At the same time, most of the sort of countries you are talking about came about during the era where the US was waging explicit war on global communism and invading and proxy war invading the countries who were communist. Look at what they did in Indonesia just for being third worldist but not even communist. It seems really unlikely cuba would have survived as a communism regime if they did not have a military or backing of the soviet union. The US is chomping at the bit to invade north korea and venezuela, and the idea that it is for humanitarian reasons or democracy is a farce. Our sanctions activity contribute to hunger in venezuela and we are letting millions starve during a pandemic without aid. Hell, north korea is still technically in a war, it's just an armistice, and we were the aggressors. If they said we are disbanding the military, do you think the US would let them be? During the Cold War the US allied with communist nations to divide up the Soviet sphere. They even explicitly threw out their relations with Taiwan to further seperate the PRC and USSR. Now we're seeing them reverse course but that's how geopolitics goes. The PRC played the game better than the US, but at no point was communism a major factor for either (the US and China simply mutually opposed the Soviet Union). Then you have more explicitly allied nations like Yugoslavia where the US literally provided them with financial aid after World War II. Both the USSR and US also allied with countries that were theocratic, dictatorships, etc. because again geopolitics. The US also freed the Japanese Communist Party after WWII and it survives to this day as the oldest political party in Japan and one of the largest communist parties in a democratic country. I have no love for the US and hate their foreign policy, but I have no love for other imperial powers either. Thinking the geopolitical game was as simple as capitalism versus communism though is simply wrong. That's like buying their argument World War I was a war for democracy (that was the propaganda at the time). By the time the Cold War was in full swing the USSR had given up on even trying to implement socialism. Also North Korea literally invaded the South, you are obviously a tanky if you would post such a blatant lie as a fact. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

And they are often in danger of being overthrown. Nothing has lasted longer than the Zapatistas and then explicitly do not have a formal military or any leaders. Their army is volunteer militias acting under consensus. They have almost certainly come the closest to implementing socialism of any organization on a large scale and if any state wanted to crush them they could easily do so. Rojava is in an active war zone surrounded by warlords and terrorists. They aren't trying to resist the foreign capitalists coming to get them, they're resisting everything ranging from religious extremists to regional dictators. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| ssjevot 02/04/21 2:42:01 AM #67 | fuming posted... The problem is pretty much that it's hard to figure out a way to have a true socialist economy without your country being overthrown by the forces of capital, leading to people using authoritarian governments with powerful militaries to not only deter invasion, but to deter coup attempts internally fomented by global capital. And then having an authoritarian government leads to your country being unable to fulfill your goals of being a truly socialist country because authority is against the spirit of the cause. The first part of your post is basically accepting tanky propaganda as factual. Authoritarianism was the goal from the start and remains the goal under these regimes. The idea of the benevolent dictator is preposterous. If authoritarianism is the only way to defend yourself why are many of the strongest militaries in the world under liberal democracies? And why do those authoritarian states fall anyway and never implement socialism? Why don't communes that have come close to or possibly even succeeded at implementing socialism not get overthrown when they have no military? Tankies do not want or care about socialism, it is a means to an end, just like fascists will talk a bunch of bullshit platitudes to gain power or basically any other group that wants power. Anyone who tells you to give up your freedom for some abstract promise or platitude is clearly not looking out for your interests. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

Growing wealth inequality, higher costs of living with stagnant wages, for starters I see this come up a lot where people assume America is the only country basically. There are many social democracies or just other welfare state capitalist countries that have high degrees of equality and fair wages. The countries with the least inequality and highest median wages are all capitalist countries with generous welfare states. I think social democracy is clearly superior to both the shit system America has and state capitalism. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

What does a fully socialist economy even look like? I think there are some communes that have actually implemented a system that resembles socialism. Somewhat famous ones are in Latin America. But like I said there is such a strong current of state capitalism under a dictatorship is socialism now that it's hard to talk about socialism at all. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| ssjevot 02/04/21 2:30:03 AM #48 | Broseph_Stalin posted... It's true that no socialist state ever actually led to workers owning the means of production (which is indeed an argument against it), but central planning is not capitalism. State capitalism is a form of capitalism. Even actual Marxists think it is. You can argue the form of capitalism actually practiced in say the PRC is a far cry from state capitalism due to the massive private sector and anti-worker, pro-employer legal environment but it's absolutely capitalism either way. The means of production are held privately or by the government elite, either way the workers do not have any control or say over their labor conditions (striking and making your own labor union is always illegal in these states). --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

To be fair a large number of people claiming to be socialist, including multiple posters on this board claim that the USSR, PRC, North Korea, etc. are/were socialist and are/were actually great countries. They basically think state capitalism is socialism and want to live under a dictatorship because America bad or something.

| ssjevot 02/04/21 2:20:27 AM #38 | You can't really claim socialism states were failures compared to capitalism because every "socialist" state had or has a capitalist economy. You can argue that the reason they abandoned pursuing socialism is an argument against it, but you can't point at say the PRC and say "see socialism bad" when there is nothing socialist about the economy. You need to show an example of actual socialism (as in workers controlling the means of production) failing to provide evidence it doesn't work. And I am not advocating for it but saying a state that called itself socialist failed therefore socialism doesn't work is like saying North Korea calls itself democratic therefore democracy is bad. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| ssjevot 02/04/21 12:37:44 AM #40 | fuming posted... This might be an argument if we had a guaranteed income, ubi, or some other social safety net, but since everyone has to work to survive, it isn't true. Exactly. The argument that it's an agreement between employer and employee ignores the difference in power. Every agreement has what is called a BATNA (best alternative to a negotiated agreement). The employer has hiring someone else, and the low skill employee has starving. Therefore a low skill employee will take the minimum wage job because they need to survive. And this is looking at it in America. A lot of people are working under worse conditions for longer hours for a dollar a day at most just to survive. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

There are many ways to do it, but the key is that everyone is guaranteed enough money, regardless of work status, to live a life above the poverty line. Minimum wage is pointless if we have a GMI because people now have an alternative to wage labor for survival. Companies have to pay a decent wage or people just won't work. Currently there is no viable alternative to working for most people so they accept incredibly low wages as a means of survival. Raising the minimum wage leaves a lot of people in various situations struggling and hand waves the issue of what if there aren't enough jobs available. It seems people can accept the idea that a job should have to pay a living wage but any concern about people who cannot get a job is somehow overlooked. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |
