Just wondering what you all think.
(Posted previously but 404'd quickly, last attempt)
So /pol, in my opinion when it comes to economics, Workers should own the means of production, they should cooperatively decide the way in which goods/services are produced and distributed, and there should not be hierarchy in our economic model. So I would advocate for a communist economy. HOWEVER, as I understand it, cultural Marxism has caused societal degradation. Whether it's the transgender agenda, African reparations, mass immigration, etc. I cant seem to agree with other modern so-called 'communists' on many social issues. So where does this put me? Is this 'national bolshevism'? When I research that it seems to be Russia centric, and im not completely in agreement with the few policies I've found. Should I not be looking for a label/party to align myself with or is there something I'm missing?
Thanks for any help!

Eh, figured it was worth a shot. Just trying to explore ideas.
Fuck it. Bump.

Good in thought, bad in practice, though I do like Corbyn's idea of giving the workers the right of first refusal, that is, first bid with a government loan to buy a corporation that is laying people off, closing up or going over seas to minimize the social cost (crime, mental illness etc) that comes from unemployment.
>they should cooperatively decide the way in which goods/services are produced and distributed,
Terrible idea. The average labourer has no clue how to do any of that stuff, at best they could bring in marketing contractors to advise and direct ad campaigns etc - and vote on which ones to hire. It requires specialized skill and knowledge.
>and there should not be hierarchy in our economic model.
This is impossible there will always be people who will be more productive in some spheres than others, they should be rewarded proportionally to encourage less productive people to go where they can be more productive, and productive people to stay where they're at. This would form a hierarchy.

Agreed.

Undermining and abolishing religion was one of Marx's initial goals which would have caused all this to manifest anyway.

Arguably you could be an orthodox marxist but are probably too young to grasp the concepts. They hate identity politics.
>Should I not be looking for a label/party to align myself with or is there something I'm missing?
Marxism is a shitshow. Stop looking at their goals, and look at their methods and results - and figure out without using the word "America" why they have failed.

Yeah, mass-scale agreement is retarded.
We already have a way which we co-operate with each other, it's called prices.
And yeah, good luck getting 16 year old Johnny to work part-time at a pizza parlour when he needs to spend $50k to be able to "collectively own" it.
