Why shouldn't stuff be free? Seriously I want to know why capitalist-minded people believe that human societies cannot run without money. Animals seem to manage.

>>14935578
Exactly. The neolibs are backpedalling hard because they are having to confront the fact that it is indeed labour that creates value, and not demand.

Aww look he's reading Marx. Wow, he must be so informed.
Guess what? Tons of people have read Marx. Nearly every properly educated person has read Marx. More people have read Marx than actually agree with Marx, because that book has been around since the 1800s, that shits been tried, and we've empirically proved that it doesn't work.
Maybe when you're a little older you'll figure out the meaning of why idealism is called idealism and not simply 'reality'. This isn't the 1880s. The 'means of production' are not some concrete entity which can be 'seized' unless you're some shithead that works at starbucks.
Go ahead and try to redistribute the wealth. Enjoy the immediate capital flight and brain drain, followed by food shortages and and complete and utter poverty, followed by militant counter-uprising, followed by totalitarian dictatorship after you and your comrades have all been shot in the back.

Already happening in America with Trumpbux. It is actually the left that is currently trying to stall this from happening.

Also, Marx is not an idealist, Marx endorses materialism. This is evident to anyone who has picked up one of his texts, which, clearly you have not, despite claiming that everyone has read marx.

1) do you not see how these two statements contradict, midwit?

and 2) Not American. I am british, and our governments plan of paying 80% of wages is a far superior idea.

"The Jewish nigger Lassalle who, I’m glad to say, is leaving at the end of this week, has happily lost another 5,000 talers in an ill-judged speculation. The chap would sooner throw money down the drain than lend it to a ‘friend’, even though his interest and capital were guaranteed. In this he bases himself on the view that he ought to live the life of a Jewish baron, or Jew created a baron (no doubt by the countess). Just imagine! This fellow, knowing about the American affair, etc., and hence about the state of crisis I’m in, had the insolence to ask me whether I would be willing to hand over one of my daughters to la Hatzfeldt as a ‘companion’, and whether he himself should secure Gerstenberg’s (!) patronage for me! The fellow has wasted my time and, what is more, the dolt opined that, since I was not engaged upon any ‘business’ just now, but merely upon a ‘theoretical work’, I might just as well kill time with him!

Since neither of these are viable, what do you suggest as an alternative?

>>14936074
technically its money they printed, and then distributed amongst the people because they didn't have a clue what to do with it when it did nothing to solve their economic issues. Though I concede its not technically redistribution if its all going to be worthless soon enough anyway.

>>14936079
Isms are shit. Think for yourself.

>>14936054
They are not doing 'rather well'. Go look at some documentaries on modern day Cuba. The Vice one was particularly good. It showed how fast-food workers were sitting there bored waiting for the dilatory government trucks to come deliver their product. The business did not care about making sales because all the workers had to do was show up for their hours and they would get paid, no matter how many sales they made.

The one industry that has been allowed some privatisation, the taxi industry, now pays its workers MORE than even doctors get paid in Cuba. Taxi drivers making more than doctors. This is not the way to run a country.

Lmao, reminder that the people who tell you you'll be allowed to keep your toothbrush because it isn't private property worship a guy who starved his own children to death because he was too lazy to get a job.

It's really the perfect microcosm of left-wing thought. They dress it up in fluffy language about equality, egalitarianism, liberty, but in the end you can always tell that they really just want free shit, because it's how they act. It's not about helping the poor, it's always either about helping themselves or hurting people who have more than them.

It's a religion of envy. This is why they kill their own children in the womb with pliers, as well, even the idea of feeding their own children at their expense angers them. Just like Marx. It pleases me enormously to imagine your seething rage, Leftists, that you will never be allowed to steal from me. Your efforts have failed so utterly that the modern idea of "Left-Wing" would have been considered far right in Bismarck's Germany.

There is something hysterical to it. The greatest victory of "The Left" in the last 20 years has been convincing people to pretend that homosexuals can get married, which is a hyper-liberal (and thus Capitalist) doctrine. The revolution was televised, because we won.

>because if any states do continue with capitalism they will outcompete those who choose less efficient systems. Until something more efficient appears(which would probably horrify you even more than capitalism does) it's not going to happen.
That's not the usual stupid post. However, you should know that Capitalism is becoming less and less "efficient" each decade. Tendency of the rate of profit to fall.

>>14936946
The factor that bring the end of capitalism is not a more efficient system appearing and outcompeting it, but a proletarian revolution. And no state will be able to just "continue" with capitalism in the face of such a revolution in several largest centres, especially not with the current dependence on foreign trade.

>>14937484
The fall in the rate of profit is brought about by increasing efficiency of production.

>>14937484
and if something more efficient(really no need for square quotes) develops then it will take over. It's actually tautological

What you socialist types want is for a system to be both powerful and ethical, but this would be pure luck. There is no reason for the two to coincide. I don't buy at all that your Marxist theories just happen to lead to a world of emancipated workers, and this has nothing to do with the desire for that world influencing the theories. But if it ever happens Ill happily admit I was wrong.

>>14937531
>, but a proletarian revolution.
I don't really understand what this is, but unless it were more efficient and powerful than capitalism, it will not compete against states that remain capitalist.

By proletarian revolution what sort of structure of society are you envisioning? How are decisions made, through a direct vote?

>>14936887
You have no idea how fracking works do you? Not that I am surprised.

Mark Twain once wrote to those equal to each class of money will retain their living’s. All to the end; justifies the begning. Like if explain marxistism,glad I made it to you. Really your poor; give me more. That’s capitalism philosophy, boys. By the way read Julius. Caesar. you’ll find the way to beg.

The pandemic is showing how fragile capitalism is. The global warming effects could be even worse. At this point is not about profit, is about surviving.

If a supposed socialist is concerned with conforming to some abstract moral principles then you know he's not a socialist. Also I don't know what you mean by "powerful" here.
>I don't buy at all that your Marxist theories just happen to lead to a world of emancipated workers
"Marxist theories" are only a clarification of the necessary goals of the proletarian movement, and it's no wonder that the end goal of this movement is emancipation of the proletariat. So you're right that this isn't just a happy coincidence here.

>I don't really understand what this is, but unless it were more efficient and powerful than capitalism, it will not compete against states that remain capitalist.
It will compete both through connecting with the proletariat in said capitalist states supporting their uprising in all ways, including militarily. I don't see what efficiency has to do with this, since both sides will be as efficient, as they will be operating on the same productive base developed by capitalism.
>By proletarian revolution what sort of structure of society are you envisioning?
Proletarian revolution is a class dictatorship of the proletariat.
>How are decisions made, through a direct vote?
Which decisions?

>>14937643
Treating it like a doomsday prophecy is indeed retarded, but still I really don't think economists generally accept it.

>>14937613
Of course someone as illiterate as you is gonna have to say the n word

>>14937697
>If a supposed socialist is concerned with conforming to some abstract moral principles then you know he's not a socialist
marxoids always say this as if their whole ideology isn’t predicated on abstract moral principles

>>14937697
>Which decisions?
the decisions that are now made by CEOs, the civil service, congress, supreme courts, presidents, etc.

>>14937724
Yes, it isn't, that's the point.

>>14937727
It depends on the decision and on the circumstances. There's no predefined formal template which on top of this applies to everything.

>>14937727
A CEO is just a worker. being CEO is a job, and it would not change. Now who owns the company, the shares. Thats what would change.

IF the rest of decisions you list currently depend on capital something is wrong. really wrong.

>>14937618
Imagine being this fucking retarded, communists needs to die.

>>14937780
Someone who answers a question about a proletarian revolution with a description of things that can and do exist completely within capitalism, outside of the period of proletarian dictatorship, is absolutely not a communist.

>The ordinary flu kills 1800 worldwide each day.
What's so hard to understand about the common flu being a global phenomenon since how long, while COVID-19 was 'born' less than 6 month ago in a bloody wet market and hasn't gotten around yet.
