Yugoslavia wasn't real socialism. Socialism is a global mode of production wherein production is planned scientifically following the principle of "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs". No money, no states.

Nothing's wrong with socialism. If everyone was a hard working, intelligent and ambitious socialism would be a flawless system. The problem is that most of society is content with enjoying the fruits of the labour of others instead of seeing social programs as merely a safety net.

Uhh, no, that's pretty much the idea of communism as a utopian system achieved after socialism.

Socialism = democratic control over the means of production, worker cooperatives and so on. It would be international though since nationalism goes against the basic principles of socialism.
>>
>>94401718
No, it's what socialism does. What's the point of becoming a doctor when a street sweeper earns just as much as you do? Why work hard to better yourself and your family when your masters have the right to take your belongings and redistribute them as they see fit? Socialism will never work, or at least never in the way it's supposed to. It looks nice on paper, but the reality is different. That's why there's not a society to date that has successful communism.
>>
>>94402303
the distinction between socialism and communism is something Lenin came up with and Stalin fleshed out.
Democratic control over the means of production and coops are already possible within capitalism. The main distinction between socialism/communism and capitalism is the fact that in socialism/communism no "value" (let's just say money for the sake of simplicity) is produced. There is no money to mediate production, things are produced for need and not for exchange.

Well, you see, before people were brainwashed into thinking that nothing they do matters, only the money they get from it does, different people had different interests, proclivities, capabilities, and characters.

It's hard to imagine in this world where everyone is pretty much a carbon copy of each other and the only things that matter in life are what you look like on a uniform 1-10 scale, and how much money you have. But I promise you, humans can be better than that.

>the distinction between socialism and communism is something Lenin came up with and Stalin fleshed out.
ps: It's not something that follows out of Marx's logic laid out in the analysis of capitalism. There is no mode of production "in between" capitalism and communism; only the transitional period of the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat.
>>
>>94398272
It all boils down to information flow. Socialism decreases the efficiency of information flow between humans. Wrong or not up to date information leads to less efficient use of resources.

Your mistake is in taking Marx as the only authority on what socialism means. Marx and Engels were incredible thinkers, but they didn't invent the idea of socialism, and there are types quite distinct from Marxism.

The religious orthodoxy known as Marxism-Leninism is probably the worst thing that happened to socialist theory,
Capitalists don't take Adam Smith as the only economist worth reading, so we should adapt to all the new social realities as well.

The reason why Yugoslavia collapsed was because without a strong authoritarian like Tito holding the country together, there was no one keeping all the ethnicities from killing each other. He's a prime example of the strong authoritarian holding an improbable shitshow together. His particular brand of "Market Socialism" isn't necessarily why Yugoslavia stayed together as long as it did.
>>
>>94405079
Socialism is something that follows out of the analysis of capitalism. If capitalism and socialism are two distinct things than it definitely breaks with whatever capitalism is. So in order to find out what socialism looks like we first have analyize capitalism which is subject to scientific inquiries. Marx, Engels and their successors obviously aren't the only authorities on what socialism means but their work on capitalism & socialism is the most comprehensive and scientific critical theory of society and unless someone comes up with something that's even better in explaining society I'll gladly stick to marxism.

Everything in theory is limited by the real world and how accurately the theory represents the real world. A theory that is fundamentally at odds with the real world is a shit theory. There is a time-lag between implementing theory and theory being proven shit - if you came up with a theory that water is toxic, there's a 2 day lag before you have to drink water without dying of thirst. Here are some problems with Socialism-as-prescribed-by-Marx :

>1 : No Blueprint

It's a theory that should accurately represent the world, meaning it should predict what happens. Marx said "this will happen" and not "I will make this happen" - kinda like how a meteorologist reads the forecast, he's not making it rain physically. Since the theory of a communist government (as opposed to critique of capitalism) is very very vague, and based on certain principles that are not very truthful, there is nothing to physically - no blueprint on how to run a Commie government. Marx believed that it will happen, and that it was the scientific law, kinda like motions of the stars, and was philosophically opposed to any form of talking about that kind of stuff. Blame Hegel who viewed human history as World-Spirit trying to reincarnate himself while overcoming various inherent contradictions and dichotomies. Marxy is just materialistic export of that with WS working on class relations of material economy unlike some vague hippy stuff. So there is no True Real Socialism to implement. The benefit of this is that there is no True Real Socialism to critique.
>>
>>94408090
That's actually a problem with violent revolutions in undeveloped countries, not socialism as such.

If you want an ex-Yu example, the communist party was full of people who have literally never even worn shoes, who suddenly went into cities, and were put on actual important functions because they were good at slaughtering people a mere few weeks or months ago, and had to be taken seriously as political and worse yet cultural figures.

>2 : False concept of class

The liberal idea is of socio-economic class, meaning that economic conditions create social conditions that shape a group. However, this is patently false. It is social and cultural relations that define class conscioussness, and not economic conditions. Case in point are problematic voting patterns of poor Whites in USA - who consistently vote R despite D being more open to gibsmedat. Another case in point are Trump and Duerte. Trump is a rich guy who puts his name on everything, and is defacto an aristocrat. However, because his own unique talking mannerism (he talks like lower classes do, who are more oral than written, and you cannot punctuate his speeches, google Nydwracu's take on this) he culturally imitates lower class whites while being economically distant from them. And cultural conditions create more social cohesions than economic ones. There's a reason Lenininst heresy appeared and Marx has a concept of Lumpenproletariat - because some proles would rather be used as pawns as nationalists, instead of socialists.

You cannot build a society from scratch anymore than you can simulate a human brain - we cannot even simulate a tapeworm ganglia, for example.

>>94409531

>4 : Unprincipled exceptions

Being a faulty position by default, it must operate on series of unprincipled exceptions, that is, a set of imperatives that are not-explicitly liberal (but often implicitly-illiberal) that liberals use to escape the harmful consequences of liberalism without fundamentally questioning it. Socialism is no different.

Take for example, the role of marriage. Marx and E thought to do away with the institutions of marriage and family. Bolsheviks did that. You can read on Wiki that they did away with no-fault divorce (and even that they did not penalize men with alimony and childsupport). The consequences were disastrous. Men divorced older women and chased young girls. Women, who'd rather share a high status man than have a lower status one for herself, did just that. A disbalance of men and women happened, some men getting up to 20 women, some getting none. The Pareto Principle in full action. Result was that degeneracy and alternative lifestyles were embraced by lower status men to escape the implications of their own failing with women - "oh no, I'm gay/trans/asexual, that's why I don't get pussy, not cause I'm a lower status being and thus trash in their eyes". Another part of those men went full beta-rage. However, women by themselves, without support of men, are largely useless and stupid. They do not do jobs men do, that are critical to society. And without men to support them (either through state or through marriage), they fail hard. And they themselves are not attracted to men who support them, a paradox of female's suicidal sexuality gets to them when they're replaced by a younger model. By definition, a higher status man does not emotionally invest - and without wife googles, nothing there to chain a man to a nagging wife. To make matters worse, children of single mothers are worse in everything, as women are incapable of doing even that.

The salvation came in Uncle Joe (Stalin), who criminalized abortion and homosexuality, restored what was for all purposes a traditional model of family, and killed everyone who would say otherwise (which is why Commies had no social science in lieu of today's gender theory). Similar to what Hitler did.

Today, there is a much bigger safety net in USA for feminism to fail hard and instantly, and EU is basically a cultural colony of USA. Back then, Commies panicked and ended up doing a what Church did. That's why you'll occasionally run into commie apologists who are "I support manly macho men like Castro and Stalin, put women back into kitchen and gas the kike".

same people who say yugoslavia and socialism are great and what not are the same people that are the first to leave this place for a life in western capitalism
just like when yugoslavias borders openned for people to get work visas and go to a job in germany
i remember the flood of people and the hype for signing up because they all knew this was a shithole, just like when we also started mass importation of foreign food and our food industry recieved a huge shock because our food choices were really basic and half as good as foreign made foods and people were tired of it

I don't hate my job, and I never implied it.
But it's not all fun and games either.

Why do I do it? You seriously can't imagine the reason?
I do it because it offers concrete career advancement opportunities and a good salary.
Friendly reminder that money = freedom, and nobody likes not being free.

Still, it's much more stressful and demanding than low level jobs like mail delivery or stocking shelves, and if it offered nothing more than that kind of job, I would certainly not do it.

I'd just fuck around with computers in my free time like I did before getting a job.

>5 : A sucky economics

Economy is inherently an anti-inductive science. The more you understand it, the less it is applicable to theory. Imagine a stock market that goes low on Tuesday. Everyone hears that, and rushes to buy on Tuesday. However, since everyone is buying en masse on Tuesday, stocks grow up in price because they are by default in higher demand.

Fundamentally, the problem is the allocation of resources. Under free market, the allocation is darwinistic, where different factories compete for the same resource, and the one more capable of getting it gets it. Because A is profitable and B is not, A has more money to accumulate a resource X, and B now has to shore up more for X (because A wants it too) and it likely fails.

In a planned economy, the system is rigid and inflexible. and a resource for A doesn't get to A. There is a myriad of stories where factory A got too much timber (was more productive on a day) while a farm B didn't get enough of it. The timber just rots in A, and they cannot sell it to B cause that is capitalism.
>>
>>94411563
>money = freedom
But anon, freedom is a basic natural right of a human being.

So if you don't like your job more than you like delivering mail, why would you deliver mail instead?

Could it perhaps be that someone is forcing you to do it after all, by rewarding you with a rather dubious sense of freedom that you should have by default anyway?

Meanwhile, in glorious capitalism, resources are both deliberately and accidentally wasted en masse every single day, including vital resources needed for human survival, such as food, that poor people are forced to watch rot through a wire fence while they starve to death on the other side.

>>94411838
>6: Ideological colonization of science

Certain ideologies are more or less fungible to science. Think of it like a Catholic dogmas - there are things against it, for it, and unrelated to it. A Catholic doesn't care if Mary had blond or red hair, but if a certain denomination of Christcucks thought she was a full blooded negro, their denomination fails when the DNA tests come back in (or just logic it away).

Commie theory is at odds with economy, as outlined in 5, but is also more odds at any hint of anti-proletariat science, which includes genetics and evolution. Lysenkoism is a known example, where anti-Darwinian measures in biology lead to Soviets to losing all genetics (a big fucking thing) and starving by millions. The consequences are disastrous.

Even today, the best countries to live in (bar their current insanity of cryptocommunism) are those who embraced cold capitalism, while socialism (who got its perks by supposedly being "for the people") was so fucking inhumane that it had to evolve a strain called "socialism with human face".

Freedom to do what?

Enough money grants you the freedom to do pretty much anything.

Freedom to own that cabin innawoods you always wanted after seeing it in a /comfy/ thread.
Freedom to take a vacation to the other side of the world whenever you feel like it.
Freedom to own a nice car.
Freedom to change your phone every 6 months, or to not do that.
Freedom to eat some really great food at a fancy restaurant.

Do you honestly believe that EVERY SINGLE PERSON should have this much freedom "as a basic natural right"?
You do realize that it would be completely impossible to give everyone an upper class lifestyle, right?
Who would repair roads if everyone could afford to stop working whenever they feel like it?
Who would keep the power grid up?

>Could it perhaps be that someone is forcing you to do it after all

No, no one is forcing me to do anything.
If I wanted to switch to delivering mail tomorrow I could, but it is incredibly naive to expect the same compensation for a job that could be done by a 10 years old kid if it weren't illegal.

They say capitalism is retarded because it is based on an axiom of infinite growth.

Well, socialism is retarded because it is based on the axiom that we ALREADY HAVE infinite resources.

Basically, people serve their own interests over the common good. This means that the system is very prone to abuse as well as deincentivizing improvement in the workplace (many people barely feel attachment to their job).

>Socialism does that, doesnt it?
Communism does, and all authoritarian rule over too many people at once does. Because people are obviously much easier to govern in lumps instead individually, so you come to these dehumanizing shortcuts where you turn people into these amorphous blobs.

For an example of this, look at how people have been polarized in America, where if you support one political party, you're supposed to hold this one exact set of opinions, and if you support the other, you're supposed to hold this other set. And they've done it along racial lines too.


>>94413062

Surely that is not because in glorious capitalism it has all been sold to criminals for $1, and then they resold it to foreigners for their own profit a few years later. It also has nothing to do with the interest and meddling of foreign capitalist countries.

Without motivation to excel, people will do the bare minimum. Why work hard when you could get the same result slacking.

No, and that's precisely the fucking point.

If you want to live in a Manhattan penthouse you have to provide something of equal value to the people, be it in the form of running a business that produces physical goods that people want, by providing a service that they want, or even (god forbid!) by lending your capital to people who need to do the above.


If you don't want to apply yourself and/or take risks, you can live an average life and there's nothing wrong with that.

This is stupid as it does not differentiate between First World (Capitalism), Second World (Communism), Third Word (Neither). Most starvation occurred in Third Word which was a shithole filled by niggers. Show me where exactly in Western Europe and USA, in a time period of 1700 to 1900 was a mass starvation not resulting in a war.

Oh and a sidenote, when Socialist Somalia failed and turned into a lawless shithole it is today, HDI went up, not down.
>>
>>94398272

Two main problems:

1) The numbers simply don't add up. Price determinations and labor allocation in a socialist economy are completely arbitrary and therefore too inefficient to be self-sustaining in the long term. Ergo, Venezuela.

This problem could be overcome by a powerful enough AI that could run calculations to simulate a capitalist economy in the background and set prices and allocate labor that way, but we don't have a machine powerful enough to replicate the trillions of cost/benefit decisions human beings make every day in real time that determine market parameters.

2) At the core of it, when you strip away land and capital, people themselves are the means of production. Socialism therefore asserts that you have a right to another man's labor; in effect, everyone is made a slave of society.

Again, circumvented by labor robots doing everything for us, but we're not there yet.

Socialism works in Star Trek and not our current world for very definable reasons. Give it 200 years or so and call back.

Which in effect, when you think about it, is still capitalism.

It's just that in capitalism you have to work for money.
In glorious socialism you work for invisible freedumz points that keep you from going to the gulag.

It's the same damn thing, but it doesn't work nearly as well because it has a negative connotation to it and people notoriously react better to positive incentives rather than punishments.

The problem here under socialism they stop helping the crazies and instead let them run rampant assault and steal while telling the ordinary people and the police that they have to just accept it.

Want to see what socialist governments do with the mentally ill look up "east hastings street" under the previous governments those people were all in mental hospitals getting helped. Many of them even came out of those hospitals normal. But the socialist NDP closed all the mental hospitals because it was "discrimination" to put "different" people in them. Now instead of getting help they steal from people and sell the stolen goods in the streets

They then told us we had to be accepting of crazies/drug addicts etc

Now that the socialists are out of power and dine their damage we don't have the money anymore to get these people the help that we used to give them and so all we can do is send police down there with assault rifles to try and keep them contained

Do you see what I'm getting at? If you can convince the majority into such things, then obviously it's the sociopaths that are the problem.

So you'd either have to have a society that makes the machinations of sociopaths not worth it (socialism - which they of course in practice still subvert in various ways), or a society that's literally a sociopath's wet dream i.e. Randian capitalism.

At best, the result of socialism is merely stagnation.

All the more likely, socialism merely stands as a stepping stone to communism and communism leads to mass starvation and death.

More people have died due to communism than anything else, and Stalin's rule resulted in far, far more death than Hitler's.

Because shitty food isn't really shitty, it's just that we evolved in an environment where starvation was a bigger risk than gluttony. Historically, lack of sugar was a greater problem than abundance of it, which is why you like it now.

What you're not getting is that socialism aims to create an equality of outcome, while capitalism aims to create an equality of opportunity.

The former is just stupid because different people have different needs.
I'm perfectly fine driving a 20 years old car if it saves me 15000€ over buying a new one.
I can use that money for something else that I value more.

Some people are content living in a small flat in a city forever, close to their friends and family. These people can choose to work part time and only earn as much money as they need.

I'm not. I'm living in my current house for as long as it takes me to save enough money, then I'm moving to the countryside. I've already eyed a property that I want to buy and renovate over time.
I'll rent out the first house as soon as I move, to help pay the bills so that I can work less.

Investment, get it? Work harder now, so that I can work half as much in 15 years.

That's what I was getting at at the beginning, on the surface it would appear that the only things that you can't convince people to do are good things, and the only things that you can convince people to do are bad things.

So, should we come to the conclusion that human beings are naturally malevolent towards themselves and other? Are human beings literally evil?

That's terrible, of course it doesn't. Even if you tried, it would be impossible.

Well, are you? We'd have to look at the figures to determine that. Everyone knows in their hearts what a fair price for something is, people aren't stupid. Everything beyond that is just rationalization and obfuscation of the fact that someone's being fucked over.

No, this was absolutism, reaction, the ur-right, however you want to call it.

Central to the position of it is that there is no such thing as Private Property, there is Property of the Crown which delegates (rents) property to people in form of Secondary Property. Reactionary position is that there is no such things as Rights as anterior to the society, and it is the State itself that creates those Rights. The leftist position is that certain Rights come anterior to the State, and must be obliged if the State is to be Valid(TM). One such right is the right to own property.

When Marx says abolish Private Property he implicitly says that Private Property exists. He is an extension of the physiocrat (and thus liberal) notion that only those who till the field should own it. He asks the bourgeois the same question liberals asked the Crown : "If you own it, but do not work, why do you own it?" to conclude that they shouldn't own it.

Notice that I'm not defending capitalism, but shitting on communism. The best form of government is reactionary absolutism which practices State Capitalism which ensure the the engine of economy is intact, but that that very engine does not blow up in its face. Kinda like Fascist who allowed Capitalism if it did not harm the State (or Race in NatSoc mythology).

You know that this is a dumb statement and that less than 1% of people in our countries actaully have the money and knowladge to start their own bussines. Not to mention that intrest rates for banks especially here in Serbia (as i work for a bank) are high, and especailly for a start up who doesent have a lot of profit in the beginning.

The Chicago school of economics you are advocating for is a decent system in countries that are already developed like America. That just can't work here because of the insane amount of regulations and "red tape" it takes to start a business.

No, they aren't evil, but they are egoistic. There's a diference.

Which is the basis of the free market.

If I tried to price my house at 1000€/month nobody would rent it, because as you put it "people aren't stupid".

I will also not price it at 100€/month, because I ain't stupid either.

Therefore, with this simple example we can illustrate that the "fair price" can only be determined by the free market.
Nobody can set the "fair price" of a good better than the people who are selling and buying it.

Giving the state more power isnt always bad. If the state isnt corrupt and the people at the top know what they are doing the economy can recover.

To fix our economies the state should invest in building factories, mines etc. that over time get a better reputation and gain more and more profit which it sells to a pricate holder (preferably domestic) and gains its money back and it doesnt risk loosing money anymore.

Here that is impossible because as soon as a new bussines open out corrupt politicians hire their son in laws, brothers and friend who barely finished high school.

A regime founded by lies is inherently unstable. If the Duke's Duke by the virtue of Divine Right, all is well. If the Duke's Duke by virtue of social contract and mere chance, question is asked why's he a Duke and I am not?

If comrade Tito is a champion of Proletariat, the question that's asked is "why's Tito drudging in his yacht with bitches while I'm semi-starving"? To note a hypocrisy in such a regime is disastrous for such a regime, and thus this kind of regime is inherently tyrannical. Look up Havel's greengrocer.

Undeveloped. Marxist dialectics is as follows : 1) Primitive, 2) Capitalism, 3) Communism. You can't blame stage 2 for stage 1, especially since your theory is that any stage is direct contradition to prior and it's direct cure.

Capitalism relies more on growth, the world resource cap is an even bigger issue under pure capitalism.

The problem with socialism is that it outlaws freedom. Any sort of system that disallows free men from making their own choices is complete garbage. To put it frankly, you're a giant faggot if you think you have the right to make decisions for other people.

Socialism is also inherently flawed. They seek to limit a monopoly of power by a few individuals...by creating a monopoly of power (government) that is ran by even fewer individuals. Socialist writing does a good job pointing out problems in society, but offers solutions that make things way worse.

I do not mind people getting together and voluntarily living in communes dedicated to socialist ideals. In fact, I think those micro-societies could thrive. However, when you force the entire population of a state to bow to the state, it opens the doors for corruption, inefficiency, and injustice.

>moral relativism
Whether or not this is objectionable depends on how it is interpreted.

Say we accept that there is no such thing as universal moral truths, such as, 'x' is bad. We can go anywhere from here.

The people I think you thought of are those who use their belief in the nonexistence of objective moral facts as a reason to be permissive of any sort of behavior. They think, "We cannot judge or punish 'x' (imagine x as female circumcision, Islam, etc), because there is no basis for moral judgement." But that presupposes that a basis is necessary to make a moral judgement, in contradiction to their belief in the nonexistence of objective moral facts.

Every time we judge something as good or bad, we consciously or unconsciously assert our own values, revealing ourselves to the world. Others can then judge if there is a compatibility: if there is something to be gained from cooperation, that is, mutually beneficial interaction. If there is nothing to be gained, if the difference is so extreme that negotiation (i.e. morality) is impossible, you are simply in a state of war.

All we need to do is be comfortable with the idea that, at its basis, every moral judgement we make is an assertion, to be fearless and confident in our assertions. The meek invent God and the categorical imperative, as to them, freedom is more of a burden than submission.

Discomfort reduction

Alternatively, victim derogation and other strategies may only be ways to alleviate discomfort after viewing suffering. This would mean that the primary motivation is not to restore a belief in a just world, but to reduce discomfort caused by empathizing. Studies have shown that victim derogation does not suppress subsequent helping activity and that empathizing with the victim plays a large role when assigning blame. According to Ervin Staub,[15] devaluing the victim should lead to lesser compensation if restoring belief in a just world was the primary motive; instead, there is virtually no difference in compensation amounts whether the compensation precedes or follows devaluation. Psychopathy has also been linked to the lack of just-world maintaining strategies, possibly due to dampened emotional reactions and lack of empathy.[16]
