PRC is capitalism with some controls. USSR attempted socialism but failed with varying degrees. Cuba is a dictatorship of Castro family. Vietnam was socialist but moved to a PRC model. DPRK is dictatorship.

Communist states require capitalism to some extent as they need the modes of production to exist before the modes of production can be democratized. In the real world this strongly implies that communism would be post capitalist. The problem almost all communist states suffered is via creation of a vanguard party which oversees the transition from the existing structures to actual communism. In many cases vanguard never relinquishes power and becomes the very entity that they set to destroy. Revolution is continous and requires context to succeed. In this case, any structure must be opposed to make sure that power do not get concentrated. This implies that absolute systems cannot exist. Only decentralized systems which cooperate on some principles with each other can solve the issue of power concentration.

Stealing this meme. Too good.

Well color me stupid color me gone.

Its possible to add free for all except US govt and that does not stop it from being free for the rest of the world.

The solution to this is simple. A change to the MIT license to bar .gov projects to use the open source projects.

I did not knew that Tor was getting funded by the american state. Thats giving me some spooky vibes.

Berkshire Hathaway?

Its recovering and I dont know why. I dont see anything that changed fundamentally. Am I missing something?

🙏

Why? He should be considered for next presidentship.

It’s all okay. We can all sell our blood and organs to the mega billionaires so they can all go to space and construct an empire there.

This is interesting.

I have read a lot of marxist and anarchist theory. All marxist theories did is to confirm that the anarchists are right.

What is a tankie?

That too. It will just be like pigs or chicken now.

This assumes that the citizens are capable of fighting back against an armed state which protects the oligarchs. The monopoly of state on violence enforced by the personal cults of various billionaires will quench any chance of a revolution. Add to this the surveillance of means of organizing like sms, signal etc and you get a perfect police state under the control of few. The ideal solution would then be to eliminate the impoverished basic class and live off the land. The only disadvantage is probably the stunting of genetic lineages some generations after. So they might keep some of the impoverished around to make sure that they can keep the genetic pool diverse.

I dont understand who is downvoting you and why. Everything you said is logical

there is 7 quarters remaining. Dumpf will bring the greatest depression in american history and if reserve currency moves away from dollar, there will be wars. Thucydides trap is here and better be prepared.

UBI is never going to come to the united states. Whats reasonably to going to happen is an uprising and the brutal suppression of it by the police state a la Tianenmen square style or even worse. US have done this against people of color multiple times in its history. This time others will join as well.
