>>85095 But only the rich can use "their right to leave". The rest needs to save enough money for a little vacation or enough wealth to emigrate without any hustle. Like a today's Socialism which would come out of a western countrie, such things just couldn't happen. Back then ok, you created some space of freedom where there was none. But now we have even more potential freedom. Like then people could probably leave even easier, for better and longer vacations. Because every time-

Now were getting to the point where we're treading closer to debates about the merits of communism in general and detailing the thread, but the improvements to the USSR came at the expense of millions of lives directly. They were right to throw off the yoke of the Tzars but conditions had imrpov through economic, capitalist, liberalization in the West from similar conditions as well.

>>85101 communists came to power they created more freedom as there was before. You have to analyse the material (cultural) conditions of that time and country. If I unterstand you right I don't think we should hold doctors in the country in today's time. I think we should create conditions in which the doctor doesn't want to leave. Because he might not earn as much as in the US, but likes his job and to help people, and maybe even her country. Like basically we have Health Care in

>>85108 that's even what Marx thought. You need to have Capitalism (after Feudalism) to create industrialisation, but after some time Capitalism becomes useless for the people. Which is why we then need the next stage (Socialism). Marx even admired Capitalism for it productivity. But funny enough the communists in a Feudal Country didn't bring it to the collapse which seem inevitable, but even had a stronger production in the end of WWII than the Allies and Axis. And I don't know

>>85124 how exactly you mean that communism came at the expense of many people, but just look at Capitalism. The improvements of Capitalism come directly from the misery of the people. Even their death.

(Switched devices and therefore IDs) I'm aware that Marx wish for Socialism and Communism to grow from a Capitlist economy. However like so much of what you are discussing, that was theory, and seemingly divorced from reality. The reality is that Communism most often arises in states which are poor or near collapse; ripe beds for totalitarianism. Socialist policies on the other hand have proven to integrate well with a market economy in the cases of Social Democracies.

Scandinavian countries, which offer some of the highest standards of living in the world, also have some of the most economically liberal and friendly business environments. Even in China you can see the societal improvement that came with economic and individual liberalization.
It still seems to me that the power of the individual to guide their own destiny is the key.

Which is why the powerful government needed to enforce collective ownership of resources is dangerous.
At any rate I do plan on continuing to learn about socialism and I'm glad to have these discussions.

>>85146 Very good points. 1. My thoughts are that we need to Marx (and other thinkers) Thoughts as a fundament to build on. To bring them into the 21 Century. 2. Maybe because in richer countries you have a stronger Bourgeois who fight against communist influence. And this power decreases in poorer countries which creates a power vacuum. 3. The reasons there a Social Democrats is because there were Revolutionary tensions which could be used. I personally think that most SOCDEMS

People fought for human rights, freedom and things like healthcare. But people forgot they did. So now, step by little step those rights and benefits are taken away, because there are still people with more power than others. So a ML friend of mine would probably say something like "The Socdems destroyed our

About China- they still believe they are Socialist (even when they are critised to be State Capitalist). And it seems like they try to create some artificial boom in the economies to get the benefits of Capitalism, to then build a better Socialism. Remember that China was a

I don't know if strong government is always bad. It depends on the material conditions of your situation I think (and on what you what to archive.). But I believe generally speaking there needs to be some safety measures. Like I hate paliamentary democracy because it takes away the power

Also party politics corrupt politics in general, give posts to the false people and destroies many opportunities for a country. That's why something like councils can be dank, or used for an inspiration.

>>85152 And the Idea is often just to use the institution of the government to protect the people and their owernship of the means of production, etc. Because when you look at Spain, there will be other forces trying to destroy it. But hey we don't know how Socialism made in the west and in the 21 would look like. Maybe we could have a small Government and military and don't fear about foreign interference that much.

>>85155 The first point is one that I've heard non-communist speakers discuss but rarely ever any communists, which is honestly a turn off because so much of socialism seems rooted in the previous century; the relationship between labour and capital has surely changed since then.

As for the critique of SocDems, while I can see how they play their role in stifling a move to more radical leftism (like how conservatives offer a less radical route to patriotism than stronger forms of nationalism), I find it interesting that a realistic approach to offering solutions to what are considered on the left to be real social issues can be criticized so strongly.

Yeah maybe, but I think the world there is managing. They are basically practicing cronyism at the highest level; still an antithesis of freedom, and a great deal of the country still suffers for it.

It is funny, the soc dems claim that they are socialists, yet follow capitalism in nearly every way, only implementing policies of "MUH FREE HEALTHCARE" or "MUH FREE COLLEGE" to give off an illusion that they are socialists, yet in reality, they are the most hated branch of socialism since lenin first stated his hatred of it.

What would 'good leftists' do when it comes to the elections? Should they go for (slightly, or probably pseudo) left-leaning politicians or go full accelerationism by voting the reactionaries ironically?
