Socialism was complete and utter garbage. Fun fact: Life for Somalians actually improved under anarchy than during its socialist regime.
Yes. Socialism is THAT fucking shit.

Socialists keep saying that shit, but how does it make any sense?
>Guys, if we just keep adding more government and give it more control, we'll eventually need no more government for reasons
How can an ideology that is literally opposed to anarchy, have anarchy as its goal?

If anyone is forced to participate in the system, it is not an anarchy. If everyone is free to do with his body and property as he wants, which includes freely sharing it with others if he likes to do so, that is not communism

Communism just means workers own the means of production.
The destruction of civilisation as a whole and the initiation of a descent into barbarism.
Also fuck off to /pol/ this is a history board.

And if you have a government that holds power, that is literally the opposite of anarchy

even worse when you have the retarded communist version of them trying to think they'll be buddies
compare chile to venezuela. one has food shortages in the 21st fucking century and one has a western standard of living. Wonder which one is socialist and which is capitalist hmmmmmm
You all don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Socialism is an economic system where the workers own the means of production.
Communism is a socialist stateless society, that is, the state doesn't exist, so you could say it's an "anarchy" as in rules without rulers (it doesn't mean chaos, you dumb fucks).
Anarchism is attempting to achieve a stateless society (communism) through stateless means.
Marxism-Leninism (known as Communism for you americans) is attempting to achieve a stateless society (communism) through statist means (vanguard state).
This is interesting. All the leftists and /pol/tards have all arrived on scene to try and win over as many people as they can and take over the board.
I say let the Commies win, anything is better than a repeat of /pol/ or /int/.
>>6430
Yeah, lets totally not tell all of them to fuck off

What does that even mean? If I buy a printing press, doesn't it belong to me?
And if I pay a guy to work on my printing press, how does that make it his property? Because if I pay a plumber to fix my toilet, it doesn't mean he suddenly owns my bathroom
>>6455
OP is asking for historical discussion, it's on-topic. It's just you getting buttblasted at people attempting to use your hugbox for actual discussion of differing ideologies.
>>6479
hopefully /hist/ doesn't become /pol/ 2.0 or leftypol 2.0.....i'd like to discuss both things desu
>>6504
You just advocated for a Communist hugbox
Holy shit did you even read with what you said?
>>6498
I would assume it means that workers make all the decisions with regards to how a company is run, rather than having one person or a small group of people making all the decisions.
>>5870
Just as it is capitalist to some extend.
People forget that both systems have their inherent flaws.
>he thinks the holodomer is real
Pressure from a viable socialist alternative forced the Western capitalist powers to make concessions to labor that created the middle class living standard of the post-WWII years which is slowly crumbling today as the capitalists have gotten complacent in the post-Soviet world.
>>6498
according to socialist you should literally have to give up your printing presses to your employees for free. That's how dumb they actually are.
>>6540
You can do that in a "capitalist" system though. Nothing makes it illegal for you to create a company and share all your power and money with all the workers
>>6504
Fuck off leftist shill
>>6498
>If I buy a printing press, doesn't it belong to me?
If you are the one using it (personal property), then yes.
If you're not using it at all (private property), then no.
But you don't buy means of production in a communist society since they're public so the question doesn't make sense.

It's more that you'd have to give rights to your printing press as part of an employment contract. Like you can buy a printing press and do whatever you want with it, but if you want someone else to help you use it, instead of paying them wages you give them a partial share in the business and you split the profits.
>>6619
Yes but in a capitalist system workers don't have the power to make that happen. It benefits the business owners to keep power in their own hands so they're not just going to let workers make the decisions.

It's been part of capitalist critique and the relationship between the means of production for fucking decades. Fuck off, this board is for people who actually read.

State socialism is just capitalism where the people with all the guns also have a monopoly on everything else. Stalin forced workers off their own farms, separating labor and means of production in the name of the proletariat.

A toothbrush or a condom isn't a mean of production. It's fucking yours.
Means of production are a different beast because they're what's used to run the economy.
>>6881
Yeah, however it's really fallen behind. Stalin did a good job of rapidly industrializing (at great cost) but his successors didn't do a good job of keeping up. I've heard that by the eighties or so Russian goods were actually worth LESS than the raw materials used to make them.
>>6906

Go back to lefty/pol/, this board doesnt want either of you
The Labour government of 1945-1951 was the most sussesful government of the United Kingdom in the 20th century, with only the Liberal governments at the turn of the century coming close.
The Attlee ministry provided the period of highest economic growth, lowest unemployment, and highest standard of living in British history, at the same time as the abandonment of India and mjxh of the Empire. As well as setting the foundation of the welfare state which is so taken for granted to day, establishing the National health service, as bringing multiple key industries into public ownership including the creation of British Rail.
Not to mention the success on the homefront in WWII comes not just from Churchill's charisma, but from the Labour party too, Clement Attlee of the Labour Party was crested as the first deputy Prime Minister to run the homefront while Churchill and the Conservatives ran the war.
It's a shame what both the Labour party and socialism have become, that the two are now almost inseparable from internationalism and the issue of mass migration, the idea of socialism in one country dead in the water, and the economic policy forever tied to the left wing of social policies
>>6984
Tell that to the stormfags, they get assblasted the moment someone mentions leftism, and OP is completely on-topic.
my main criticism of marx is that he used confusing terminology
like how is the layman not going to confuse "private property" with "personal property"
>>7070
Marx never wrote for the common person anyway
>>7046
Socialist internationalism =/= Mass migration under capitalism
Please read more.
In my opinion you can't say that you understand history completely without having read works like Capital or The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon. The way Marx analyzes and dissects history is absolutely brilliant.

>Socialist internationalism =/= Mass migration under capitalism
Sorry for my poor phrasing, what I meant to put across that today parties on the left of Politics generally are in support of migration, yes there are exceptions but on the whole the two are generally linked, came across incorrectly as I was stating my disapproval of both internationalism and mass migrationary politics, not that the two are a single issue
>>7230
we all know if its any left of hitler its sjwism and evil
>>7253
And what exactly about migration is so bad, mister nationalsocialist?
>>6021
The word "socialist" has a lot of meanings, unfortunately.
Marxists call themselves socialists and mean that they want a revolution ending in a vanguard state which will redistribute everything equally, alter society so that people are raised and conditioned to share fairly, and then dissolve.
Democratic socialists call themselves socialists and mean that they want a revolution (or a very strong shift via democratic means) resulting in a democratic (in a more genuine sense than most democracies are today) state that is generally socialist in the sense you think of it.
Anarchists want to abolish the state at the same time as bringing about a situation in which the workers control the means of production. Tactics for this vary, but mostly involve supporting those who are being oppressed by their governments in their struggles, creating alternative ways of doing things, and attempting to make the state redundant using so that it can be safely done away with.
>>7299
in yurop the history is repeating, if you know what i mean
>>6970
Found the anarchist.
>>7317
why are you so mad?
>>7317
>implying that /pol/ doesn't chimp out when communism is mentioned there
>>7253
That's because "today parties on the left of Politics" aren't leftists; they're socialdemocrats aka hippie capitalists who want walfare. Radical leftists are more rare every day, but if you ask any of them they'll tell you they don't agree with mass migratory politics in the current world because they reduce wages, generate tensions between the working class and only benefit the bourgeoisie. You never see factory owners complaining about mass immigration, do you?
>>7299
what actual benefit does mass migration have to a socialist nation?
>>7349
Hi!
>>7383
How does it hurt socialism if workers freely move?
>>7383
You still didn't answer the question.
>>7383
you need to escape the idea of benefits for the nation and insitsid start thinking of benefits for the people of the world.
immigration doesn't necessarily help a nation 100% of the time but it does help people 100% of the time
>>7380
Alterglobalism is a thing too. It's not just pro-globalism or anti-globalism. But it's true that there are too many people who support open borders in conjunction with "limited capitalism" instead of just no capitalism.
>>7464
why should i give a fuck about "people of the world"
>>7417
too bad mate, this is very history related and you shouldn't be surprised about arguments that happen on a bored dedicated to the things that happend and their effects
>>7167
>>7299
That's not the case, I detest /pol/ as much as the next man, I'm in favour of controlled and regulated migration, caps and a points system for those in search of work and employment, exceptions for those with a large enough income and savings to support themselves already. Most importantly no longer settling all prospective migrants into single areas like the mistake of the post WWII-era, the reason such a stigma exists on migration today is that those entering the country were allowed to settle in a single area, father then integrating into preexisting societies, they simply recreated their own in certain areas of the country, where migration is highest to this day
Yes I have a slight nationalist streak but my main objection to mass migration is on an economic level, in the United Kingdom at least the current level is unsustainable, public services are already buckling under their own weight and their is h serious housing crisis, yes those arriving may live a better life, but on a wbole whole conditions are worsening bringing everyone slowly down, as much as some would detest, help others where you can, but your own should come first, others shouldn't be helped at the detriment of your own people, whoever they may be
>>7509
Why should you give a f*ck about anyone other than yourself?
>>7509
because comradery, and the motto is workers of the WORLD unite
>>7464
>you need to escape the idea of benefits for the nation and insitsid start thinking of benefits for the people of the world
This is true.
>but it does help people 100% of the time
This is complete nonsense. Converting the first world into the third world is just fucking everyone over.
>>7509
Because we live in a global village!
Swedish healthcare, for example, is a human right. Anyone from Iraq or Somalia is welcome to come here and enjoy it. If the money runs out we can always just borrow more.

>>7536
>father then integrating into preexisting societies, they simply recreated their own in certain areas of the country, where migration is highest to this day
Which wouldn't be an issue if you stopped thinking in arbitrary categories like nationality or ethnicity, and just simply saw people as people, workers as workers.
>in the United Kingdom at least the current level is unsustainable, public services are already buckling under their own weight
Then the state should put more money into them. Simple as that and it's good for the economy too
>help others where you can, but your own should come first, others shouldn't be helped at the detriment of your own people, whoever they may be

I don't know what the hell you're trying to say here, but with automation eating up low-skill jobs and millions of low-skill laborers flooding in you've got a perfect recipe for disaster. That's not even mentioning crime, ethnic tension, and strained welfare resources. Mass immigration fixes nothing.

In the current state of things that won't change, as long as nations exist, nationalities will exist, language barriers, culture differences, as much as a unified world is a wonderful concept, it isn't there, the workers are not yet united intentionally, if anything the first step should be uniting them within their nations as a stepping stone
>Then the state should put more money into them. Simple as that and it's good for the economy too
That is true, but there is not the money or resources available for such investments, not to mention the current elected party loves small government and has been enacting Austerity measures for the last 5 years, in perfect world this would be the case
>"Your own people"? Who might those be? Whatever the capitalist in charge tells you?
All those who work and contribute to the society, no matter their background, those who pay taxes for what they recieve, who work rather than simply exploit state benefits, those who are are part of the wider national community, not those who form communities of their own inside the nation, not those who are disruptive to the society as a whole.
I honestly can't think of any socialist accomplishments besides making cute little euro countries stable.
I guess par for the course are considered accomplishments to socialists.

How do you come to a conclusion that socialists or communists are Sjw? Where's even the fucking logic in that?

I think you misunderstand the situation a bit. The problem isn't in the migration itself. The problem is in the reasoning behind the migration and how the governments are handling the migration. You're looking at seperate cases that had different causes for migration that resulted differently.

Marx was a statist faggot in disguise.

Calling the Anglos immigrants misses the point because there was no significant country there to begin with, only roving packs of prehistoric holdovers (who were, I should add, migrants themselves).

It would be good for others in their own native areas too. For example, one of the chief Barrie's to the self sufficiency of many third world countries is the fact that cheap imports fr the west prevent native businesses from forming, most significantly in agricultural sectors.
Not that I'm implying I actually care about Africans mind you, that's just how it works out. A 'global economy' is a catastrophe, multiple redundancies are much more adaptive wrt making civilizations work for a number of reasons, fulfilling Keynesian functions in less arbitrary ways especially (this can apply just as easily within a country as well).

Great comeback, faggot. Now go back to facebook where you came from.
communism is the abolishement of property & the division of labour, which leads to the withering away of class, state, etc.
>>8343
This is true, but you cannot undermine nation issues. In fact national issues should come before external ones, so that you're in good enough shape to help other countries.
Considering we live in a globalised world, the idea of competition between nations is counter-intuitive, considering how connected economies are these days. So, it is imperative to help those countries that are falling behind, because leaving them as they are will eventually create problem for the ones that are doing well.

'Wealth creation' is an act of financial alchemy, and it is entirely unnecessary to inflate your *real* dependencies in order to achieve that.
Such a thing is not unlimited in praxis, in any case.
if communism is so great, why has it never worked?
btfo
>>8995
youre kidding right?
of course you are sorry for asking
>>8995
Because it's the way of getting there that's not so great.
>>8973
the problem is that outside of academia communism is still identified with the formerly state-capitalist block in the east. There aren't many people who don't consider themselves marxists and still recognize what communism actually aims at.
sad desu
>>8995
America did its best to stop it from working.
Doesn't mean it can't work in the future.
why do people legitimately believe that socialism can be achieved through democratic means?\
revoloution is the only way and that doesnt work 100% of the time
>>9075
oh god hes serious, he doesnt even know what communism means!
socialist accomplishment
>>9075
communism is terrorism

Americans would be laughing, it's the former Soviet countries like Estonia who are going to be butthurt.

Huh, what?

>i bet getting there wouldn't be so hard if communists stopped killing and oppressing people
The killing and oppression is a consequence of a failed transition to Communism.

Absolutely pathetic.

>a consequence of a failed transition to Communism.
why is it constantly failing if it's so good?
communism = rues du sucre, la plage partout, the full satisfaction of human needs
capitalism = dude, like VALORIZATION OF CAPITAL lmao

Please tell me this is just b8.
If not, go back to facebook with those meme image.
>high level of discourse is expected
Even /leftpol/ argues better than the Communists in this thread.

"take my bait! take my bait please!"
in all seriousness the reason all socialist countries have failed (communism is stateless, there is no such thing as a communist country)
is because of imperialists and bourgeois pressure, a prime example being the iranian communist party that was freely elected and then ousted by american and british agents
also cuba is extreamly successful for a country that has been embargoed for more then half a century
>>9330
because it messes with their echochamber.

nice, didn't hear about this. reading up on it now
why can't the shitposters from /pol/ leave us alone?
>>9294
Attempts to achieve democracy also failed a fuck ton of times. Literally hundreds of peasant revolts failed, ended up with everyone dead. Same with the abolition of slavery.
Such a big shift in the societal and economic structure is hard, really hard, it has nothing to do with it being "good" or "bad".
>>9375
>its a meme image if it dissagrees with me and proves my bourgeois assumptions wrong
/leftypol/ is a bunch of liberal socdem #feelthebern types, anti-imp chavista state-fetishists and ANARCHY LMAO types
leftcoms are based

cuba is ranked one of the most freedomless countries in the world
>>9424
its an on topic thread retard
>>9296
I hope you realize just how fucking retarded you are right now.
Why does this happen every time in every single thread about Socialism or Communism?
>You don't understand Socialism/Communism!
>No YOU don't understand!
>No, both of you are wrong!
>None of you are actual commies, you understand nothing!
>lol Socialism sux
>lol Murrican thinks Marism/Leninism/Stalinism/Maoism = Socialism
>Socialism is X
> No, Socialism is Y
>lol thinking the State will help ya
>Fuck off hippie
Etc, etc, etc... Seriously, it would help a lot if Socialism wasn't a blanket term for so many things.
Marxism is dead. It has been taken over by capitalists and pro-capitalist governments, corrupted and perverted into a philosophy of pro-slavery. Just look at the people using the language of Marx in order to justify the poor working multiple jobs, over 40 hours a week, more than one adult per household required to make ends meet, demanding open borders to create even more lower class competition, and just look at the beautiful women conditioned to think that the greatest accomplishment in life they can muster is getting a thankless, dead end office job and that careers that actually benefit women (legal prostitution) or society (stay at home mom) are bad, ect. Marxism is dead and there's no bringing it back.

the concession on leftypol is that socdems are cancer

This thread went downhill real fast.

In reality Socialism is the collectivization of the means of production, everything else is red scare.
>>9484
You're forgetting
>Social Democracy is totally 100% socialism
>>9476
>refuses to respond to all of my other points and just spouts muh freebums
>>9539
Then what's the difference between that and communism?
Liberalism killed the soviet union. Noone had any inclination that the ussr was even *close* to a crisis, east *or* west. A total collapse wasnt even in the realm of consideration, save in an abstract sense of 'communism eventually defeats itself.'
Things were going great until the fire na- I mean until Gorbachev ruined everything by introducing evil 'enlightenment' era memes from the west, the true progenitors of degeneracy.
Rip right lenninism.
>>9507
that doesn't mean that they aren't bloody liberals
I remember how I mentioned that in socialism there effectively wouldn't be a working class and some were completely shocked by this statement, even though it's basic marxism.
>>9426
is such a massive societal and economical change remotely realistic now though?
>>9476
By who? Some American capitalist think-thank? They have one of the most advanced health care sectors in the world. I'd say ranking low on an arbitrary definition of freedom is well worth it
