Yeah, but they don't really redistribute the means of porduction.

2019-07-12 05:13:29 UTC  

They just central plan it for "The greater good"

2019-07-12 05:13:31 UTC  

because you can't 'redistribute' the means of production

2019-07-12 05:13:36 UTC  

Yeah, fascism allows for some capitalism

2019-07-12 05:13:37 UTC  

you literally cannot

2019-07-12 05:13:43 UTC  

It's a third position.

2019-07-12 05:13:45 UTC  

its fucking meaningless as a statement.

2019-07-12 05:14:16 UTC  

Actually think about what that means, redistributing the means of production, and try to imagine how it would work.

2019-07-12 05:14:16 UTC  

There are two basic things that define socialism:
1) Redistribute wealth
2) Collectivize the means of production

2019-07-12 05:14:25 UTC  

Same with collectivizing it.

2019-07-12 05:14:58 UTC  

The only way you can do it is to make them part of the state

2019-07-12 05:15:00 UTC  

which is fascism.

2019-07-12 05:15:04 UTC  

Collectivizing is one way of saying "state owned"

2019-07-12 05:15:21 UTC  

That's not collective ownership.

2019-07-12 05:15:34 UTC  

Collectivizing the means of production is not fascism, no

2019-07-12 05:15:43 UTC  

No no no see

2019-07-12 05:15:48 UTC  

You *cant* collectivize the means of production.

2019-07-12 05:15:56 UTC  

It doesn't fucking work

2019-07-12 05:16:05 UTC  

Sure you can, you just do it, you use force to do it

2019-07-12 05:16:26 UTC  

Like actually imagine what a factory owned by the entire society would look like

2019-07-12 05:16:29 UTC  

No, you really can't. You can make them state owned, but that means the state owns it, not the population.

2019-07-12 05:16:31 UTC  

How would that function

2019-07-12 05:16:51 UTC  

Collectivizing the means of production doesn't mean the whole society owns the factories

2019-07-12 05:17:04 UTC  

>Even more of a Nationalist, Conservative, and Revolutionary than me

2019-07-12 05:17:06 UTC  

OOF

2019-07-12 05:17:07 UTC  

But that's the intention, that they be used for the collective good.

2019-07-12 05:17:19 UTC  

The point is that its all rhetoric because anarchy is stupid

2019-07-12 05:17:19 UTC  

Revolutionary National Conservatism @Brigade?

2019-07-12 05:17:22 UTC  

But state owned it's not really that, it's for the good of the state.

2019-07-12 05:17:24 UTC  

and it just turns into state owned.

2019-07-12 05:17:27 UTC  

Which is fascism.

2019-07-12 05:17:35 UTC  

It means that the private individual does not own the factories, meaning an individual can only be *allowed to run* a factory, but it can't own it while running it

2019-07-12 05:17:55 UTC  

Yeah but what if you're running it and someone else wants to run it

2019-07-12 05:18:00 UTC  

one of the several million other people in the country

2019-07-12 05:18:05 UTC  

That's one of the problems, yes

2019-07-12 05:18:05 UTC  

and who pays for it

2019-07-12 05:18:07 UTC  

the maintenance

2019-07-12 05:18:10 UTC  

the materials

2019-07-12 05:18:25 UTC  

Practically speaking it doesn't work
