the reason communism failed was because the commies didn't think things through when they gave all the power in the hands of a few elite vanguards and expected it to not blow up in their faces.

Not exactly true. Humans dont act they way they do "because" It's because that's the values we've been raised to have.

In a communist society, children will be brought up to be hardworking, caring and selfless - to work for the common good rather then themselves. In that society, greed and selfishness will never take root, and society will be stronger for it.
>>
>>681166237
it will never work unless something uncorruptable is in control which is impossible. make an ai to do it and it would have to be skynet/matrix level which means it would be able to change and not do what we wanted it to do
both systems will always fail and cause greater harm than other systems. just a matter of time and scale of damage for all forms of government

>>681169089
A good example of this is Japan. Despite being capitalist, their system of morals (bushido) that they have developed through hundreds of years of isolation and social development mean that crime and greed are incredibly low. I think Japan could become socialist if it wished to.

They are the closest I think the world has to that kind of utopia - But they still have the problems inherent to the system of capitalism, being homelessness and unemployment to name a few. Some day, perhaps they'll make it.

This is like an elementary school meme. Literally Cold war Propaganda.

Democracy, or any other form of government is just as susceptible to corruption and greed. If not more so. the problem isn't the laws we make, it's the fact that people everywhere are smart enough to exploit and corrupt them and each other.

The form of government isn't the problem, it's what we are trying to control. Humans are ruthless, violent, unruly motherfuckers and that is an objective fact in any government.

Honestly, running a country is quite simple when you remove human error. A planned economy would remove free market problems like mass panics leading to recessions, unbiased court systems would prevent errors in trials, pretty much all problems in government come down to inneficiency and bias. If a computer ran all of that it would be almost flawless.

And no, it wouldnt take over the earth with machines. If it wasn't programmed to command a military, it wouldn't.

then it wouldnt be what was needed. to have it be able to adapt to chanign situations and evolve itself to meet new demands then it would be closed off from human altercations. if it could change itself without our aid then it is not incorruptible and whoever updates it could alter it to do what they want.
otherwise its the same as we have now but with a bigger computer
>>
>>681169914
Ok, so their culture has been developing for "a long time" then. Enough time to have a good sense of morality inherent in society. They don't fuck each other over very often.


Not true. Capitalism leads to social conflicts. It encourages people to exploit others, and after enough time has passed, class systems are created. This means some people are born with fewer oppertunities than others, and so they naturally feel resentment towards the upper class.

So capitalism is unfair, and the problems are inherent in the system. This is why socialism, which is built around working together for the greater good, is superior.
>>
>>681170597
Humans are influenced by the experiences around them. If someone is given a shitty lot in life, they'll turn into a shitty person. If someone is raised by a judgemental family, they'll become judgemental people.

So it's hard to change the next generation if we are teaching them with the experiences we ourselves have had, that are flawed. But it is possible. That's social evolution. half a century ago, racism was much much worse than it is today, so clearly we are able to change our system of beliefs.

If we fought to overcome the flawed system of government we have today, with the vision of communism clear to everyone, we could definately change. But instead it will be a slow process, which we have been moving towards over thousands of years. Feudalism < Capitalism < Socialism < Communism
>>
>>681169089
If the people in your theoretical society are people, then you will have to tailor the education to target the least able members or risk leaving most behind. Meanwhile, the more capable people will be able to see the strings controlling the system and start exploiting them to their individual beneift. This happens in every culture and government, and it's due to the nature of the ecosystem on earth. Something we forget in our anthropocentric realities is that inequality is a prerequisite for evolution.

Everything isn't meant to be ok. Humans aren't the pinnacle of evolution, and most humans don't have a real future (on evolutionary terms, talking millions of years) , just like most animals don't. Only the best should. It is the most merciful way in the long-run and it's also how nature works..
>>
>>681170684
Socialism is a system designed to dissasemble itself over time into communism. If the computer guided humans through that process, and then switched off, THAT would be the changing situation. Nothing else is needed - people just need to trust it, and if it wasn't corruptable or inneficient, they'd have no reason not to.
>>
>>681171862
If this system were controlled by computers, and not privy to human interference, they'd be unable to. Besideswhich, since all trade and management would be state run, and all positions of power ousted, there would be NO way to have an advantage over anyone else, nor should anyone want there to be.
>>
they can't work. socialism works to a degree allready - you have social security, public hethcare, public schools (not in all countries) pensions etc ... but comunism .. no. Comunism is just an idea, a propaganda ... it's utopia. It's like anarchy - a system that can't exist.
That said - a dictatorship will always be more successful than democracy, even at cost of human suffering. Consider this: ALMOST EVERY empire in human history was dictatorship. Rome was nearly destroyed as a Republic ... conquered most of Europe and middle east as dictatorship. No army in world can be democratic and succsessfull. A strict chain of command and discipline is just too effective.

from humanitarian and human rights standard tho - that world would be much worse for an individual than current "democratic" one.
>>
I'm full socialist, but I'm afraid with the people today, it isn't possible. With capitalism there is an excuse for corruption and greed, which is the reason it is the established ideology.
>>
>>681171862
being "the best" shouldn't mean you were able to opress others, or restrict them for your own personal benefit. It should mean working hard to improve the quality of life for others. Either in work, or having some kind of creative outlet. Charity makes a human better than others, and socialism is designed to bring about that viewpoint - the result of which is communism.
>>
>>681171706
I guess you're not very smart. Because it is in the best interests of the individual to control and exploit. In your "egalitarian" society would spring people smarter than you and they would begin to control your theoretical system just like happens in every human organization, including governments.

The best can see what others can't. What you are missing is that people aren't equal, and never have been, so imposing an artificial "equality" on them will only create profound dissonance in those smart enough to see that the foundation of their social framework is based on a fantasy from hundreds of years ago when we didn't have an understanding of genetics or evolution like we do today.

So what's your solution to that? Burn the books? Hide the information? Well? A stiff counterrevolutionary budget to cripple your internal dissent? Curfews? Rations? shit gets real, fast, son. I can empathize with an egalitarian fantasy because I had them as a teenager, too, but I know reality is not like that, at all.

>>681173074
>It's funny because evolution also works other way... think of dodos man, dodos...

How is that working the other way? That's exactly how evolution works. Dodos evolved on an island without predators, and so had no fear of the greatest predator on the planet and was wiped out along with many other species by mankind.

That's exactly how evolution works. The best take over the resources. The only thing left now is for humans to kill each other, and that's why there's so much pressure in the government to control people. It's the only predator that can really stand against other humans.
>>
>>681172834
Is it though? like, in the UK the rich exploit the poor for taxes, while they pay nothing. But by hoarding all the money state services are becoming unsustainable. So, in the next 20 years free healthcare, education and pretty much general maintance in this country will have to be run by private companies, which are not devoted to serving people, rather profit.

This means that there will be no real motivation to actually provide a good service. Ambulances are now taking 5+ hours to reach a patient since they were taken over by a private company. Other services will follow suit. This country will be ruined by capitalism, and all because of the rich hoarding their tax money.

Compare that to socialism, which involves everyone working to maintain the country. All these services which are essential to a good quality of life would be freely available to everyone, so truly the interests that people who want to "exploit" others for would actually be met in a better way.

It will take fucking up on the scale we already are now for people to see these problems. It would work, if people knew what the alternative is leading too. When it's impossible not to see that way, people will have to change.
>>
Leftism as a whole relies on the fundamental untruth that human beings, when given the choice of personal gain or societal good, will pick the latter. History is a littered with a trend towards the former.

When the French Revolution toppled the government there was a strong argument to outlaw WAR as a state policy, since it inherently harms people which is bad.

Today's liberals are sheep being swept up by powerful interests who are saying exactly what they need to get their votes. Leftists do not come to true power through anything but violent uprising, and when they do come the second generation of the revolution tend back towards rightism to maintain the power their forebears gave them.

So no.

>>681173081
>the problem with democracy isn't that its prone to the same problem as any other form of government
It is though, What do you even mean when you try to imply that the problem with democracy is that "we expect it to be genuine and work?" Anyone could say the same about communism or feudalism or whatever form of government.

Here's what all of you are missing. The purpose of government is to control the people. That's not a theory or an opinion point. It's what government is for. To control and bring order to people.

It's like talking about building a dam. anytime you create artifice (the Dam or the Government) to control nature (The rivers, and the humans respectively) There is a constant erosive force on that artifice, because it is artificial and there to control something that won't stop pushing until it wins and our feeble constructs strip away to nothing without their constant maintenance.

>>681174774
Consider a government with the purpose of providing services, run by the very same people who produce those services, and managed/organised by a computer that was unsusceptible to corruption. That's what we're talking about, and the one who seems to be missing it is you.
>>
>>681175174
What you are talking about is literally an impossible fantasy, son. Most likely because you lack an understanding of what it would take to do what you're talking about, as well as the ramifications.

Here's a good example:
>managed/organised by a computer that was unsusceptible to corruption

So managed by God? Dude, you're talking sci-fi, here, not social policy. I thought the same thing as a kid, until I came to understand that machines don't run themselves. They are completely subject to human will.
>>
>>681173141
because of inherent human nature - which is not disciplined. There will always be ppl that think diferently. Comunism trupms individualstic wiews, but people at core are naturaly egoistical. It's also a system thats not competitive. which means a comunist country will be behind other non-comunist countries that push competitivness by deafult. This has happened with every country that tried to implement it. Look - I'm not a fan of current system and capitalism (which is realy just rebranded feudalism + few socialist rights), and I think idea of comunism isn't all that bad by deafult ... but history showed it unsuccessfull .

So maybe in post-human society? But I'm a sceptic. I say we need better system - new system - system which would reward individual skills AND be socialy just. And imo internet is a good canvas to start from.

Most people are raised in society to value being "every man for himself" and egotistical. But this isn't human nature, so it just takes a different upbringing for people to cooperate in a system designed to be equal for everyone. Since capitalism is completely unsustainable and is leading to more and more people living uncomfortably, perhaps the 99% will force this kind of change, and enough people will want to cooperate to make the system viable.

sure - but to make it viable a system must be heavily altered compared to "current" Comunism standard. Stalinist Russia, Kim's North Korea, or Pol Pot's Cambodia are not systems you would realy want - and are probably not something you immagine as a perfect society. The new social system must therefore be such to prevent those scenarios - which would be probabley so far from current definition of Comunism, that it would effectiveley be new system - Capitalism is also "just" heaviliy modified Feudalism - but they are 2 diferent systems.

As for human nature being egoistical by nature - it's true sadly. it's survival instinct brought by evolution.

I think the biggest problem with all of these things is your expectation of other people wanting any of this. Some people want their THINGS. No matter what those things are who is anyone else to tell them they can't have those things? In the society you describe you're gonna have to take away people's things because someone else will be jealous of it. That's what breeds greed and corruption. The want for things you don't need. So who gets to decide what things people have? We're not gonna be just sitting around after govt mandated work time playing with our peckers since all(if there is any in the first place) of our income is precisely programmed to provide only what we need. We're gonna be bored. And we're gonna want a thing to fill that gap. Is everyone gonna have the same Honda Civic? Or can I have a truck? Will I be able to modify said truck? Or in terms you guys can understand better does everyone get a Dell? Or can you build a sweet gaming rig? Do we even get computers since it's not a necessity? Or tv. Or candy. Or alcohol. Or cigarettes. Who gets to make this decision? You? Me? A computer? Cause you're not gonna like what the computer has to say

I think all people really want the same thing at the end of the day - to live comfortably and be provided essentials quickly. Good food, medicine and transport, and comfortable living conditions. These would all be provided for, for everyone in socialism. It is becoming harder to aquire these things in capitalism, so the system has to change.

Furthermore capitalism will not be able to provide any of these services once we hit peak oil within 30- years. All its infrastructure relies on that supply reaching demand, and it won't soon.

Why is it that when you people talk about your favorite form of government, the people are all happy and peaceful and do what they are told, and you act like the same people are so oppressive or unruly in the other form?

Guys, it's the people who are the problem, not the form of government. If people were so easily controlled and naturally egalitarian, then we wouldn't even need laws, but the fact is that we are all unequal to each other, for better and for worse.

Some people could build a fortress out of scrap, while another would let a million dollar facility turn to shit within a year. We;re not the same, and that's a fact. Some of us are better than others, and we SEE that. We aren't blind. It's an objective fact that won't disappear under any ideology.

Poland was socialist - and it was not managed correctly. There were a lot of errors in the USSR. A lot of resources were spent on its military, and morale was low. It created a vicious cycle that ruined the system.

However this is not intrinsic to socialism, and would not happen under different circumstances.

The idea is that you ultimately want people to govern themselves, and live together in abundance, understanding, and essentially, some form of non violent, non coercive, organization. When you create a force of authority that has more rights than you do, this is unnatural, and this is when people begin to develop cognitive dissonance and begin to rebel against the established rules. Internal law and order is best learned from a place of mutually beneficial experience and not through coercion, or governmental structure. Government doesnt teach a human how to be human, it teaches them how to exist with external, unnatural rules which typically get more corrupt and in the end, never recognize that the ends do not justify the means, and that the means are the ends. This corruption slips into society in such an unnatural system and people stop realizing the effects of their actions and either the whole organization is undermined and begins to break down, or there is enough control over the individuals within the system to prevent any type of rebellion and the corruption continues onward, not seeing the causes of its actions until the ends are reached.

>>681166237
Can it work, sure it can work but we have better systems that work better like a free and open society and free and open market.

Once you start putting restrictions on everything it prevents any kind of progress.

Let's take the example of nuclear power. I choose this because I know you're thinking we need restrictions to keep us safe. Well in our pseudo capitalist state here in the United states we've allowed the government to control and restrict nuclear power. Which in effect has prevented any modern upgrades to be done to these systems.

Communism and any other type of system that rely on the government to control business and even society, you run into all sorts of issues.

In a free open society and market they fix themselves as time progresses on people change and we learn from our past mistakes only to use the new and improved companies, products, and social norms.

In our fear based systems where you have no choice and the choices are made for you by a very small group we find ourselves unable to freely express ourselves or to freely innovate no matter how harmful or not. we need both to understand the bigger picture and to help us grow and progress as humans.

It's the crux of the issue. We are not equal! Some people don't get that. I'm not happy sitting on my ass twiddling my thumbs with my daily ration and see that as some desirable future for my kids and their kids

What the fuck? Who would think that was a utopia other than some half-dead vegetable or literal retard?

The state will provide the minimum and then continue to provide the minimum.

In an society where we have free and open trade, competition is the norm and when we have a competitive market we get new and improved services.

Sure we could settle for the minimum or we could settle for progress and help further humanity into the future.

The progress leads to easier lives in general.

Take a look around your house and notice all that a competitive market has provided you. Has it made your life easier and have a higher standard of living


I'll bet the answer is yes.

Only the system you have proposed is the same one we have collectively fled from, Nature. Clever humans were able to figure out in advance that they were the weak links, and took steps to circumvent it. The single best plan for success has been cooperation. It always works. The only hinderance is when people just can't get along and don't cooperate.

Now you feel that it would be best to cast the lesser people off, and just do your own thing. Which works for a time, but will ultimately fail. This is because no society operates in a vacuum, so eventually you're gonna rub elbows with those people you have cast off.

If you've got a swell house, and your neighbor has a shit house, it's human nature for him to covet your shit. You can't stop it. Nor can you just kill all your neighbors, cause humans are like weeds.

Thus the only solution is to just help your neighbor build a better house. If his house is nice, he won't need yours, because now he will be defending his house from His shit neighbors.

Go read William Bartrams account of Native American societies and governmental structure from 1774. They didnt even elect a leader, the leader arose naturally, was accepted by everyone as the wisest and most just among them, and did not have to form a system that protects itself from the rest of the population.

Our problem is that the individuals we choose to represent us, do it through corruption, and have to usurp one another and use wealth/class differences to protect themselves from the rest of the population.

Trouble with comparing modern societies with Tribal power structures though is that they don't translate well. The leader arose naturally among native tribes because everyone knew literally everyone.

The only use for government in my mind is to ensure we all have access to the open market. If monopolies arise they're demolished and if someone comes along to prevent others access to the open market and society they should be Delt with via police(which is why I'm always saying police should be used for violent offenders only for the most part)

Communism and socialism are immoral concepts that are predicated upon the egocentric belief that the world and its people should be providing for you. They are failed theories that have never worked in practice; not because they haven't been properly implemented, but rather because it completely disregards the very nature of humans beings. A free-market economy is what brings prosperity to the world, and it's the most moral system we have at the moment.

I'm getting sick and tired of these millennial, unemployed faggots that think they understand the world around them because they were spoonfed some information on YouTube.

No we are talking about millions of people in a tribe spread out across multiple states. Not everyone knew the leader, the king, or the mico (which is what they called the king) but when they came to interact with him, he was just like them, there were no differences in wealth or attire, he did all of the jobs that they did, the only difference was in his 'spirit', disposition or mindset. The one thing different in each of our societies is the degree of technological development. What we have now since the industrial age is essentially corporate feudalism. But these native americans would have never gone for that, they respected themselves enough to choose not to work on someone elses 'farm'. And they would have never attempted to gain ownership of the ground and prevent people from growing their own food on it. Lol. Even if they had technology. They would not have developed the same system of governance as we have today because they had a deeper respect for what is 'everyones' and in what ways we are intrinsically equal.

look any two countries, compare average level of education and then measure how often they get knocked up. Look at just poverty levels in your own community. They are stupid cause they're uneducated, they're uneducated cause they're poor, and they're poor cause they're stupid. You can't make someone not stupid but you Can improve their education.

Otherwise what else are you gonna do with them? You can't kill them off, people have been trying that for hundreds of thousands of years, hasn't worked yet. You can't pack them up and ship them out cause eventually they will just be shipped back.

The stupids are a big old shit sandwich it's true. But it's one you gotta eat. We all gotta eat it. Cause it's not gonna ever go away till we do.

Socialism works... you only have to add a nacional- before and that's it
>>
Both communism and socialism are designed to fail, Government control of industry and production would force the government to produce based on needs over wants, so as a result quality would be deemed over a basic necessity not over a product which one would purchase and assume would receive improvements. Heavy taxation of the people will only inflate and devalue the currency as a result of decreased consumer spending due to lack of money. Whose to say the government wouldn't be the greatest monopoly of all, setting regulations on minimum wage and enforcing those regulations regardless of what you want, instead only for what you need, to provide a truly equal society.
The lack of innovation in consumer goods will create a lack of culture. How you say? The lack of improvements and need to improve to sell products and fuel competition will make things generic and based off of only need and not individual want, so as a result music, art and other aspects of culture would see no improvement and would instead be a product of needs. Music more than art was not only a form of expression but a market as well, artists would create content to appeal to a fan base, and the industry would see gradual improvements over time to meet demand, such as the creation of new musical genres such as the transition from Jazz to Swing and from Swing to Rock N Roll during the early 1900s.

No, you're wrong. People aren't the same, and I don't owe those people a goddamn thing. Especially not a good life. I'm sorry to be real in all this fantasy and rhetoric, but it's true.

I don't owe them, or you a fucking thing, and honestly, the right thing to do would be to control reproductive rights on a top level, with the objective scientific understanding that people are not equal and some are better or worse than others.

I agree that people need to be educated, but that doesn't work with a consciousness incompatible with education. Try uplifting all the cats and dogs while you're at it, if you think it's possible. The solution we have for them is that we round them up into concentration camps and wipe them out en masse and any survivors are subject to mandatory sterlization before release.

Enough with the fantasy of equality. It's incorrect. I don't give a fuck how sad it makes people, It makes me sad that I have to be faced with the refuse of our society to this point. Enough is enough. There would be less sadness to control them sooner than later. The same with dogs and cats.
