Yes, which is why I made the post. Some in the left wing of America call the Nordic countries socialist, which is utterly wrong.


With good social safety nets and strong unions.
The right wing in america tends to call policies similar to those in nordic countries infiltration by the commies though, tbf
 
Yeah I mean I'm not saying they can't become a garbage person or that a garbage man can become a neurosurgeon, im saying they will be a not good worker. Any manual job ive ever worked was plagued with people who think they're too good for it and can't get a clue, constantly complain making everyone else just as miserable as them, etc.
It's statistically way more likely for every single person to be a good garbage man, than to be a good neurosurgeon. :endthis:

Stephen Miller Asserts U.S. Has Right to Take Greenland: “We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power,” he said. “These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”

LOL HE THINKS HE LIVES IN REALITY

Dude couldn't work a normal job with actual consequences, because jobs with actual consequences fire raging, incompetent alcoholics.

The mask is off, anyone still supporting this fascist grift is either too evil or too foolish to be trusted on any level whatsoever.

I wouldn't trust these ghouls to BREW COFFEE correctly, let alone run a country, holy crappuccino Crapman

Well, we know they don't know how to order donuts, soooooooooooooooooooo

 
Pretty soon it’ll be because being born in the USA as opposed to Greenland is how you avoid the USA raping and pillaging you. Listen to some magas talking about Canadians even, I’ve heard some bloodthirsty motherfuckers to anyone who isn’t a red blooded american
And how that equates to takedown a tiranny like Maduro?

By the way, using the same logic people are using to defend Maduro Hitler should never being taking down back then.

Taking down a tyrant is one thing, putting stephen miller in charge of running a foreign nation and explicitly doing it to give the corporations that own the government billions of petrodollars is another lol

they don't need to do the second half, i dont need to glaze the second half because they took out maduro. If they took out maduro and didn't want to put Miller in charge and Trump didn't confirm that he was solely acting as the private army of the oil companies, that would be a different story.

Why do you want everyone to ignore that because they took out maduro? pussy shit.

Why do you want to pretend that the current USA is full of people who want to preside over a Germany like reconstruction of Venezuela? Everyone who wanted to invade and take the oil hates everyone there lmfao, they think they’re subhuman

Be prepared for every time news of dissenters being arrested in Venezuela comes out to be followed by a video of Stephen miller screaming that everyone mean to him is siding with murder rapists

socialist are smart for attaching themselves to capitalist countries mixed economies thanks to conservative fear mongeringn
At times I wonder if a lot of the "socialists" are just idiots who can't tell the difference. Nobody in their right mind would compare North Korea to Norway.
I hope that the fearmongering is just leftovers from the red scare. If that dies out, then hopefully we can move forward.

Be make sure not to mix up Democratic socialism and social democracy. Social democracy is such a heavily modified version of socialism that it's just baby capitalism, barely resembling a socialist economy if it all. Even some democratic socialist are capitalist in theory.
 
Its end-goal is to abolish private property
Are you sure of that? What do you call "private property"?


U can't compare picking up garbage from the ground to performing surgery the time you need to acquire that skill and the pressure / stress that's put on you when you execute it it's insane imagine having to opena dude's head in 2 and having to go through a 12+ hrs straight surgery to remove a tumor without a break and potentially killing OR permanently ruin what's left of the guy's life
Of course I can. In a healthy society both job are necessary, no matter how hard you need to prepare for them. The value that you get from it might be different yeah, but the ethical necessity not to hierarchize these job is fundamental.

If you create a hierarchy in term of payment, you then consider that two people working the same amount should be payed differently. This is capitalism and the start of inequalities and exploitation. This is also how people justify inequalities that the fact that some people, while poor, stay poor while other, can be rich.

You see, what you are not taking into account is that in our society, no everyone can be a doctor. You need what we call "capitals" (social, economic, cultural etc.) to access such education. So by paying more these jobs when there is already an inequality of access, you create a double process of inequality and you create the promise that if you are poor, you will stay poor (unless of a miracle)

Reality under capitalism does not reward efforts, it does not reward skill, it rewards capitals. Meritocracy is a myth


This is why we need to pay the same amount for the two types of work, even if they require different skills and one, a better preparation. It's necessary to keep an equality of income.

For the rest, under socialism, the value you will get from these work will not necessarily related to money. That's why I'm telling you that your current reading grid is capitalist biased. You need to shift it if you want to understand why people will go for said or said type of work, even if they are difficult or not..


A neurosurgeon can become a very good garbage cleaner tomorrow a garbage cleaner will have to go through life another time to become a neurosurgeon let alone a very good one.
Spoiler: Under socialism, a neurosurgeon could also be a garbage cleaner and find purpose in both work.

Again, your vision is capitalistic and meritocratic. If you want to understand what I'm talking about here, you need to project yourself into a non capitalist society were the need for competition is gone.


A little precision (from Marx):



Marx is actually talking about the "bourgeois property", in other words, the private ownership of the means and chain of production. Like I said before, under communism/socialism (call it whatever), you will be able to own private object and stuff. You simply won't have the power to exploit others.


socialist are smart
Yup

Yup
Nope, he sees all private property as negative

Private property has made us so stupid and one-sided that an object is only ours when we have it – when it exists for us as capital, or when it is directly possessed, eaten, drunk, worn, inhabited, etc., – in short, when it is used by us. Although private property itself again conceives all these direct realisations of possession only as means of life, and the life which they serve as means is the life of private property – labour and conversion into capital.
The abolition [Aufhebung] of private property is therefore the complete emancipation of all human senses and qualities, but it is this emancipation precisely because these senses and attributes have become, subjectively and objectively, human. The eye has become a human eye, just as its object has become a social, human object – an object made by man for man. The senses have therefore become directly in their practice theoreticians. They relate themselves to the thing for the sake of the thing, but the thing itself is an objective human relation to itself and to man, [In practice I can relate myself to a thing humanly only if the thing relates itself humanly to the human being. – Note by Marx] and vice versa. Need or enjoyment have consequently lost its egotistical nature, and nature has lost its mere utility by use becoming human use.
Idk what communist doctrine but Marx was pretty straight forward in his distaste for private property. Back to using the watch example you wouldn’t be able to own one in a Marxist commune.

Karl Marx is pretty much the Jesus Christ of anti-private property.
