This is why we need MERCHANTILISM
That's completely absurd
We need Minarchism
WEll sure the Civil war killed more Americans than any other. But we were fighting the most deadly enemy we had ever faced...... Americans.....
We need authoritarian anarchy
😂
true
Socialism is not an evolution of Capitalism
to authoritarian anarchy
@Benjamin Henry Arguable
fascism was an evolution of socialism tho
evolution is being used in two different ways here
But first we must complete the Libertarian dictatorship
Democratisation of the Workplace that Socialists want really isn't that bad of an idea
I think facism is a workable communist state
Well to be fair Marx thought (he had a lot of retarded ideas) that socialism and eventually communism would occur in industrial capitalist nations.
but horrible still
We need to ensure people have freedom through violent force
marx thought that socialism was an evolution of capitalism in the same way he thought capitalism was an evolution of feudalism
not at all. by definition communism and the legitimate state cannot coexist
he thought that capitalism would proletarianize the masses paving way for a proletarian revolution and for the proletariat to take the reins of state power from the bourgeoisie
@The Electric Lizard sure, in a certain sense, EVERYTHING is "arguable." But that doesn't mean there's any sort of reasonable grounds for your side of the argument
facism is just communism that works
Well Socialism can improve on Capitalism in many ways
Socialism didn't grow from capitalism, it's a separate system of economics that was built to leech off capitalism. But they're two very separate systems
the way in which fascism was an "evolution" of socialism is quite distinct from this
Of course industrial capitalist nations treat people better than communist ones so communism happened in agrarian feudal nations where there are little means of production to seize.
Like Democratisation of the Workplace that i mentioned before @Benjamin Henry
I mean, in a way that's not untrue, what with the widespread conception of the upper classes as being self-absorbed and an active detriment to the working class
a conception largely produced by evidence and experience, bear in mind
fascists rejected socialism but saw within socialist movements (specifically syndicalist ones) a legitimate movement that should be recognized in its role as an expression of proletarian interests
The only thing fascism could see socialism had a point on was central authority and the supposed grand failure of liberalism
Free Association as much a "democratization of the workplace" as any bullshit Marx ever proposed, and it doesn't require an overthrow of any existing power structures to work
Democratization of the workplace is a fundamentally stupid idea. Here, lets work through it. Say your democratic workplace manages a profit. You hold a vote to;
1. Hire more people and expand
2. Give everyone a raise
3. reduce the work week by 2 hours.
What wins the vote?????
whatever people vote for
It's inherently a better system
or whatever the managers who people elected decide
That would be up to the workers @Jym
i mean worker cooperatives empirically function fine
that's not as singularly apparent as you seem to believe
@The Electric Lizard
Have you met other human beings? It is going to be 2 or 3.
