>libertarian communism
how does that work?
>>743555317
Not all communism is Stalinism, anon
>>743555399
i still stand unanswered; explain how you can be libertarian and communist at the same time
>>743555534
Communism-No hierarchies
Libertarian- No concentration of power
That's what I roll by at least, I can guarantee you use different definitions, which is where my first response comes in.
>>743555385
my nigga
>>743555647
how is this enforced tho?
communism disregards human interest and thats why it fails and requires a large state to enforce, which kills the libertarian argument.
>>743555647
>Libertarianism: limited state intervention
>Communism: all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.
How will the "communism" part be enforced?
>>743555863
It's not enforced, that's just the thing. Communism, despite the last few decades doesn't automatically equal police state.
>>743555534
eliminated hierarchies with public ownership of industry. the bottom left quadrant of the political compass. taken to the extreme, anarcho-communism.
>>743555923
I'm >>743555992
btw
The whole wage system that exists in capitalism plus a literal interpretation of Marx doesn't really fit what I believe to be honest, its just a label, after all.
>>743556067
define: "public ownership"
how is this stable without a heavy handed central power enforcing it?
>>743556175
easy, the people who use it, decide how its used, who gets it etc.
It's the whole corporate structuring that "steals labor" that doesn't really sit with me.
>>743556175
it does require people to want the system. in a less extreme version than anarchocommunism, things like hospitals and power plants are operated by the government for the good of all. enforcement wouldn't really be needed besides stuff like police to prevent armed takeover of the power plants and shit
>>743556341
steals labor? you mean the labor thats done under an agreed contract between the worker and the owner?
>>743556341
so how do such industries start and promulgate?
if a few people start an industry, and more people work at it if it becomes successful.. do they have less say, even tho they started it from the beginning with their own capital? because that hardly sounds fair.
>>743556412
Socialism doesn't really see it as an agreement between the owner/worker, but rather that of worker/society, that you either accept that your labor is stolen, or you starve to death.
>>743556508
No, they decide who works there, and if they need managers, they can vote on who they want, and even then, haggle with the managers for the managers wages, rather than the decision being top-down.
>>743555472
oh theres the nazi
>>743556508
why would a few people need to amass large amounts of capital to start an enterprise? you're still thinking capitalism get you brain outside that box.
>>743556523
how exactly is the labor "stolen"?
>>743556630
>fundamentalism is national socialism
off yourself you fucking retard
>>743556654
dey durk ur durbs!!!!
>>743556645
so the money just comes out of thin air?
you start a company with nothing? really??? what economics is this?
math is math dude.
>>743556654
surplus value, as more money is moved up the hierarchy, the people at the bottom get less and less.
It's an efficient machine, sure, but labor exists independently of capital, but not the other way around.
>>743556615
what incentive is there for anyone to start anything then?
if i get the same as everyone else, even tho i bust my ass to get it going.. why bother?
>>743555317
anarchy anon, learn politics
>>743556775
Because you get to decide who you share it with, and if you want a bigger cut, your organization can vote on it. Obviously if you're pulling you're weight, you're going to get more. If you aren't, and your fellow workers get greedy and lazy, their organization will fail.
This is where a lot of communists would say I'm not a communist, but I believe socialism can exist WITH market forces, rather than a needs/gift economy.
Average intelligent score
>>743556906
We need to socialize as much as possible before the majority of jobs are more profitable using automation. If not the common man is fucked.

Unless universal income is put in place they won't even have a market and we'll all go down. It'll either be the modern equivalent of sharecropping or a communist uprising.

>>743557463
I don't really agree with UBI, or any welfare for that matter, as a weird-sort of socialist.
>>743557385
it means you believe in Social Liberlism. Ie you probably voted Sanders
That was fun thanks op! Back to masturbating
>>743557564
Until now it's been a waste of money save for single parents as supplementary income. It'll be a necessity when the majority of the public doesn't have jobs
>>743557162
Whaddup
Fashy goy here.
>>743557673
I wanna say its time to start with the socialism, but it has a horrible stigma, the capitalists are in control, most socialists are embarrassing humans, and most workers still think it means they have to share their toothbrushes. It's depressing, and its often what leads to radicalization.

Questions were pretty vague on their implications. Had I had specific examples it would probably be higher
>>743554414
Apparently I'm a pretty solid centrist, with a very slight favoring of nation over world (slightly right) and progress over tradition (slightly left).

I hope ill live to see the day people abandon gouvernments and actually try to live in a free society without someone deciding over their heads.
Whenever i speak to people about democracy they believe they are able to make better decisions than the people around them. Why put someone above you then? Just decide for yourselfs.
>>743558328
One that made me hesitate was "Should taxes be increased on the rich to provide for the poor?"
I think taxes should be increased on the rich, but not specifically to provide for the poor. Rather, to support poorly funded federal programs that I personally value, like nature conservation.
>>743558477
While I trust my particular circle, I don't necessarily trust someone else's particular circle. In a self-governing system, the system with the most power (people, technology, tactics) has authority. In an overhead system, my circle might not be able to rise above others, but the circle that I actively distrust can't have authority over mine even if they have the means to overpower me.
I just did a google search of socialism libertarian and I found out it meant left libertarian, WHICH also includes anarchism.
Which I'm already fully aware of. Cool.

You have a problem with me wanting humans to advance as a species and cooperate? That's the sole element that makes us stronger, if we don't cooperate we lose the benefit of specialization. The technology you are using is the culmination of decades of individuals work. Nobody knows how to "make" a computer, there are hundreds of people with different specialties working to manufacture it. If you don't support progress then you're a lost cause and will never achieve anything of lasting worth. Who will remember you 100 years after you die? Nobody, but people remember Edison, Faraday, Einstein etc because they helped human achievement

>>743556341
Marx's theory of surplus value is based on the defunct Ricardian labor theory of value. The value of something isn't determined by the labor embodied within it, it's determined by the aggregate subjective valuations of all participants within said market.
Employers don't steal value from their workers, they can't without legal slavery. Even if they did pay them a wage that's below their output, some other firm would be strictly incentivized to offer a higher wage for the same output.
Employers allow employees to use their capital to create goods and then they both get rents that are extradeterministic. So, how exactly is this bad for workers who otherwise would not be able to access the market and capitalize on their labor?
Does this mean I'm a faggot now or something?

Ask yourself why that is. Why does an engineer earn more than a Cleaner? Because he can demand more since there is less supply of engineers than there is of people able to clean a toilette.
If you suck at your job or are easily replaced by someone else you are pretty much fucked in every system.
"Yes Man" ending
>>743556067
The moment you have a division of labor and specialization there will be a hierarchy.
The top three, there's room for intelligent disagreement.
If you're more than 20% Tradition, you're a fucktard, and why are you on a place like 4chan?

>>743554414
You can be capitalist and still want equality. The equal right to pursue good ideas. Free Markets not Monopolies who hide behind patents.
You can be a nationalist who believes that borders allow for isolation of new ideas (like the USA) which benefits the whole world.
You can believe in liberty through law. Some laws prevents others from taking your liberty.
And you can hold traditional values like peer-review is a good way to do science (despite being less and less common and more and more fraudulent), while still wanting to progress.
This test is garbage, intended only to keep you from the truth

the quiz seems to be left lean biased to me.

I noticed that.
((Who)) designed it, I wonder...
>>743565842
Ask yourself why someone would outsource a factory job. Exactly taxes and cost of manufacturing the product. Thank the state not the privatier.

Bash the fash lately?
>>743566538
Yes some of the questions imply there is only one political viewpoint that can answer i agree.
I do believe everyone should have the best life possible and i am libertarian, yet the test would count i agree as me being left winged.
Being left wing is like using meth responsibly, one slip and you've gone insane.
