Social Security, Medicare, Affordable Care Act.. all are socialist policies. Actually the majority of things we pay for in this country can be constituted as socialism. However America's political juggernaught is of course Captialism which is now in a post Capitalistic spiral where Marxism/ Socialism/ Communism would be the only next step based on my above average knowledge of political philosophies of the world.

Based on the struggles of the working class and their disconnection from their work and ultimate worth in life.. eventually a revolution/revolt will occur which will morph into a form of socialism where the working class takes back their land and production for the people. However as mentioned this has never worked out the best in practice, the concept is pretty sound and its inevitability. Capitalism is not sustainable sorry /b

Socialism is where workers own the means of production.

Communism:
Economic and social system in which all (or nearly all) property and resources are collectively owned by a classless society.

Social Democracy: economic ideology that supports economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a capitalist economy, as well as a policy regime involving a commitment to representative democracy, measures for income redistribution and regulation of the economy in the general interest and welfare state provisions. Bernie sanders falls under this.
>>

Corporatism is not sustainable. A true free market can facilitate the freedom to the worker you wish for without the inherent slavery and theft that socialism brings. Das Capital is a dreadful study on economics like ignoring the place of demand in 'supply & demand'.

Over a much longer time frame in a lot more of the world than socialism has managed, if socialism was global for a longer period of time then the death toll would be greater. Furthermore colonialism is not capitalism it's still state control of the lands and means of production with a little of it going to private elites, not a free market.

Nice to see some heavy thinkers on here. Great points however the sustainability I am alluding to is the great fundamental differences of Democracy and Capitalism when interwoven as one, it will unravel as one. (Will they say the great Anon minds on B envisioned the next great society?) ehh anyways... The populace believes we are in control through the votes we place every year, two or four... however Capitalism is driven by corporations which are driven by profit, at any cost even destruction of our nation, profit reigns above Jesus himself. The Board of Directors control the corporations and the shareholders of those corporations control the votes the Boards make. If essentially business is the only driving factor of commerce, and the richer you are the more shares/votes you possess that is going to crash into the weak minded Joe who believes the guy hes voting for is actually going to help him.

I have, it's a great counter point to Keynesian economics. Which is why it fails because Keynesian economics is complete bullshit. I don't think it acknowledged the place that demand has in a free market adequately and assumes supply can be maintained to outpace demand which it can't for all supplies. It also tramples on any concept of individual rights for the good of society whilst forgetting that a society is a group of individuals, that dichotomy is one of the many reasons it isn't a maintainable system prone to abuse.

except it was somewhat successfully applied
to stabilize capitalism after the great depression. the demand in a free capitalist market is as marx points out proportional to the wages of the workers. supply and demand just one way of measuring values in an economy, they are not as some people think "rules of how the economy works". as for society vs individuals, marxism is very collectivistic but marx himself wasnt

Bring it! The rich have socialism already in massive tax rebates for corporations. Then they tell us its a bad thing because it will lead to, gasp, tyranny and inequality. But more likely it would mean a more equal distribution of the wealth. More resources for working people. Any ideology that the corporate media spend so much time attacking has got to be worth thinking about.

Things like shareholders and boards are a result of government trying to regulate free markets. Whilst shareholders may have a place in a free market they belong more in an area of providing a loan in return for a share of the profits, not as some sort of God that the board bow to. I agree about the heavy thinkers, it's a relief to see some socialists around these days thinking of more than 'hur-dur muh free stuff', unfortunately that's how a lot of people will approach socialism. From my perspective a more libertarian society can afford the space for people to choose to either live communally or break out in their own, whilst not allowing for a corrupt governing body to just ruin shit for everyone.

I'm pretty sure it speaks for itself: you cannot sustain a country that will be as advanced as others when you have a failing reward system.
People need to be motivated by something, anything, in order to work more than just to survive.
Whatever you may think, pure capitalism pushes people to find more ingenious ways to make money, and that often means innovation. Of could, pure capitalism is stupid as shit and has problem of its own, hence why you can't have a sustained system.

In my country there are 26 million people. The labour force is 12 million. The people who can vote outnumber the people who have to work and pay tax. The people who don't pay tax want more benefits so they tax the people who work more.

Tell me how this is moral? Tell me how you justify the slavery of the working class to keep your socialist policies running

Controlled economies don't count. Socialism kills by direct policy of death and class starvation, imprisonment and purges. Capitalism kills through the individual being too pathetic to compete in the market. Individuals who can't compete can get better - usually before death. We built a safety net for those people long ago.
>>
>>752537856
I'd disagree there, short term Keynes ideas work out but more bailouts and state investment end up being required until it turns in to behemoth that leads to further recessions/depressions. On Marx/Marxism and individuality I suspect this would be due to a view from Marx that he's an individual amongst sheep, which is just my guess and not something I can solidly back up, I think that lead to his approach of treating a group of individuals as a singular social unit. >>752538391

Every type of government sucks ass.

Anarchism is probably the best in theory, you could just localize different governments in the same country. At least that way you have a choice what kind of rule you want. If you want to live in a monarchy or a theocracy, in an anarchist state you can.

However, the issue I can't see the solution to is, how the hell do you solve civil disputes? Say you go to the hospital in an anarchist state. Perhaps you have insurance, doesn't really matter. The hospital takes one of your kidneys without consent. How do you sue the hospital unless you both acknowledge a higher authority?

I think the best type of government theoretically might be a dictatorship. You simply need the correct dictator. Someone that values freedom and low taxes. It's the most efficient, there's no bureaucracy.

But.. power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. So back we are to democracy and once you concede democracy, you need social programs.

So.. Socialism, in spite of how incredibly inefficient it is, it might just be a necessary evil for civilization to work.

keynes economic ideas do work out in the short term but thats the only way they are fully implemented. there are not supposed to be any bailouts once the economy is runing "itself" state investments as infrastructure or defense do cost a lot but they can be used as a way to stimulate the rest of the economy and covering the costs with increased taxes (volume, not %)

Let me red pill you guys a bit. Take a look at Americas military. You join it, you are provided a job, training, schooling, housing, retirement, ect....that in its self is socialism. The government is providing almost every aspect in life for you. So for Americans to be so against the socialized concept of governing, they don't even realize they are living under it. Don't get hung up on societal concepts of government and believe this is better then that cause it's all a form of control either way.
I foresee the future to turn into robot workers taking jobs away from the people and the people being put on universal basic income. While the company's who use the robots will be paying our taxes, we will be able to sit home and collect the paycheck. Can you imagine the implications here?

There are two definitions of socialism just like two unit systems(mertic and retarded). So, for most of the world socialism is shity economical system that fails evry time. For USA it is not being entusiastic about corporations fucking you in the ass.

Real socialism hasn't been used and can't exist because it fails to account for the failure of mankind; ergo, it is impossible to enact it the real world. Now how about you start thinking about government systems that are actually worth a damn.

Hey OP, thanks for asking, mate. In my opinion the idea behind socialism is very unique and wonderful, imagine a world where you can get medical care, education. Where you have the power to influence governmental decisions. Where you don't have to worry, in case you lose your work.

Unfortunately the world hasn't seen a nice implementation of socialism, instead everything communistic/socialistic turned in a dictatorship, where people couldn't express themselves freely. And it's a pity, I myself sincerely believe that there is a way to have communism/socialism around, without usurpation, discrimination and with legal weed.

Thank you for your attention, sir. Have a great day!

it most certainly is not

its not capitalism either but it is a major component of the state that protects capitalism with that same military. it is not a productive organisation but they do consume a lot of goods from the private sector and have a great impact on the economy. if the government owned factories that made guns for the military, that would be closer to socialism. training, schooling and retirement does not make it socialism, its just a type of wage
>>
>>752543372
Well yea this sort of thing happens already, minus the robots. You can still work and collect, if you can find a job that isn't being done by robots. The implications here is to get rid of the poor, poverty. Everybody has their taxes paid and some. You'll have extra money to buy new cars and live in better places. Own homes. But shit you don't need and the economy will fucking explode with fuck tone of wealth. Now. Go back inside your head and think of the implications thoroughly and come back and express your opinion on what the future might be like. Or are you so brainwashed and indoctrinated that you still believe all the garbage you learned in school. You probably think you need the government to survive and that your vote actually matters in an election.

Also, government officials do own stocks in those companies that make at toys for the military. Money is to be made during times of war. That why America is alway at war and selling weapons to both sides of a conflict. Do you really not see how it is socialized? If you don't then you are fully indoctrinated my friend, or in the military. The truth can be rather jolting sometimes.

Has anybody ever thought of the fact that socilaism cannot exist on a large scale without capitalism. Socialism can only work in a large society when there is another equally large capitalistic society to leech off of. Sure people in the socilaist country may be happy for the first few years it is implemented but exports are minimal. Imports are huge. The goods they consume and need to live a comfortable lifestyle was all made by capitalists.
Imagine if you will for a moment a world completly void of capitalism. 99.99 perfect of us would starve if not more and they last .01 would live in the forrest for a couple years before they died of an infection.
Now to be fair imagine a world that is void of socilaistic policies as well. It would be a brutal hard life but alot more people would be alive and be more happy then socialism. They point i’m going to end with is that both system intermeshed are necessary for a comfortable life. Yet. The balance is somewhere around 90% capitalistic and 10% socialistic.
Deal with it.
A full on socialist system would be the end of the modern world as we know it. especially if in were implemented by the lazy fucks that want it right now because of da free gibs me dats.
Deal with it you lazy fucks.

Socialism has never worked, and it will never work. It's based on the false assumption that a utopia can exist, that people in general can live beyond corruption and create a system where direct personal interest does not come before the good of all. This will never happen. People simply cannot be that way in groups over a couple thousand.

Every attempt at socialism has ended in vast corruption and the deaths of millions of people. Every single time. So just... no. Socialism is a complete failure.

>inb4 hur dur, real socialism has never been attempted!
Your personal version of socialism would play out just the same. To implement it, you would need to be a dictator. And we know how it goes from there...

>inb4 but muh Scandinavia is socialist!
No. Scandanavian countries are capitalist, with strong social welfare programs. No one in those countries makes a claim to any form of socialism.

>inb4 but muh socialism exists in all these capitalist countries! Public roads! Social Security!!1!!!11!!1!
Those are classified as social/public welfare. These things have existed in different forms for literally thousands of years before the socialist philosophy existed. Rome had publicly funded roads, public baths. Every society has provided public protections (law enforcement, fire management) and most have had societal support for the poor, usually through religion, historically.

because something is 'social' doesnt mean it is 'socialist'. That is like saying community is the same as communism.
The social security and care stuff you mention have nothing to do with socialism (which is a political doctrine based on all power to the state and having no personal possessions ).

We live in a Socialist/Capitalist country. Take exemptions for your children on your taxes? Deduct your mortgage interest? Deduct your charitable giving? Congrats, these are socialist concepts. Government injecting itself into economic models creates inefficiencies that are counter to capitalistic practice. But as a country, we accept this because we prefer people to own homes, have children and donate money.

No. Those are social welfare programs. Social welfare != socialism.

Socialism is the public ownership of the means of production. It's that fucking simple. Any other definition is incorrect. And if the economic policy does not support this end, it is not a socialist economic policy.

These policies fit into Social welfare, sot socialism:

>Social Welfare
organized public or private social services for the assistance of disadvantaged groups

I have no objection to a moderate amount of public social provision, so that the disabled and displaced workers can live independently.

The free market has many advantages, but built-in boom-bust cycles and market disruptions should be acknowledged and we should mitigate against them.
