and to be even more clear with my opinion on libs, dealing with the climate situation requires changing the mode of production. many liberals still think there is a win-win situation, that we can tech our way out of this. but the technology for large-scale carbon sequestration, like BECCS, has existed for around 150 years. this is why I hate primitivists, be they fascist or anarchist (what's the difference?? heyoooo!)

we need to put the resources that exist to better uses than what private capital wants. but above all liberals want to preserve private property, even if it means letting hundreds of millions die. it is for this reason that liberals are likely to go down the ecofascist route, the exteminationist scenario in Frase's Four Futures. already people like david attenborough and other high-profile libs are worried about muh overpopulation

Fascism doesn't recognize private property the way liberals do. Property in fascism serves a social function up to and past the socialization of profits.

Wake up and smell the coffee. Millions of people will die either way. Places like africa have an exponential population boom without any brakes. All because of food imports from developmed countries. As soon as you stop those food imports you're going to end up with a famine in your hands. People will die, there is no taking the moral highground here.

Not only that, 90% of people are liberals. In the west you have what is essentially a labor aristocracy. No westerner wants to give up their cheap sweated goods and iphones.

No, alienated labor is. Or more accurately, bourgeoisie sitting on their arse and doing nothing, with their only responsibility being delivering profit to shareholders. Again, socialization of profits still works in the framework of private property—but the bourgeoisie essentially becomes a manager of the means of production rather than simply a rentier. They have an obligation to production, yet they are still in charge of the allocation and distribution of capital. The only argument you can give me against this is whether it solves the contradiction of capitalism or not.

2. Reducing their function to management means reducing it to labor. Bourgeoisie is not defined by any labor.

Market socialism isn't the end point of what I am suggesting. Of course people competing as groups will fall into the same problem of accumulation whether or not competition is at the individual or the group level. You're probably a Leninist who is advocating for central planning, which is one way to transition to a socialist system—whereas I advocate for private initiative as an expedient in the allocation of resources. I am not repeating what happened in the former soviet union. Competition is a great way to make advancement and increase efficiency—the disasterous effects of the business cycle will be alleviated to a greater extent, and you won't have the short comings of planning with a bureaucracy or 'computers' the way cockshott wants.

How much is going towards the expansion of business and how much are you going to allocate to the common weal? The 'bourgeoisie' is still making the decision in that regards, with the state as a regulator of relations. If you're going to argue that private property is no longer 'private' due to this relationship then by this logic the Nazis abolished private property, which you shouldn't argue with me but argue with the socialists.

Again, I removed the 'bourgeoisie' from the equation, but bourgeoisie =/= private property. Private property is control over the productive forces. Just because the state gives an obligation to who it recognizes as the property owner doesn't mean private property is eliminated, just regulated in it's social functions. If this means the 'elimination' of private property for you then great! To others, especially for orthodox Marxists this is not enough.

>>19265246
This is during the NEPA, the NEP for lenin was 'one step backward to go two steps forward'. Russia was not industrialize and the NEP's purpose was to create a state regulated 'bourgeoisie' to fulfill their historical role. After Lenin died stalin put an end to the NEP. We are not preindustrial russia anymore so there is no need for competition in the form of NEP

They didn't, since taking power from bourgeoisie and giving it to NSDAP doesn't actually take any power from the bourgeoisie - as NSDAP is bourgeois in itself. It's some bourgeois fusing with the government in order to fuck over all the other bourgeois for personal gain. Did you even read ItHSoC?

How do they not? Is making decisions about the allocation of resources, what to produce, where to expand, coordination with other factory owners, analyzing the profit margin, not an obligation to production?
>they didn't
>as nsdap is bourgeoisie in itself
arghh, this is an argument I hate happening because I am not a spokesperson for the hitler regime.
First off the goal of the nsdap since the beginning was cannibalization of the civilian economy in preparation for war. Germany was overpopulated with a well developed industry but a completely backwards agriculture sector. The economic perspective of the nazis was that the nation must expand in the interests of the peasant and the proletariat in order to prevent disaster. Nazi deficit spending in the production of steel happened to benefit certain large sectors of german industry. If bourgeoisie production was geared towards something which the nazis did not deem to be progressive, the nazis would have expropriate their possessions, and they have many times. The objective of the nazis was to win the war and gain farmland in eastern europe. Judging them by their domestic economic policy as not 'socialist' because of this is like judging the ussr for their 'war communism'.
>Leninists had zero beef with market competition.
Again, during the NEP. In a Marxist framework market relations would have to be abolished because it presupposes generalozed commodity production. Market relations under lenim were to be a temporary expedient. Market relations don't work under a socialist mode of production but socialism again isn't accomplished overnight.

>as NSDAP is bourgeois in itself.
They were quite literally lumpenproles. The overwhelming majority of the NSDAP was demobilized war veterans. Their voting base was protestant germans. You can only make the argument they were middle class, white collar workers and the like. But most certainly not a bourgeoisie party. That is absurd.

>> No.19265422

>>19265367
>Is making decisions about the allocation of resources, what to produce, where to expand, coordination with other factory owners, analyzing the profit margin, not an obligation to production?
Making those decisions under obligation to production is just administrative labor, and in no way bourgeois - since the actual decision (cui bono?) is already made, you're just performing the labor of realizing that decision, so the means in question are not in the private property. If the bourgeoisie can actually decide cui bono, then they indeed own private property, but it means that they have no actual obligation to production.

>arghh, this is an argument I hate happening because I am not a spokesperson for the hitler regime.
How does your argument contradict any of my points? Does winning wars against foreign capital somehow transcend bourgeois power and interests? WWI never happened?
>Judging them by their domestic economic policy as not 'socialist' because of this is like judging the ussr for their 'war communism'.
Why shouldn't we judge USSR for war communism, btw?

>Again, during the NEP.
Again, even beyond that. NEP was allowing market accumulation. Conclusion of NEP ended the process of market accumulation, but did not prevent market competition.

>Market relations don't work under a socialist mode of production
Correct. But market competition totally does. You're working from a foregone conclusion that USSR's economic failures are the product of stymieing market competition. Which is false - as market competition was present on every level of Soviet economy, through all the various forms it took during it's rather dynamic history. This should teach us that presence of market competition does not magically result in economic efficiency, and there might be additional requirements, but ofc we don't LIKE that conclusion because it's blashpemous.

No but it was precisely the NSDAP which controlled industrial output and directed it towards 'military goals'.

If you are saying that a party giving command to industrialists isn't capitalism, then the Nazis were not practicing capitalism.
>Does winning wars against foreign capital somehow transcend bourgeois power and interests?
The working class can never align themselves with the bourgeoisie ever? WW1 didn't have socialists supporting their respective countries in the war effort? Even Kropotkin was rooting for the entente, come on.
>Why shouldn't we judge USSR for war communism, btw?
Because it's wartime economics. A means to an end. It's sole purpose was to win the war and they did. The Hitler regime had the same economic policy.

I agree with the rest of your post, but competition did not exist in the ussr the way it did in the west. Competition =/= efficiency but the market in the ussr could hardly be called competitive. Socially you were even looked down on if you made too much money.

Ofc they can. Where did I ever claim the opposite? Point was - it was still bourgeoisie fulfilling it's own goals. Proles sharing those goals - wittingly or not - does not contradict that, and does not make Nazi policy an example of the state policy treading on the bourgeoisie.

>Because it's wartime economics. A means to an end. It's sole purpose was to win the war and they did.
Everything is always means to an end. There is no dialectical process without practice. The question lies in whose means and to what ends.

>(X) doubt. there was no unemployment in the USSR
There was no unemployment because getting fired meant you had powerful bureaucratic mechanisms mechanisms and impetus (resisting the mechanisms if you don't like their options meant losing your housing and social services, and eventually escalated to literally a crime) to assign you a different job, whether you prefer it or not. It was literally just automation of labor market management through bureaucratic processes. It prevent market completion about as much as HR CV sorting algorithms do, USSR just had both very mean and efficient (through their meanness) algorithms, by making them out of people.

>but competition did not exist in the ussr the way it did in the west.
It was quite different in it's implementation, yes.

>Socially you were even looked down on if you made too much money.
Duh. But since when is market competition measured in revenue? I though revenue is a product of succeeding in market competition, and the competition itself happens through customer (in this case the state) giving preference and economic support to the provider of better deals in products or services.

Of course! That was the whole point! The end goal of Imperialist bourgeoisie is not, contrary to American belief, to just be left along and make honest profits. It's to transcend their status as a class. They don't want to be the highest subjects of the law. They aim to be above the law, to become the undisputed dictatorial rulers.

It's to transcend their status as a class. They don't want to be the highest subjects of the law. They aim to be above the law, to become the undisputed dictatorial rulers. NSDAP bourgeoisie did not pursue No Step On The Snek - no big capital ever does, since it always aims to become the only remaining boot capable of stepping on anything, and busy stepping on everyone.

In capitalism, business and government are one. I have never ever denied that. Yes, the bourgeoisie 'made money' under the NSDAP, even though it was never going to last because all of the money the bourgeoisie was making in nazi germany was through deficit spending. Literally phantom wealth. The bourgeoisie was in a better state during the liberal Weimar years than they were during the NSDAP years. Nazi deficit spending and cannibalization of the war economy was precisely a means for waging war against the USSR to steal their grain. That was the plan from the beginning. All of that 'wealth' the bourgeoisie made doesn't account for anything when your economy is oriented towards war production. What is the bourgeoisie going to spend their money on? Tanks?

That is your perspective. The Nazi perspective was that Bolshies were Jewish, Racially inferior, and therefore Evil by nature, not that they were doing "wrong socialism".

Marxism has no right to disguise itself as socialism. Socialism, unlike Marxism, does not repudiate private property. Unlike Marxism, it involves no negation of personality, and unlike Marxism, it is patriotic. We might have called ourselves the Liberal Party. We chose to call ourselves the National Socialists. We are not internationalists. Our socialism is national. We demand the fulfilment of the just claims of the productive classes by the state on the basis of race solidarity.

The point is that he isn’t against Marxism within the framework of materialism, but that he disagrees with the materialist framework itself. When judging his actions within Italy from a strictly materialist position, he does seem socialist, which is correct but flawed because he didn’t agree with that worldview.

TLDR: Mussolini isn’t a socialist but if you interpret his actions as being socialist, you aren’t really wrong within a Marxist worldview.

>workers in the West are MORE exploited than workers in the third world because they create more surplus value
I mean this is literally the case, in terms of the mass of surplus value extracted. but not, nota bene, in terms of the rate of exploitation
a worker using more productive tools will create more value than a worker that doesn't, because they both compete on the same market. the latter is just a wasteful use of labour power
it is also the case that western workers embody more value, because it takes more labour time to reproduce them than the average worker globally, because of imperialism. on the other hand it is almost certainly the case that the rate of exploitation is much higher for third world workers, again due to this difference in the value of labour power.

Just ask a Marxist why they live a country where parties who support the world view do not even hold a seat in office. None of them will give you an answer that's logical.

They're not part of the same class. Someone who works in starbucks does not have the same interest as a factory worker. Even two different kinds of factory workers have different interests. Class being your relationship towards the means of production.

Herebis a hint, if your interests are dialectical—you're not part of the same class!

Define your terms - what are you pointing to when you say "interests" - that's polysemic. If I'm going to argue they do, lets get our terms straight.

yes they are. "working class" doesn't just mean factory workers anon. and as automation increases factory workers become fewer and fewer

So the number of proles decease and the number of bourgeois increase with automation? I agree.

>yeah because the goal of walmart is to maximize profit. this is not the goal of socialists
>it is also the case that western workers embody more value, because it takes more labour time to reproduce them than the average worker globally, because of imperialism. on the other hand it is almost certainly the case that the rate of exploitation is much higher for third world workers, again due to this difference in the value of labour power.
Yawn. I could reply but why bother? You're a kid who has read one book and thinks they know how the world works.

I gave you some reading suggestions. Take a look at them if you want to think for yourself rather than parrot a philosopher who's been dead for 150 years.

I mean CLASS INTEREST anon. It is in the interest of westoids to rely on the bourgeoisie factory owners to get smartphones as cheaply as possible from factory workers in China who in turn rely on another bourgeoisie exploitation of lithium mines. It is in the interests of chinese factory worker that the african working in tbe lithium mine be exploited so they can have a job.
>>19267274
I know it doesn't 'just' mean that I defined it as a relation to the means of production. From top to bottom: consumer is a worker, a distributer is a worker, a manufacturer is a worker, a miner is a worker—but they have OPPOSING interests because of their relationship with the productive forces.

If communists were serious, they would understand that revolution would have to begin from the bottom up and would volunteer their body and soul to overthrow the bourgeoisie who own those lithium mines in Africa. What do so.ycialists in the west do? Distribute welfare for the worst of consumers, leaving the working man in other shitholes in the dust. How is that for "class solidarity"?

There is no 'working class' in the west. There is labor aristocracy.

You said absolutely nothing. You responded to none of my points. I explained to you how their interests oppose one another.
Like I said you already have a war to fight. You have the theory as well. You should be in third world shitholes acting as a labor agitator.

You are no better than succdems. Talking out of your ass.
