This is why we need MERCHANTILISM

2020-01-12 00:54:37 UTC  

That's completely absurd

2020-01-12 00:54:39 UTC  

We need Minarchism

2020-01-12 00:54:42 UTC  

WEll sure the Civil war killed more Americans than any other. But we were fighting the most deadly enemy we had ever faced...... Americans.....

2020-01-12 00:54:53 UTC  

We need authoritarian anarchy

2020-01-12 00:54:56 UTC  

😂

2020-01-12 00:54:58 UTC  

true

2020-01-12 00:55:02 UTC  

Socialism is not an evolution of Capitalism

2020-01-12 00:55:05 UTC  

to authoritarian anarchy

2020-01-12 00:55:13 UTC  
2020-01-12 00:55:18 UTC  

fascism was an evolution of socialism tho

2020-01-12 00:55:31 UTC  

evolution is being used in two different ways here

2020-01-12 00:55:32 UTC  

But first we must complete the Libertarian dictatorship

2020-01-12 00:55:39 UTC  

Democratisation of the Workplace that Socialists want really isn't that bad of an idea

2020-01-12 00:55:40 UTC  

I think facism is a workable communist state

2020-01-12 00:55:53 UTC  

Well to be fair Marx thought (he had a lot of retarded ideas) that socialism and eventually communism would occur in industrial capitalist nations.

2020-01-12 00:55:53 UTC  

but horrible still

2020-01-12 00:55:58 UTC  

We need to ensure people have freedom through violent force

2020-01-12 00:56:00 UTC  

marx thought that socialism was an evolution of capitalism in the same way he thought capitalism was an evolution of feudalism

2020-01-12 00:56:06 UTC  

not at all. by definition communism and the legitimate state cannot coexist

2020-01-12 00:56:41 UTC  

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

2020-01-12 00:56:47 UTC  

@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

2020-01-12 00:57:05 UTC  

facism is just communism that works

2020-01-12 00:57:07 UTC  

Well Socialism can improve on Capitalism in many ways

2020-01-12 00:57:09 UTC  

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

2020-01-12 00:57:15 UTC  

the way in which fascism was an "evolution" of socialism is quite distinct from this

2020-01-12 00:57:18 UTC  

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.

2020-01-12 00:57:28 UTC  

Like Democratisation of the Workplace that i mentioned before @Benjamin Henry

2020-01-12 00:57:40 UTC  

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

2020-01-12 00:58:02 UTC  

a conception largely produced by evidence and experience, bear in mind

2020-01-12 00:58:19 UTC  

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

2020-01-12 00:59:07 UTC  

The only thing fascism could see socialism had a point on was central authority and the supposed grand failure of liberalism

2020-01-12 00:59:28 UTC  

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

2020-01-12 00:59:33 UTC  

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?????

2020-01-12 00:59:50 UTC  

whatever people vote for

2020-01-12 00:59:51 UTC  

It's inherently a better system

2020-01-12 00:59:59 UTC  

or whatever the managers who people elected decide

2020-01-12 00:59:59 UTC  

That would be up to the workers @Jym

2020-01-12 01:00:17 UTC  

i mean worker cooperatives empirically function fine

2020-01-12 01:00:17 UTC  

that's not as singularly apparent as you seem to believe

2020-01-12 01:00:35 UTC  

@The Electric Lizard

Have you met other human beings? It is going to be 2 or 3.
