This is propaganda predicated on logical fallacies. Socialism doesnt work because individuals are motivated by personal self interest, not the interests of the centralized state or the privately owned interests that own the state. Governments lack the authority or sophistication to direct all economic actors, which is a technological limitation. Retail monopolies using internal data to inaccurately forecast demand for supply coordination has zero relevance to a state attempting to collect all data to control all industry. False equivalence. All of the "problems" cited with "free markets" are in fact examples of utilizing the state to prevent competition, thus picking winners and losers ie socialism. False premise. Modern "socialist" countries utilize international free markets, meaning capital still exists internationally and competes outside state authority. In the worst case individuals in socialist countries stop working because compensation for their own production is impossible, meaning their personal interests are supplanted by the state. They cant vote nor would expect representation because everything including their privacy is property of the central authority (thus the private owners of the sate), meaning they lack any form of rights because the state has total monopoly on authority. Regardless of their efforts they are never compensated, while private interests compel them to work as slaves, and all peer to peer commerce becomes illegal black market trade.

This phrase is getting around a lot but I think it only hurts the understanding and adoption of socialism.

That's exactly why so many people are afraid of socialism. Because they think it's about taking away their hard-earned money and giving it to some undeserving couch potatoes.

@helium-379

I dont know where you live but usually America is used as an example. Economic planing already exists. One example would be the government giving incentives for companies to behave certain ways and participate in a desired market. Case in point being all the money being pumped into EV cars and alternative fuels such as hydrogen. Its not just the money either. Its takes more to guide companies to go down certain paths which = money. So just indroduce taxes, policies, etc. to push companies down certain paths that would ultimately = money. However said measure can backfire hard and ironically drive the cost of living up. So be very very careful with exactly what and how you introduce plans. Also there isnt a need to implement measures on federal levels. That is just absurd, wholy unrealistic, and can have drastic concequences. I'd recomend trying things out on city or county levels before anything is scaled up. Don't be a minge that things they know what is best for everyone. You dont speak for all voices, just your own.

@zertun2380

1y↑36

Its worse then that. Workers and normal people can never be blamed for inflation, because its like saying we steal from ourselves. What I mean by that is that to fight inflation normal person must pay more, in hopes to cover a pit which appeared from corporate profit. That's because the economy can not function with only fresh money, meaning you have to have stable circulation of old money, now imagine very few people having amassed more resources them countries could, automatically you need more fresh money and so it value drop to balance it out they raise prices and taxes so we can cover the gap using our savings instead of making them release some of what they amassed because hedge funds, meaning they get more money we have less money that's economy 101 we are seeing today.

It's important to show that marxism has a lot to offer in terms of future prospects and new technologies, not only armchair philosophizing about the past.

More than great tbh (ofc the medium is diff and some ppl may find videos easier to follow).

However, just as an eg, you need someone like JT to compile this content about co-ord problems, planning, index funds etc.

On Twitter, just through mutuals, I could & have found all of this info and some more including a front row seat to the thought-process of some of these intellectuals themselves, when they talk to each other.

The best example of a planned economy with everyones' interests as an ultimate goal is a disaster recovery campaign -- with data collection and goods distribution. It makes total sense for everyone, and it works 10 out of 10 so well, that nobody asks for an "emergency market" to operate in its stead. In life-or-death kind of situations humans instinctively chose the most effective system. And it is not a market.

In an History course at the university some years ago, I came up with an analysis of what I called corporate communism, via the Pullman company story (they really were trying to implement corporate communism). It is still very true today, and this is what we are aiming at. A society where a few companies will own everything and distribute how they want, what they want to the (totally servile) people. You just replace the "government" in state communism with "the company and their shareholders". You could also call it neo-feudalism, replacing the kings and queens with CEOs and megalomaniac sociopaths.

Another good video, JT. The section about Sears can provide some additional value, though. If you think about it, it's a mini demo of the tragedy of the commons. In Sears' case, the commons was the infrastructure within which all those 'companies' operated: the building itself, which none of them had an interest in maintaining.
