Actually, any socialism works. NatSoc is just the best. Remember, the USSR beat America in EVERY metric in the space race (and a number of other areas), even though America made it out of WWII MORE prosperous and didn't really particpate much in a combat role and Russia was DEVASTATED by that war and did most of the fighting and suffered most of the losses. Germany went from a destitute country to a fucking SPACE WORTHY civilization in under a decade. America during the most prosperous time in it's entire history couldn't compete technologically with EITHER of these countries - even though the USSR was falling apart the entire time.

It is very very simple:

Two things:

1. Make sure people bounce back easily. This means you splurge on safety and "fertilizer" stuff like paying for healthcare and education. Just throw money at it. Don't start babbling about "morality" and people needing to "learn to work hard", that's pseudo-cynicism.

2. Unions. Real unions, not shitty ones. Essentially, the employer and the employee want to fuck each other over. Unions can provide stuff like lawyering about backpay (this is one of their major functions here and it really helps making things run smoothly) and negotiate across-the-board salaries and generally _provide market information to the employees about salary levels and shit_ which makes things run even more smoothly!

You think this stuff is anti-captitalist. But why the fuck would we use stuff that wasn't realistic and in accordance with the principles of how the free markets actually work?

Then there's still unemployment.

In any case, that's highly inefficient, because it leads to government creating jobs who's benefit exceeds their cost to society. It's a misallocation of resources.

>>73975148
It's a reward for risk taking.

We don't have perfect markets because we lack perfect information, perfect factor mobility, and there are barriers to entry. A capitalist in order to form an enterprise needs to take risks which those employed under him either have not done yet, or are frankly too scared to do.

>>73975952
>Americans have great difficulty accepting that they're capitalist overlords are uncreative hacks.

What's your point? America was almost a pure White nation during that period. And it was immensely prosperous. I don't think anyone is going to claim that America was a failed state in the 40s. The baby boom exists for a reason.

America still was a failure. All this shit that angry capitalists have been saying about the communists. It's all true. Communism is a jewish trainwreck on anything but a micro scale.

And it STILL kicked the wealthiest nation in human history's ass at every single metric until the moon landings. Now how is that possible? And don't give me that "Oh but the little people had to suffer to achieve that goal" because that's exactly what the rich do to achieve the goal of fattening themselves and gorging on a nation's wealth. The problem with capitalism is that the end goal is ALWAYS profit - mostly in the short-term because capitalists are shit at planning. Socialism's goal is the well-being of the people. It doesn't always meet that goal, but it IS the goal.

Thats bullshit and you know it.

No I am not. Saying my house must be my private property because it is the inheritance of my family and because I sweated and even bleed for it, its not the same as saying private property should exist inconditionally, or that certain infrastructures should not be on the hands of colectivism.

Also, not all cases are equal. I know people who has pieces of forest, or fields inherited by their families, and they do a bad use of them. They speculate, they care shit about the landscape, or their simply are too busy to take care of their responsabilities with properties that would not make them gain a lot of money. Those should be CONFISCATED.

>>73977609
As a matter of fact, Eastern communism was WAY better for nationalism and identitary movements than western capitalism. Why is that every serious identitary alternative comes from the east? Why is that in Germany, nationalist movements are stronger on the east? I think every nationalist should think very carefully about these facts. Capitalism is the cancer of identities.

Don't give me that sob story bullshit. One: it's irrelevant and two: that's capitalism. Period. There is no such thing as static private property ownership. It always spreads like a cancer. What about people who "fought and bled" for a larger estate than your modest family home? Who just so happen to have means of production for industry on their land, and then decide to buy other land, etc, etc. You just recreated capitalism.

>Also, not all cases are equal.
That's exactly why you fucked up. Not all private domiciles are equal. Some are shacks, some are massive palatial estates. And the massive palatial estates under absolutely NO terms can be privately owned if you're going to have socialism. It's just not possible. They will always act as weedbeds for capitalism.

>Those should be CONFISCATED
So you have the idea of private property, but want to apply it arbitrarily as you see fit. Welcome to the USSR.

>Capitalism is cancer
You won't get any argument from me there. The real problem with any system is that most people are both evil and stupid and it takes herculean effort to get competent people into a leadership position. Unfortunately, capitalism, because it panders to sociopaths basically guarantees that you will NEVER have that happen. At least other systems give a you chance. Even dictatorships have the remote possibility of a benevolent dictator, and even modern dictators do SOME decent things for their people. But capitalism? Only if it gives the rich more money and benefits the people as a by-product.

No. That is LITERALLY your retarded misunderstanding and strawman view of socialism. Socialism is not "get welfare from the rich!". You're literally retarded. In a Socialist society the rich DO NOT EXIST.

That's true of every system, unfortunately. Like I said, it's extremely difficult to get the right people into power. But with capitalism, it's not only difficult - it's impossible because the end goal of a capitalist is ALWAYS to serve themselves, and nobody else.

>The Americans cared about beating the Ruskies, just not to the point where they would STARVE their population for more military expenditure and some silly space program.
Then you don't actually have an argument. The American government cared about the Cold War as priorities about 1 - 1 million. You're just making excuses for the failure of capitalism (yet again), while still trying to claim it's superior.

>You're seriously incapable of acknowledging the fact the standard of living in Russia was utter shit.

I'm going to stop you right there. NO! Bad capitalist! Muh school is not why people are poor. Especially in America where college is literally little more than an extortion racket to saddle young people with debt for as long as possible. Again, you're only proving my point, not yours, because the only people that tend to be free from this debt slavery are those who already were born at least upper middle class and had their parents pay for the shit.

>Muh wimmin's studies
Now this. THIS is a fucking strawman. Just how much of the student body do you think gets degrees in shit like this? This is a fucking "poor people buy lottery tickets, that's why they're poor" level of argument. Capitalists are literally retarded.

You're a faggot. And you faggots believe what you see is capitalism when it isn't. The left thinks more taxes and more government will improve everything when the special interests will just impose the taxes in a such a way that will stifle the competition.
>Carbon Tax

The problems we see today can't be attributed to capitalism. You can attribute it to government intervention.

The government and the people will always be separate entities in competition with one another. It's an industry in itself, and will always be influenced by outer forces. More government is not the solution. And good luck getting the money out of politics.

So the only solution we are left with is less government. Government is only the medium.

I think you'll find that in ''equality'' it is only the talented and productive individuals that are at a disadvantage. After all, people are different, and to find a common denominator usually means that the ones that are worth a damn are relegated and suppressed.

Most people will never be rich no matter what. Most rich people become poor through bad choices. Only a very, very small few ever become insanely wealthy, and keep it for a long time.

But that's quite alright. There's nothing wrong with this. Nothing at all.

Yes, there are people that abuse the system, and in turn abuse the people who support that system. But this is not always the case, and not everyone who is rich is evil, or did evil things to become rich.

Again, wrong, you fucking moron. Socialism doesn't NEED to employ people in a ponzi scheme of mindless labor. It's free to automate and only have people work to get specific tasks accomplished. Capitalism is the system you're thinking of that keeps people in hamster wheels for life.

>ponzi schemes, and endless debt slavery
So again, literally capitalism. Hilariously, the shit you're bitching about is IMPOSSIBLE in socialism. Who the fuck would you owe debt to?? The system isn't rigged to keep people spinning tires for the rich to keep getting more bloated so where would the ponzi scheme come in? Once work is done it's done.

Oh look at that a Scandinavian "commie" country is number one for like the 15th year in a row. Honestly, America doesn't even belong on the list. The fact that America is home to the richest cunts on Earth always skews the shit out of all of our stats. Now explain why more than half the country has to receive public benefits. Must just be because they're lazy, even though Americans work more hours (and get paid less) than most other first world countries.

>Hurr income inequality? Pffft dat dun matter
How can people be literally this retarded? Name a country that's good with massive income inequality. Not so fast, America.

Let's also remember that America is nearly minority-White. Even the Euro countries can't compete with that level of failure.

I hope the cunt's family was murdered horrendously. Unlike you, I don't shed tears for the poor, unfortunate billionaires destroying my planet.

Okay, let me get down to the point so I don't waste my time arguing with a child that considers peer reviewed research a "diatribe"

Your entire premise relies on a strawman that capitalists are evil, uncreative, lazy, soulsucking, profit driven at the cost of altruism monsters where you have not presented any evidence whatsoever that this is true.

My point with the women's study example was to ask weather you think that someone who's frankly less intelligent and less hardworking deserves the same rewards as someone who's more intelligent and hardworking.

It's actually quite a common idea. Milton Friedman brought it up as a more efficient form of welfare than the New Deal and Great Society programs brought forward by the US government. It keeps the efficiency of free market capitalism while solving the issue of actual freedom. The US was right that without private property, a Soviet citizen couldn't be free because s/he was always beholden to the state. The Soviet Union was right in that the average person in the USA doesn't have freedom because they don't have a choice but to work for someone else, allowing that someone else to potentially exploit them. A Universal Basic Income would solve both problems simultaneously.

Sweden has 3 times more Nobel prize winners per capita than US, UK has twice as many. That doesn't relate to people's overall wellbeing though.

Socialism doesnt have to be marxist nor internationalist.

Socialism to help your own people is the correct thing to do. Unite we are strong and eternal, invidualised we are cattle ready to be slaughtered.

Depressed wages, and poor employment is the cost of massive immigration and globalist economic models.

Terrible people did terrible things. Not all the wealthy are terrible.

But you cannot accept this notion, because it stands in staunch opposition to your seething hatred for "Richers."

This is an extremely stupid point, since those European countries that you mention have a large welfare state which you are now condemning?

Well if capitalism sucks so much you are free to move to a socialist country and enjoy.

>>73982987
That's probably likely, yeah. And we all know America certainly isn't a White country. But consider the alternative: America is following the Brazil trend: mixed race, massive income gap. People claiming Brazil is a failure because of anything other than capitalism and blame "socialism" really need to explain how Brazil is "Socialist" with such an income inequality. You can't have both Socialism and massive income inequality. The two are mutually exclusionary by definition.

>>73983154
You do, dumbass. That's why Brazil is a raging failure.

>I dont like being told what to do.
Jesus Christ look at how effective the propaganda is. You literally live in a state that may as well be a prison run by capitalists and you're STILL defending capitalism. Fucking hilarious!

>>73983639
Communism =/= Socialism. God damn we seriously need to breed out the ease with which propaganda takes root in the minds of retards through eugenics.

>>73983906
>There's nothing wrong with this. Nothing at all.
Of course there is, you fucking moron. Because that wealth doesn't come out of a vacuum. It comes from impoverishing EVERYONE except for the rich and destroying the biosphere of literally the only planet we live on. How in the fuck can capitalists be so insulated from reality that they think the wealth of the rich just comes out of thin air? It has a cost. It's just a cost you're trained from birth to overlook and not give a shit about. You will. In your lifetime you will. That's a promise.

>You can scream cuck
You are a fucking cuck. Cuck-a-doodle-fucking-doo, you immense faggot.

>Nor was it supposed to be.
Then you literally don't have a point, you fucking moron.

>Where's women's studies?
I would ask if you were retarded if /pol/ didn't already have flags. Your argument is agreeing with me?

This is getting too bizarre for me.

It's in human's biological nature wanting to succeed in life, and having healthy offspring. Socialism wants to take the concept of reward away from the people, meaning that there's no incentive for people to succeed. This world functions as having givers and takers. You cannot only have takers. See Venezuela.

how is socialism supposed to work in the US if so many people live on welfare and have no jobs

At most; socialism should provide essential healthcare and education. When we actually look at America and the reason why this concept can't work with it is because a majority of Americans have health problems and an underestimated approach towards their education. Having the 3rd largest population in the world does not help either. And do we even have to mention the military budget?

Ehh... it kinda does. What with economic growth and all that.

But those that have the most are usually capable of getting that wealth moreso than say Tyrone the Janitor is. Of course not everyone is going to succeed. But that's okay. We're not all the same. Some of us are losers.

Also; nice job cutting off the rest of that statement. Once again; shame tactics don't work on me.

Yes I do.

I'm showing that you're an utter retard who doesn't even have the basic inkling of what he's talking about.

When you say shit like this.

> Muh school is not why people are poor.

And then I show that the school that you go to directly affects your employment outcomes...well you're just wrong.

>>73983377
inequality adjusted? aka a socialist figure. Socialists want everyone equal. But what if you dont want to be equal? What if you want to be exceptional?
>>
>>73986263

Then you stole equality from someone else to be exceptional and must be destroyed.

We really need to string these people up before they ruin society any further than they already have.

And history is written by the victors, again. The thing I'll miss most about the Nazis losing WWII is the death of eugenics. Perhaps we wouldn't be so inundated with retards now.

This. Here's the truth.

>>73984901
>the guys in charge of the human genome project became millionaires. what did they destroy?
>what did my father, a successful dentist, destroy?
Sorry, cherrypicked examples don't remove the fact that the rich are destroying the world. And by the way, what would be the square footage of the house your millionaire dentist father owns?

>>73984975

How is a basic, accurate description a strawman?

Modernity.

You never had a point. It's just a propaganda talking point you were teethed on as a good citizen growing up in retardland.

>buying them legitimately
No.

>He deserved it."
If they were actually wealthy, they almost certainly did. It's extremely difficult to make a shitton of money while being a decent, moral person.

>Depressed wages, and poor employment is the cost of massive immigration and globalist economic models.
And of course the solution is to depress wages even more, right? Fucking lel.

>>73985438
>Not all the wealthy are terrible.
Name ONE billionaire that is not a total piece of shit. Although I don't think she's great, I'm going to take Oprah of the table, because she's a weird anomaly.

>Terrible people did terrible things.
Yes, and capitalism is the worst enabler of this because it LITERALLY rewards sociopathy and greed.

>But you cannot accept this notion
I think the only person having difficulty accepting reality is you.

>This is an extremely stupid point, since those European countries that you mention have a large welfare state which you are now condemning?
Who said I condemn a welfare state? In America, it's not because we have a "good welfare state" because any European will tell you that's a joke. In America it's because you can work three fucking jobs and still be homeless.

>>73985853
There aren't any, faggot. Like everything decent, American capitalists destroyed them all.

>>73985952
Nothing will ever work in America. Maybe when America breaks up. But I doubt even then. America is destined for third world status. It'll be the depopulated Brazil of the North.

>>73985996
Quite the contrary. I don't expect nu/pol/ to be literate at all. And I'm rarely disappointed with that expectation.

>>73986163
>Amerilard education (propaganda)

>>73986263
Listen moron. If the only way you can claim America is "prosperous" is by using the retarded standards of the hyperwealthy in America to inflate your numbers that gives unrealistic data. The standard of living has been dropping for ALL income categories except the richest for decades, it's just that during that time, the rich parasites have become so insanely gorged with taxpayer blood that they've fucked the data all to hell. When capitalists claim that capitalism is not a zero-sum game, they're right - it's just that the vast majority of the sum goes to the rich while everyone else is gradually impoverished.

>>73987607
I'm not sure where you're getting that but I'm going to assume you were referring to the private property discussion earlier? If you were, my argument there was that if you allow ANY private property, you will breed capitalism because private property is never distributed even remotely evenly amongst people. The rich will always own WAY more and will use the wealth they generate from their private property to generate more private property, etc. You need to have extreme restrictions on such things to have Socialist system with private property that will work at all, and even then it's on the clock - it's only a matter of time before a chink is found in the government's armor, the rich start buying up politicians and influence, and they convert the system back into cronyism.
