I had the US in mind
I don't have it in mind.
which were you thinking of?
Every other?
India for example.
They would burn capitalist pigs nicely
Yes?
sure why not
I suppose that I can't really support communism
I support a purge of the executive class
but I am against centralisation etc
I do not support the purge and I'm in favor of centralization.
why not?
It is possible to take power without the purge of the whole class. It is possible to use other methods of control over it.
but certain elements must go?
It depends on a situation in the country and the country itself at every moment. Use any means necessary. Priority means is creative intelligent solution and not violence.
I support that
Lenin argued there is no bloodless revolution. But some revolutions may have very little blood or almost none. It depends. Better the governance skills of the rebels less violence is necessary.
I sure love grainy jpgs
What if – instead of ‘How Do You Make Yourself A Body WithoutOrgans?’ – one were to ask: how do you make yourself a Nazi?For this is far more strenuous than the 1980 diagnosis suggests.
1) Wherever there is impersonality and chance introduceconspiracy, lucidity. and malice. Look for enemies everywhere,ensuring that they are such that one than simultaneously envyand condemn them. Proliferate new subjectivities; racia1 subjects,national subjects, elites, secret societies, destinies.
2) Burn Freud, and take desire back to the Kantian conception ofwill. Wherever there is impulse represent it as choice, decision,the whole theatrical drama of volition. Introduce a gloomyatmosphere of oppressive responsibility by couching alldiscourses in the imperative form.
3) Revere the principle of the great individual. Personalize andmythicize historical processes. Love obedience above all things.and enthuse only for signs; the name of the leader, the symbol ofthe movement, and the icons of molar identity.
4) Foster nostalgia for what is maximally bovine, inflexible, andstagnant: a line of racially pure peasants digging the same patchof earth for eternity.
5) Above all. resent everything impetuous and irresponsible, insistupon unrelenting vigilance, crush sexuality under its reproductivefunction, rigidly enforce the domestication of women, distrust art,
classicize cities to eliminate the disorder of uncontrolled flows,and persecute all minorities exhibiting a nomadic tendency.
It's from a PDF so it probably dosn't copy paste well
lots of words get mashed together
but you get the picture
hello
Hail Posadas
Do you just understand basic economics ?
@Chaton Do u understand any economics?
No.
Do you?
@Chaton You know that the 'basic economics' you are learned is Capitalist economics and not Socialist/Communist economics, right?
No.
Proper economic theory can actually be applied to a variety of systems
It is only a failure of imagination that ties economists to capitalism or socialism
For example, i advocate a system where society is composed of co-operatives operating within the resources and regulatory context of collectives, which are in turn confederated together; this takes place on the scale of a city state. Imagine a libertariam market socialist singapore, if you will.
Within this context, i think that large-scale capital allocation (currently managed via the stock market and gov spending) can be handled in the following way:
Each collective pays in a portion (figure that out later) of each payment it gets to its collective fund. This portion goes to an alliance fund.
Once a [time period], vouchers are distributed, representing dollars in the fund on a 1-to-1 basis. Every project in every collective in the alliance gets to say why they should get your vouchers. You can give your vouchers to any project you want, as long as you are not a member of that project. These vouchers are then turned in for money from the alliance fund.
Using the usual assumptions of economics (perfect info, rational choices, ect.) you can predict that people will invest in things that maximize their utility; one of the effects of this is that the average value of everyone's transactions continuosly goes up. Further, attempts to cheat the system by not meeting your goals don't work long term, because they add in the info as to who is and isn't trustworthy, and then ceases funding for the expansion of firms controlled by bad actors.
It would be hard to call this system capitalist in the least, but it is still amenable to analysis by "capitalist" economics
