Hey Victoria though we'd best move that conversation about communism from FSX to here.
ma> I am a Marxist-Leninist... aka communist/bolshevik/(derogaatory by ultra
ma>leftists and liberals) tankie
ma> I am a super strong avocate for 20th century Socialism
ma> which is worker's state, centrally planned economy, means of production ma>seized
ma>by workers, and no markets
Though I'm definitely on the left, I'd have to say that history & the soviet union's failure to keep up with the west illustrate that a centrally planned economy just doesn't work well.
ma> under capitalism there is severe exploitation
ma> under socialism exploitation is non existant
ma> exploitation is where someone who dose not contribute to society live off ma> the
ma> labor of others. aka the capitalist. they live off the labor because they ma> own
ma> the factories etc. aka the means of production
Again history shows that just isn't the case, at uni I met a number of Russian and east european academics all of whom had horror stories of how
just how exploitative Russia's socalist state was to its people.
Similarly I know several Chinese Ex-Pats who say similar things about the CCP & how things are run in China.
How do you envisage a new communist partly/state avoiding this?
... White dwarf seeks red giant for binary relationship.
