Sure this is true but just as with capitalism there are many forms of Communism, Communism may evolve just as capitalism has evolved over time into a more stable form of government, so It would be ignorant to say that communism doesn't work definitively

Communism has failed only in that it has never been achieved. Karl Marx argued that, in the beginning, a communist revolution would result in a dictatorship of the proletariat, and that this dictatorship would ultimately seek to destroy itself and establish communism. This period in between, in which the new dictatorship establishes communism is socialism. A communist society is ultimately stateless. People make fun of the "not real communism" thing, but those societies literally aren't real communism-- they don't fit necessary conditions to be considered communist. The people don't have the power, the workers do not own the means of production.
There is a crucial and absolutely legitimate criticism of communism that this image brings up, but it isn't that communism has always failed, it is that the great communist philosophers and revolutionaries have yet to establish a legitimate way of achieving communism. Dictators will never relinquish power, even talking about doing so will result in their replacement by even more brutal and totalitarian leaders. The transition from socialism to communism is impossible.

there were scores of different factions in Spain in the years prior to WWII. but the system didn't crumble because "it didn't work", but because Soviets sabotaged it from within, and Franco won the civil war with Axis support.

The "currency" of "real existing communism" was connections and status within the party. If you had "currency" you had more stuff, which was an unfair system to begin with.

Secondly, "real existing communism" never got around the fact, that if you want free reign of resources, you have to accept that certain goods are limited, and limitation causes arbitrary price hikes.

i occasionally ask hard socialists how to solve the problem of having 10 houses on the beach but 100 people wanting to live there. most of them think about it for a minute or so and all of them refuse to give a believable answer.

it will be, when you create a machine that can produce 99% of the goods in your house, from waste or dark energy or something thats abundant in the universe like solar energy. at that point the only thing you really need is someone to leave you alone on your place on the planet of your choosing. the only reason to work would be to advance yourself or the group your are with. you even don't need top on leaders, because their main job isn't anymore to divide and decide access to critical resources.

(They are able to do this because of the genocide of 100,000,000 people in the Western hemisphere, btw) Commies beat Hitler, not capitalists. Communism and socialism put men into space and on the moon (NASA is a socialist org btw). Why does Cuba have better health care than US despite a world empire trying to destroy them?

You need to take the basic idea of Communism (workers own the means of production) and instead of having it run by a totalitarian dictatorship, have it run by a confederacy of decentralized local democracies.

Pretty easy.

Don't know where that number came from, the most reasonable estimates are around 3-4 million. 16.5 million is as pretty absurd figure.

>>730968441
we already have this. people running into the cities, and you could tell them to live somewhere else, where housing isn't so expensive. but there are jobs and there is infrastructure, so they wont leave, but pay insane rent. if this would be so easy to build more houses, 30 big cities of the world, including China that is now building 10 new cities around Peking because even them couldn't get People to move.

Sub-Saharan Africa,for example,was a hostile shithole for thousands of years.Cultures appeared and disappeared long before any significant eurofag involvement.

If you look at the map of the world, everywhere around the Equator nothing really worked for centuries. It takes a moderate climate to realistically build a society. Even the higher temperatures in Italy's south show a sharp difference between the northern industries that make up 65% of GDP. Lots of countries have either too much heath or constantly rain and humidity.

Fucking lold. Ethiopia was a goddamn empire before Europe intervened. Africa is a shithole because of colonialism, denying this is an attestment of retardation.

One unfortunate by-product of capitalism is the us-vs-them frame of mind foisted on everyone. H. G. Wells pressaged this with his Eloi and Morlocks in The Time Machine.

Under capitalism the Haves are good people and the Have-Nots are dangerous. Haves are allowed to do whatever they want, even diddle little children in group outings, because they are pillars of the community who create jobs for others. The Have-Nots who don't have jobs are ungrateful and mentally unbalanced.

Anytime you force a continuum into two columns you're going to create a lot of consequences that are violent both psychologically and physically. You're also artificially limiting the progress of mankind by restricting leisure to a small minority.

This thread will expire before I can explain.

But I shall try.
The soviet system created a 3 tier pay grade. There was the executives, paid the most. Then the engineers, scientists, achitects, etc.. They were paid in the middle. Then there was the lowest paid workers.
>>
>>730979293
The money was supposed to be used as mere markers - for accounting purposes. The average worker was supposed have enough to pay for all basic needs. In fact, there was some argument within the Kremlin whether the top tier was even necessary. But as you can image, this was squashed quickly enough.

Now a pair of jeans in the soviet union cost only $1. And the soviets paid spies to steal trade secrets from western jean companies. So their jeans were stitched as well as western jeans.

>>730979647
Interesting.. go on
>>
>>730979647
Starting in the early 60s, scientists were already noticing a decline in production. There were plenty of reasons. But the decline was mostly due to every new leader calling for a retooling of the entire industrial complex to suit his own desires. As you know, they went through quite a few leaders - each one having an ego enough that they had to make their mark on the soviet industrial complex. This led to major inefficiencies throughout the system. But this decline was only a part of what was happening. There were ways of handling such declines. They would have survived it.
>>
>>730979984
Now here's what they never imagined. Something that completely blindsided them.

While a perfectly good pair of jeans was only $1, the youth often didn't buy any. Instead they were importing jeans from the west, through the gray or black markets.
These jeans would often be used, tatters, in ANY condition. And they would cost upward to an entire months pay. And yet the soviet youth gladly paid.

>>730979293
You are dead wrong, kid: if you were, for example, a miner who had to put your life at risk you earned more money than engineers did.

Despite the high prices for black market clothing, the youth would often sacrifice almost everything to get them. Even starving themselves and failing to pay rent. And later, when the soviets outlawed the clothing, often risked jail time to buy these clothes.

Yet, the Soviets never asked why these clothes were so important to their youth. And it was only their young adults...

At night, you would see clubs filled with young adults - all showing off their western clothing. And this was the key to the fall of the soviet union. While the soviets produced clothes by the thousands, they sat on their shelves and warehouses unbought, unused, while their young adults were throwing every penny they had at western clothing... so they could differentiate themselves at clubs.

Why? Because that's how humans practice our mating rituals. We show wealth, we show style and taste and differentiate ourselves conspicuously. Any system that does not cater to our mating rituals is doomed to fail. The soviets tried to suppress this. And it only led to their young adults taking even more risks, and more expense, to continue the mating rituals.

In the end, over 250 billion rubles left the soviet economy due to the gray and black markets. That was essentially 15% of their entire monetary reserves at the time. In comparison, Goldman Sachs swindled them of a mere 35 billion rubles. And the Reagan Administration called them heroes. They tried to replace the lost rubles, but that only devalued it. They could control costs inside the country, but they could not manage the sagging value externally. This led to a downward spiral of their entire monetary system.

To compare, the loss of productivity from 1970 to the first days of Glasnost amounted to 12.5%, according to economic post mortems. The black and gray market accounted for another 15% of economic losses, while their war in Afghanistan cost them a mere 2% of GDP.
As you can see, the black markets were more significant than any other factor. And it was fueled almost entirely by a desire to practice human mating rituals as we have done for hundreds of thousands of years.

It is the need to differentiate ourselves for our mating rituals that drove people to see out novelty while rejecting perfectly good material at far cheaper prices. This led to a massive loss to their economy - a loss their system was never meant to take. Blindsided, they doubled down on oppression, which only fueled unrest, while their efforts to replace the money crashed their economic system.

Communism relies on efficiencies to work. So when you have egos retooling everything, a production system that does not cater to the human need to practice our mating rituals, and finally, a bunch of ill advised measures to restore the system.... they simply dropped below the efficiency threshold necessary to maintain a communist economic system. And it fell apart, as you saw.

As soon as I retired at 60, I undertook the study of macro-economics. Public education did not prepare me. I spent a productive life believing what can only be described as dogma.
I would recommend 'the dismal science' to everybody. Half the worlds problems would not exist if 1 semester of macro-economics was mandatory.
