Doesn't the US also have local taxes that are effectively the same as a VAT

B-but rent prices in LA!

"Heh, that's a cool argument you made but sadly you also made a MINOR SPELLING MISTAKE."

So true bestie

From your replies I'm betting on anti lgbt or pro pedo opinions

Edit: or islamophobia

Bro is telling on himself

Do you think he pays Chinese teenagers to run his companies

It's one guy who is going through like a million treatments.

It's cool that the data is available but what helpful information can be gained from it other than "what happens if you do jackass but healthy?"

Some people have been running linux on surface tablets I think?

Yes, and the owner of the MoP in the USSR was the state, which was controlled by a small political elite.

This creates a class conflict very similar to the conflict under free market capitalism.

Socialist economies are determined by which form of production is primary in an economy, and in the USSR post-NEP this was public ownership and central planning.

This doesn't mean it wasn't commodity production.

Socialist from a Marxian analysis, the ownership being the public and therefore the Proletariat, not some obscure "ownership class" that has no bearing in Marxist analysis.

Not even but you're too deep in the kool-aid to even understand your own prophet.

The Proletarian State is the tool of class oppression against the bourgeoisie.

And yet, it was a tool of oppression against the proletariat.

Turns out that the state and capital are one and the same, and when you try to use a system of oppression to liberate someone, it doesn't work out.

This is traditional Marxism, the public owning the MoP is the hallmark of Socialism, and the Proletarian State withers with respect to how collectivized production has become.

"Actually, worker control of the MoP is when a very tiny political elite decides how the MoP is used."

And of course, the fabled "withering of the state" which can be seen by how the late USSR oligarchy withered into the Russian Federation mafia state!

Marx was certainly no Anarchist

Take a drink every time a tankie randomly stays this.

there can be no Marxism without Public Ownership and

Marx was pretty vague about central planning in his writing in general, and there are arguments that he could have been opposed to it later in his life, this is however irrelevant.

I cannot emphasize enough that I do not care about Marxism, it's a useful tool for analysis of capital, but Marx lived and died in the 1800s.

It's time for the socialist movement to move on forward, we can synthesize the old with new information and analysis which waa gained throughout the last 150 years, and create better systems and theories.

The endless discussion on what the "prophet" Marx and Engels wanted us to do are fucking poinltess and furthermore incredibly boring and played out.

Socialist economies are when you have commodity production and MOP owned by an ownership class.

👍

"Uhh akshually the proletariat owns the means of production because the state is basically the people." Please, tell me you don't actually believe this.
