hi
hello
its february already?
time flies fast
How possible will it be for PRC to dissolve like the Soviet Union did? And if so, what would be the consequences for that huge disruption the balance of power?
@Spookaswa except we don’t have capitalism
We have a mixed economy
And these very recessions are caused by the socialist policies in place
For example the FED, central banks create boom and bust cycles
Let's agree to disagree.
@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ Name the socialist thinker who said market interventionism is socialism
I don’t need to, socialism actively tries to abolish the market forces
Historically, it was about the worker managing the means of production, with the state often being seen as a means to achieve this end
To abolish the market
Not all socialists want to abolish the market
Correct and that’s why any market intervention is strictly socialist
That’s the goal of socialism
it is, just at it's core, what I described above
"The state is seen as a means to bring about collective ownership"
"Any market intervention is strictly socialist"
Not all socialists , but socialism itself does, that’s the goal of it. It’s why every market intervention is socialist
Yes
Tax, regulations, tarrifs, price controls . Subsidies you name it
A brief history of socialism
It was never about market intervention
Yes it was
It was always about abolishing the market aswell
Okay, so name the socialist who said it was.
I want a name.
As you said a transition between capitalism to communism
Wrong
Marx, as he said communism was a marktless society
So you were wrong ?
No, you're wrong
I said Marxist-Leninism sees socialism as the transition from capitalism to communism, aka, the USSR
Good
Thanks for proving the above
