Okay, so if we lived in a vacuum and nothing existed beforehand, socialism could work. So never :milaugh: I mean I agree, it could never work.

:Think: so you're repeating what I said

Yes, but you're wrong, it's not a circumstance, dictatorship is a result of implemented socialism. Socialism as a standalone system? There's no standalone system lol, we don't live in a vacuum.

You're the one arguing it's never been tried, it has been, repeatedly. You can't impose real socialism in any circumstances without force. That is the whole point. Good. Okay then we agree that it should crash and burn :catUp:

It's the most successful economic system. But if you'd rather switch to Venezuela's method, go ahead :risiflip:

He’s never gonna be released lol They wouldn’t have done it if it wasn’t ironclad.

No, that’s factually correct.

No, sorry, we had a fully socialist state with the exact worker self-management you like. Fully. I give up :josad:

Logiko, I'm not talking about my "ideas" and "beliefs", I'm talking about what happened in reality, to us.

It's a horrible idea. Since there's no such thing as company closure and since wealth is "distributed" among workers, there was no incentive to cut costs or innovate, cause workers weren't hurt by working for a company with losses. So you can imagine why there's no innovation or long term...

I like China a lot though, pls let me visit again :catUp:

Economically capitalist and politically authoritarian :catUp:

Not really, it has private ownership companies so it's still capitalism.
