Which is socialist

2019-01-07 21:51:29 UTC  

I can't find this definition anywhere

2019-01-07 21:51:42 UTC  

I mean even people like comrade hakim say this stuff

2019-01-07 21:51:56 UTC  

And those guys are proper socialists

2019-01-07 21:52:00 UTC  

this goes back to my earlier point that people have used socialism in all kinds of settings

2019-01-07 21:52:09 UTC  

maybe we just have different definitions

2019-01-07 21:52:11 UTC  

and that's ok I guess

2019-01-07 21:52:22 UTC  

yeah but it doesn’t mean they’re right

2019-01-07 21:52:24 UTC  

For example

2019-01-07 21:52:26 UTC  

I just think that it makes more sense in describing this phenomena to describe "socialism" as needing to be socialized

2019-01-07 21:52:30 UTC  

Sweden etc are not socialist

2019-01-07 21:52:35 UTC  

no, they aren't

2019-01-07 21:52:38 UTC  

I agree

2019-01-07 21:52:50 UTC  

I don't know that there is a modern socialist economy

2019-01-07 21:52:55 UTC  

There is

2019-01-07 21:53:00 UTC  

I think Sid is right actually

2019-01-07 21:53:02 UTC  

Can we go to a pictureschat

2019-01-07 21:53:04 UTC  

I googled it lmao

2019-01-07 21:53:17 UTC  

what'd you find @Obungus

2019-01-07 21:53:29 UTC  

It is defined as a state controlled economy

2019-01-07 21:53:56 UTC  

really, where?

2019-01-07 21:53:57 UTC  

or a collective owned MoP

2019-01-07 21:54:04 UTC  

Anywhere you wanna look for definitions

2019-01-07 21:54:10 UTC  

Ye

2019-01-07 21:54:17 UTC  

I found a couple websites that specify that it needs to be collective

2019-01-07 21:54:22 UTC  

Collective or state

2019-01-07 21:54:39 UTC  

I have found more that say both rather than a collective

2019-01-07 21:54:52 UTC  

interesting. That's convincing @Obungus

2019-01-07 21:55:03 UTC  

Communism would be just workers

2019-01-07 21:55:18 UTC  

It's hard to find what "real socialism" is

2019-01-07 21:55:27 UTC  

The state in socialism would try to remove the market forces and pave the way for communism

2019-01-07 21:55:35 UTC  

but whether or not that works is different

2019-01-07 21:55:35 UTC  

right, like I've said it's a very vague term at this point

2019-01-07 21:55:42 UTC  

true

2019-01-07 21:56:13 UTC  

Communism tho

2019-01-07 21:56:18 UTC  

I think even socialists agree that’s impossible

2019-01-07 21:56:23 UTC  

You’re never going to suppress a market

2019-01-07 21:57:23 UTC  

so communism is more a dictatorship of the workers then yea?

2019-01-07 21:57:47 UTC  

Well there is no state

2019-01-07 21:57:49 UTC  

In communism
