But yeah, killing the rich would be better if it was more of a Worker's Militia than a military. If one is needed, only use it for self defense and the well being of our citizens.
Also, seizing their resources would not be that difficult. You try to make it seem impossible.
It's not that hard for a state to seize resources, buddy.
I think you don't understand how modern finance works
You'll get a bunch of big houses
And cars
But you'll not see a penny
Who cares about modern finance? This is not about that.
Leftism is definitely not modern finance.
Just gonna move my mansion overseas
Ok what currency will you use
It will not act in a capitalism mode.
Modern currency will be necessary for a time, but soon we'd move onto labor vouchers.
of course modern currency will be necessary and you'll lose the majority of it
and you'll have as I said a lot of big houses and fancy cars
Not exactly useful
What political ideology do you subscribe to? What are you?
Don't know haven't made up my mind yet but you and I agree on more than you think
Probably.
I just think you're clinging to a historical vision of doing things and you need to modernise
I don't know my friend
But it would not be a capitalist one
"Modernize" lol. Leftism is all about progress. Progressing past the modern way of doing things.
Since Socialism is about seizing and increasing productive forces, finance isn't immediately useful, especially since after a revolution currencies go to shit
The idea what what is now must necessarily exist forever is corrosive.
Because I think capitalism causes culture deterioration and I dislike that
I think materialism leads to nihilism and I think materialism comes with capitalism
You sound SocDem to me.
I don't think you should say that leftism is all about progress
I'm not a believer in democracies
But it is. Or at least an aspect of it is.
You and Bordiga.
Most of your talking points seem straight from 4chan
Also, no fucking duh Capitalism causes cultural deterioration. How can you have a culture and market? Anything that can be sold *will* be sold.
Most of USA culture comes from Corporations.
If you say that progress is an intrinsic property of something I think that would result in culture deterioration also
Why is a wedding ring a cultural symbol of marriage? Da Beers said so. Why is bacon an eggs a staple of American Breakfast? Fucking Edward Bernays.
USA is capitalist culture that is the culture
Cultures will change no matter what we do. It's just the change shouldn't be synthetic and caused by someone trying to sell you something.
But here in Europe we were not always this way it is because of America that we have become that way
