what type of flaws

2017-05-28 06:17:41 UTC  

The aristocratic communist party owns the manor and the land, and the workers work the land to stay and thrive

2017-05-28 06:18:01 UTC  

The workers only protest is leaving or begging for more rations

2017-05-28 06:18:11 UTC  

@Deleted User Only if you think of it as a static entity. The purpose is to increase class consciousness in the masses. There is no private ownership.

2017-05-28 06:18:26 UTC  

And the aristocrats turn a profit in trade of excess

2017-05-28 06:18:29 UTC  

this is what i mean by "accept ignorance and read more"... if you learn economics you get lessons on externality, such as when two firms have competing interests the market will incur a dead weight loss without regulation

2017-05-28 06:18:40 UTC  

health care when left to a free market falls into a 'death spiral'

2017-05-28 06:18:43 UTC  

There is no international trade or debt.

2017-05-28 06:18:57 UTC  

these two parallel conversations are stressing me out

2017-05-28 06:19:00 UTC  

also i have work in the morning

2017-05-28 06:19:03 UTC  

i should go to bed

2017-05-28 06:19:07 UTC  

There was in the USSR (no debt though)

2017-05-28 06:19:16 UTC  

Well at or out the USSR

2017-05-28 06:19:18 UTC  

Or in

2017-05-28 06:19:21 UTC  

They traded quite a lot

2017-05-28 06:20:00 UTC  

@Deleted User You mean give aid. There is no debt. How do you trade without tracking debts?

2017-05-28 06:20:25 UTC  

You make deals when your counterpart has the means to pay in full only

2017-05-28 06:20:47 UTC  

interest?

2017-05-28 06:20:50 UTC  

loans?

2017-05-28 06:21:09 UTC  

No need for such things

2017-05-28 06:21:12 UTC  

Debt is very useful as a leverage and bargaining tool in the right hands

2017-05-28 06:21:23 UTC  

i guess

2017-05-28 06:23:26 UTC  

what about starting firms

2017-05-28 06:24:04 UTC  

i feel like that's at least difficult without community banks/ loans unless you go crowdfunding or something

2017-05-28 06:25:07 UTC  

I can understand that, starting a sucessful business is hard enough even with a decent amount of investment capital

2017-05-28 06:25:55 UTC  

@not_matt in USSR under Stalin you could take loans for firms.

2017-05-28 06:26:11 UTC  

yeah thats my point

2017-05-28 06:26:54 UTC  

i cant tell when people are disagreeing with me tbh

2017-05-28 06:26:57 UTC  

were you backing me up there

2017-05-28 06:27:06 UTC  

whenever i get @'d i feel attacked initially

2017-05-28 06:27:22 UTC  

Also Stalin promoted loans to peasantry as a method to control peasantry.

2017-05-28 06:27:35 UTC  

Openly

2017-05-28 06:27:53 UTC  

Oy vey

2017-05-28 06:28:41 UTC  

@Deleted User He had to convenience many Marxist that loaning is a good strategy to get more control.

2017-05-28 06:29:06 UTC  

I mean, it is. At least, with the way societies tend to work

2017-05-28 06:29:39 UTC  

Loaning is inherently capitalistic

2017-05-28 06:29:45 UTC  

The loaner always seeks high returns

2017-05-28 06:29:57 UTC  

Charity on the other hand wouldn't

2017-05-28 06:30:16 UTC  

@Deleted User the USSR government didn't need money from peasantry. Only high degree of control.

2017-05-28 06:30:24 UTC  

High returns

2017-05-28 06:31:26 UTC  

Uncle Joe wouldn't charge interest.
