that's why Im market socialist

until we invent supercomputers capable enough to organise central planning and determine that its superior to the free market

supercomputers also solve the problem of SNLT.

I wouldn't trust those either

I've heard of societies run by computers, and it ain't pretty

Well, it's because computers aren't developed enough to handle immense calculations

it's not the math

it's the human factor

quantum computing could make it possible, as well as linear programming

human factor?

how's a machine supposed to know how to centrally organize a society of organic, imperfect beings who can think for themselves?

supercomputers only calculate economics and input and output of data as such.

they don't determine life

or society

or values

in a socialist system

so they would still be a tool for human masters

no, only for economics

everything else is the same

we obviously don't advocate for computers to rule as in every aspect

good

that would be scary

again, I've seen stuff like that on sci-fi shows

and in movies

and in books

true

but just saying, us socialists don't advocate for things like that

only economics as such should be calculated

I remember watching a SeaQuest episode where the crew found two children raised entirely by computers

they were anti-social, didn't like being touched, cold, had no idea how to interact with other human beings, and played games that had real-life consequences involving giant robots

btw @Donaldus Triumphus im not a fascist anymore

yay!

so remove role

I only belive in a couple of things now

you would never find someone in the socialist bloc who's socially conservative like me

I believe in market socialism, libertarian and democratic socialism now

then you must be a rarity

that's because there are different types of socialist thought

capitalism is a relatively abstract political ideology set in stone

while for socialism, there are many types of socialist thought

no two socialists share the same values
