Market Socialism is still socialism though, it is just an inferior form

"The problem with market socialism is that while its proposals would, taken at face value, do away with the bourgeois-proletariat class distinction, it doesn't do away with capital itself, or the profit motive, capital centralization, or fetishization of commodities that comes along with it - the most problematic outcomes of capitalism. Basically, everyone becomes a capitalist and arguably becomes subsumed even more thoroughly into the market/commodity paradigm. Competition, not cooperation, is still the rule. Therefore i would compare that to surplus extraction and the creation of profit. Simply putting a factory in the hands of the workers isn't enough to change its status as capital. If the factory is still run under the competitive dictates of the market, the law of value still impinges on the workers as an external force, alienating them, driving them to decrease socially necessary labor time and increase productivity. The capitalist is, as Marx said, simply capital personified. In a free market "socialist" society, the collective of workers is itself the "personification" of capital. Not only that, but under such conditions labor-power must be a commodity! For, if labor power isn't a commodity, then the market cannot be regulated by the law of value, it cannot exhibit the supposed rationality or allocative efficiency." - My notes on revisionism

> No, it has exploitation and capital

Socialism = worker ownership of the means of production

This is principle is still realised in MarSoc, so it is still socialism because the workers do manage their means of production. So you can't call it "un-socialistic", but you **can** and should argue that it is fundamentally non-viable

2018-12-23 16:29:50 UTC  

read it

2018-12-23 16:29:57 UTC  

tl;dr

2018-12-23 16:30:06 UTC  

It is socialism, but an inferior and unsustainable form

2018-12-23 16:30:11 UTC  

No, it is not socialism

2018-12-23 16:30:14 UTC  

TL;DR My communism is better than your communism

Socialism is inferior and unsustainable

2018-12-23 16:30:37 UTC  

Too bad that the word "socialism" was first invented and developed by people other than the guys you cite, so I'm afraid you can't own the label @Loser

2018-12-23 16:31:02 UTC  

Capitalism is inferior and unsustainable
