they tried to poison his milkshake one time

2018-05-07 22:26:30 UTC  

i was just going to mention that

2018-05-07 22:27:06 UTC  

@DA GOMMIE JOO#7269 And what I also stated was that there was little to suggest that that was actually the case, they just called the system worker self management while actually having a capitalist economy and called it a day.

2018-05-07 22:27:24 UTC  

@Erika.ϟϟ🇮🇪 How many doubles did castro have and how many got killed?

2018-05-07 22:27:28 UTC  

and I showed that they DID have worker self-management

2018-05-07 22:27:37 UTC  

and I proved that by citing evidence

2018-05-07 22:27:41 UTC  

And there was little to prove that.

2018-05-07 22:27:58 UTC  

the book that you screencapped

2018-05-07 22:28:20 UTC  

it fully stated that yugoslavia showed that self-management is feasible

2018-05-07 22:28:32 UTC  

if it had no self-management then how does it show that it's feasible

2018-05-07 22:28:35 UTC  

The evidence also referred to yugoslavia as capitalist and competitive in the market, meaning that the markets certainly weren't "Worker owned".

2018-05-07 22:29:00 UTC  

fucking hell
you can have cooperatives in a capitalist environment
that is the idea of a cooperative

2018-05-07 22:29:25 UTC  

they still have commodity production and a profit motive

2018-05-07 22:30:22 UTC  

its still capitalism but there isn't exploitation

2018-05-07 22:30:25 UTC  

^

2018-05-07 22:30:46 UTC  

but if left alone it would devolve into regular capitalism

2018-05-07 22:31:04 UTC  

thats why mutualism is dangerous

2018-05-07 22:31:20 UTC  

@Erika.ϟϟ🇮🇪 How would you know?

2018-05-07 22:31:43 UTC  

New Harmony

2018-05-07 22:31:59 UTC  

because hierarchies would naturally occur

2018-05-07 22:32:01 UTC  

1 min

2018-05-07 22:34:08 UTC  

So then that means that exploitation would occur in coops?

2018-05-07 22:34:25 UTC  

no
they'd just get phased out by regular businesses

2018-05-07 22:34:29 UTC  

^

2018-05-07 22:34:32 UTC  

it's very hard to start cooperatives

2018-05-07 22:34:51 UTC  

thats why there are so little in our modern day

2018-05-07 22:35:01 UTC  

not profitable

2018-05-07 22:35:37 UTC  

because there aren't made for profit, they're made for what benefits the labourers the most

2018-05-07 22:35:55 UTC  

@DA GOMMIE JOO#7269 So exploitation would occur.

2018-05-07 22:36:00 UTC  

yes

2018-05-07 22:36:12 UTC  

without intervention yes

2018-05-07 22:36:13 UTC  

@Erika.ϟϟ🇮🇪 *And probably because nobody wants to set up marxist coops.*

2018-05-07 22:36:31 UTC  

oh people want to
it's just very hard to organize them and incredibly risky

2018-05-07 22:36:40 UTC  

^

2018-05-07 22:36:40 UTC  

and I can't spell risky

2018-05-07 22:36:46 UTC  

risky

2018-05-07 22:37:09 UTC  

I mean think about it
you're giving up a lot to work with other people in a slower business

2018-05-07 22:37:31 UTC  

@DA GOMMIE JOO#7269 That's an unsubstantiated claim.

2018-05-07 22:37:49 UTC  

really?
giving up your job isn't risky?
