Any money there has a value and unit of account. Yeah. Capitalism has another thing - it has money. That distinguishes it from socialism, because socialism doesn't have money. In addition, socialism has little or no incentive to advance a product to be competitive anywhere. There is no need in the commune. Well, I guess you'd just be the one **** that sits there and eats without working. I guess maybe, just maybe, we could have "from each according to their ability, to each according to their work". Maybe. We don't even need money for that! Just "if you work, you get what you need". Done. People now work. This means that socialism must trade with a capitalist system to give the money it uses a value and unit of account. Unfortunately, the products coming from the commune, although they do go through price discovery on the outside market, cannot compete effectively with better products produced elsewhere. The demand for the commune's products is low, hence the price is low. So low that it costs more to produce the commodity in the first place (since the commune had not incentive to make things efficient either). Wait, what? Why do we need this "price discovery", and why can't we make it ourselves? Besides, socialism can be self-sufficient. This means the commune must steal to survive. Since it cannot produce everything itself, what it can't produce must be stolen from a capitalist system that does produce it. Margaret Thatcher, eh? Parrot.

Perhaps you had better ask the question of yourself: What is money? jwoodward48 wrote:In addition, socialism has little or no incentive to advance a product to be competitive anywhere. There is no need in the commune. Ah...so now the commune now requires 'work' from its members? Doesn't the commune provide for all? What is your 'work' worth to the commune? jwoodward48 wrote:This means that socialism must trade with a capitalist system to give the money it uses a value and unit of account.

jwoodward48 wrote:THERE IS NO MONEY IN TRUE SOCIALISM I hope you are aware that you don't get to determine what constitutes "true" socialism. Look up the "No True Scotsman" fallacy. jwoodward48 wrote: Yeah. Capitalism has another thing - it has money. That distinguishes it from socialism, because socialism doesn't have money. Explain why this is necessarily the case. jwoodward48 wrote: Well, I guess you'd just be the one **** that sits there and eats without working. I guess maybe, just maybe, we could have "from each according to their ability, to each according to their work". Maybe. We don't even need money for that! Just "if you work, you get what you need". Done. People now work. Marxism fails because it is based on the mistaken axiom that human nature is something very different from what it actually is. jwoodward48 wrote:Wait, what? Why do we need this "price discovery", and why can't we make it ourselves? That's the problem. We make the determination. No government can do that for us. There you have the framework for failure. jwoodward48 wrote:Besides, socialism can be self-sufficient. Socialism can never be self-sufficient.. It can only collapse and fail. .

I guess your claims are UNFALSIFIABLE [/quote] I see you've been reduced to ranting incoherently. Since you've decided to tout the benefits of a society that's never been (according to you and ignoring the True Scotsman fallacy), perhaps it would be best to try to describe this vision of this society that you have and how it should be brought about. I mean specifically. Not just vague claims about how wonderful it is. The Parrot Killer Debunked in my sig. - tmiddles Google keeps track of paranoid talk and i'm not on their list.

This would be a GREAT topic for jwoodward48 to initiate and develop so as to build a framework into which we can fit the Marxist Global Warming theory/faith. @ jwoodward48, thanks in advance for describing this vision of yours. .
