#Realcommunismhasneverbeentried
Some-one has to tell people what to do. Is the expectation people will somehow work perfectly fine an in a perfectly organised way without anyone acting to organise and manage people?
The only way I can see it working is a monthly Job lottery.
They just imagine a hippy commune but on a giant national scale Not realising that on a grander scale than a small group it will mean trying to figure out how to organise people to do jobs that require a lot of specialisation or work but also are often not very enjoyable. Most communes etc have ways to generate funding to pay for some external services still or rely on some external services still
And look how the French Revolution played out. With groups part of it turning on one another and it not being about much more than adhering to an every changing set of positions and beliefs or being deemed the next traitor.
Read something longer than 4 panels.
Then so are races, citizenships, etc. The word loses all meaning when referring to objects unrelated to the mode of production.
Man, that’s clearly what anyone involved meant. Genius.
I know it sounds weird. Statelessness was Marx's aim. Every attempt has utterly failed at tis
Ah, so random acts of accusation.
Where does this #Realcommunismhasneverbeentried come from?
I want to make it clear I’ve never made that argument and would not, and would instead say it has not been achieved, as communism is meant as a worldwide shift in productive methods (much like capitalism is, but it has been achieved).
Every time some-one points to a commuist / mostly communist claiming to be socialist regime that collapses the constant comment is "Well they didn't follow Marx's teaching properly or close enough if only they'd stuck to the true teachings it would have worked"
Have you ever criticized a state professing to be capitalist? Same difference genius.
Have you ever met a Libertarian? Classical Liberal? They've been saying the same things for well over a century. Usually to counter Communists complaints about them. That's where they got the idea from.
Pretty sure I have lol Hell I said before how there needs to be some regulating markets to stop abuses.
It's all the more galling when you realise that CEOs aren't Capitalists at all.
Yeah. When I criticize the failings of the Soviet Union or Cuba, it’s a similar thing.
No I agree with you. Biden saying vote for us and get two grand in the stimulus package is as you say a campaign promise. So even people who don’t vote for him are gonna get it. I mean shit if that qualifies as bribery then every single tax cut given to the rich - and the not rich come to that - is a bribe.
