they need to come from where they are most abunant to where they are most needed in an organized, planned way

2018-07-29 14:31:53 UTC  

all of your councils around the world would have to work out a plan together

2018-07-29 14:31:57 UTC  

I mean you can, without capitalism they can diversify their economy and without the state apparatus they no longer worry about border disputes

2018-07-29 14:32:17 UTC  

And the councils, if they feel it is a global issue, can kick the issue up to the international level

2018-07-29 14:32:26 UTC  

the damage capitalism has done will last for decades if not a century or more

2018-07-29 14:32:37 UTC  

I disagree

2018-07-29 14:32:45 UTC  

It will last until the end of the revolution

2018-07-29 14:32:55 UTC  

I think you are not aware of just how much damage is being done to the ecosystem alone right now

2018-07-29 14:33:16 UTC  

Our ecosystem is fucked

2018-07-29 14:33:17 UTC  

Or to peoples minds

2018-07-29 14:33:18 UTC  

permanently

2018-07-29 14:33:27 UTC  

and People's minds will be freed during the revolution

2018-07-29 14:33:44 UTC  

it's in an unsustainable decline and we need to stabilize it and overcome the consequences of climate change

2018-07-29 14:34:02 UTC  

that's fairly optimistic, capitalism is very good at making slaves

2018-07-29 14:34:08 UTC  

Its already too late though, the damage is done permanently to our planet

2018-07-29 14:34:12 UTC  

and freeing slaves takes more than to break their chains

2018-07-29 14:34:22 UTC  

It's even better at hiding its slavery

2018-07-29 14:34:32 UTC  

we can mitigate the warming through control of carbon emissions still

2018-07-29 14:34:45 UTC  

but yes many things are already going to create huge problems

2018-07-29 14:35:11 UTC  

that's exactly why it will be hard to free the slaves, they didn't even know they were in chains

2018-07-29 14:36:01 UTC  

and then you ask them to give up some of their wealth and comfort to other people?
how would you deal with the inevetable counter-revolutions?

2018-07-29 14:36:31 UTC  

Would it be considered a revolution if it's against the interests of the majority?

2018-07-29 14:36:39 UTC  

Then it's more like a coup

2018-07-29 14:36:44 UTC  

Or a revolt

2018-07-29 14:36:49 UTC  

If you try to impose the old system again, or create a new autocracy

2018-07-29 14:36:59 UTC  

something like that would be a counter-revolution

2018-07-29 14:38:05 UTC  

@Deleted User Read rosa luxemburgs reform or revolution

2018-07-29 14:38:15 UTC  

this was exactly the issue they were discussing in the e̶a̶r̶l̶y̶ ̶w̶e̶i̶m̶a̶r̶ ̶r̶e̶p̶u̶b̶l̶i̶c̶ 1899

2018-07-29 14:38:22 UTC  

and she gave a fantastic retort to that kind of thinking

2018-07-29 14:38:31 UTC  

~~Do I smell Bordiga?~~

2018-07-29 14:41:29 UTC  

Her analysis is eerily applicable today i found

2018-07-29 14:41:42 UTC  

many of the things she writes about you can see first hand happening today

2018-07-29 14:42:35 UTC  

what does that have to do with anything @PugSlugger

2018-07-29 14:43:12 UTC  

if you think that then i find that kinda sad tbh

2018-07-29 14:43:29 UTC  

or you're just trolling, allright then

2018-07-29 14:45:01 UTC  

or we just dont care to engage with arguments that have no substance and would require you to have actual knowledge of marx and the argument you are attacking

2018-07-29 14:45:39 UTC  

I read the whole thing

2018-07-29 14:45:45 UTC  

it has nothing to do with money

2018-07-29 14:45:55 UTC  

the market economy is the exploitative part

2018-07-29 14:46:05 UTC  

not the paying the worker less than he makes

2018-07-29 14:46:54 UTC  

you don't have to force people to pay anything for the goods you create
