2019-04-22 00:24:28 UTC

2019-04-22 00:24:30 UTC

They tried to invade finland and failed

2019-04-22 00:24:59 UTC  

Pussy bitches

2019-04-22 00:25:05 UTC  

That was justified

2019-04-22 00:25:09 UTC  

USSR was very much state capitalism like China is today

2019-04-22 00:25:09 UTC  

To be fair

2019-04-22 00:25:14 UTC  

Ok so that I understood.
Now, yugoslavia started as socialism, but degenerated into authoritarianism. Correct?

2019-04-22 00:25:27 UTC  

During Tito it was socialist

2019-04-22 00:25:28 UTC  

No

2019-04-22 00:25:30 UTC  

Albania

2019-04-22 00:25:43 UTC  

Yugoslavia was market socialism

2019-04-22 00:26:05 UTC  

Yes but it was worker’s ownership of the means of production was it not

2019-04-22 00:26:20 UTC  

Where does that conflict with the market

2019-04-22 00:26:27 UTC  

It was but it was market because he allowed freedom of trade and some capitalist elements

2019-04-22 00:26:31 UTC  

Not as bad as China

2019-04-22 00:26:35 UTC  

But some

2019-04-22 00:26:54 UTC  

Ok so if you have markets, but worker ownership of the MoP. Is that socialism?

2019-04-22 00:27:00 UTC  

fuck this is boring.

2019-04-22 00:27:14 UTC  

Workers ownership of the means of production

2019-04-22 00:27:17 UTC  

Is socialism

2019-04-22 00:27:44 UTC  

At least in Marxist principle

2019-04-22 00:27:52 UTC  

I’m just done with this debate @Geoffrey you’re clearly not here to learn but to argue

2019-04-22 00:28:07 UTC  

And you seem to not get what we’re telling you

2019-04-22 00:28:27 UTC  

@ᵈˢʳ✪
So I have a bunch of enterprises competing in a maket with each other.
But they're each run by meetings with all the workers.
Is that socialism?

2019-04-22 00:28:49 UTC  

Yes it is a form of socialism

2019-04-22 00:29:54 UTC  

@Deleted User
No I'm just trying to understand what the fuck you consider socialism.
It's a fucking problem I have EVERY TIME I argue with socialists.
I've had some tell me "Of course the USSR was socialism. What the heck."
Others don't.
Some think NK is. Others don't.
And I have to go through this fucking process every time. it's so fucked.

2019-04-22 00:30:17 UTC  

And we’ve told you

2019-04-22 00:30:26 UTC  

Yet you continue to scream and curse

2019-04-22 00:30:45 UTC  

I understand your frustration but that usually is because there isn’t really a universal definition of socialism

2019-04-22 00:31:10 UTC  

@Geoffrey you get that with how sectarian leftism is

2019-04-22 00:31:30 UTC  

Yea there’s more infighting on the left than debate with the right

2019-04-22 00:31:31 UTC  

It's a problem not only for me you know.
this fucking thing happens a lot in left/right debates. Well, economic left/right debates at least.

2019-04-22 00:31:47 UTC  

Yea again I get it

2019-04-22 00:31:56 UTC  

Socialism is very vast

2019-04-22 00:32:24 UTC  

You cannot just limit yourself to less than 100 years of its history and only one school of thought

2019-04-22 00:33:25 UTC  

That would be like me judging all Christians on the basis of what the Catholic Church does
