>A successful SOCIALIST state
There were classes, there were bourgeois.
The government officials and the bureaucrats were elevated/venerated in that society, not the workers. The workers were at most nominally appreciated yet they were treated poorly especially in the beginning.
I would just say you don't eat and save the resources but whatever. @Deleted User
the ussr is not some infallible thing
@Deleted User So? This is just the beginning. The Battering Ram has just reached the gates. Communist theory is ongoing.
It has failed, Communism is in decline while Fascism is on the rise the future power is clear.
>forced labor camps
Germany is guilty of it as well. There is nothing socialist about slavery.
all of us want to take what was done and trim the fat
no the ussr did not achieve communism
A command economy will never be as innovative or effecient as a market one.
nor did it even achieve socialism probably.
@Deleted User There were no bourgeoisie, but their were bureaucrats, yes. This is necessary to structure society to defend it against imperialism. What good are your theorise if you cannot defend them?
(with my limited knowledge on the subject)
