This thread is for the discussion of any and all left-wing political ideology, including, but not limited to, Marxism/Socialism/Communism/etc.
>Socialism is an economic and social system defined by social ownership of the means of production. (Workers democratically own and operate the places in which they work, as opposed to private power aka capitalism)
>The means of production are non-human inputs the create economic value, such as factories, workplaces, industrial machinery, etc. Socialists refer to the means of production as capital, or private property. Private property in the socialist context shouldn't be confused with personal property, such as your home, car, computer, and other possessions.
>In a capitalist society the means of production are owned and controlled privately, by those that can afford them (the capitalist aka those with capital). Production is carried out to benefit the capitalist (production for profit). Workers are paid a wage, and receive that amount regardless of how much value they produce.
>Communism is the highest developed stage of socialism wherein there is no state, no money, no class system. The means of production are owned by all and provide for everyone's needs.
Sup Forums will always be a Far-Right board. Kill yourself, communist cuck.

Get out of my country faggot. $50 says you're a manlet that lives in Toronto. You people are a joke.
Do you consider Identitarian politics as helpful to the cause?
I see anti racists going off about how irredeemable the poor whites in the middle of my country are when we all know that the same capitalist oppressing them are the ones keeping blacks down in the cities

How many times do we have to say it until you stormweenies realize the truth? If I want to have a communist state It turns into state capitalist state instead Therefore it was not a comunist state
Jordan Young

Ryder Morgan
So, where are all these facts you mention? Surely you have some statistics?
> In a capitalist society ... workers are paid a wage, and receive that amount regardless of how much value they produce.
Maybe in theory but not in practice. In practice, in an effective company workers who provide more value than others will be awarded more responsibility and pay (promoted). Capitalism incentivizes merit-based pay.

>wherein there is no state Then how do you regulate production, trade, and defense? How do you form social policy or make laws? >no money Then how do you incentivize production beyond the necessities? >no class system Without a state, how do you stop class systems from forming? What's to stop people from voluntarily starting small, local governments that gradually grow into one modern, recognizable state comparable to the ones we have today?

that doesnt mean anyone should pay more for a burger, and that doesnt mean people should be allowed to charge more for a burger. in that scenario, a burger "should" cost less than 5 or 3 dollars. just because someone is willing to pay up to 5 dollars for a burger doesnt mean they would if they did not cost that much.
the only thing that changes the above is scarcity, not increased interest like youre implying. so youre thinking of scarcity, which is what makes setting prices in communism difficult in the first place. this is the -actual- real reason communism is idealistic, because its very hard when scarcity is a thing. and this also isnt to say that varying interests among the populous doesnt make it more complicated; it does. but its not the main problem. if nothing was scarce, interest would not be a problem. and technology will see to it that things become less and less scarce, to the point where a new economy wouldnt just make sense, it will practically be necessary, lest you insist on paying ceos assloads of cash just for owning robots and software.
and im not arguing for or against any ideology, just pointing out flaws in your understanding. that pic would be silly to you, if you actually understood. hopefully i have helped.

I'm very interested in progressive and IDpolitics any recommendations?

Are you literally retarded? That means implementing communism isn't feasible and therefore isn't a valid ideology. It's like advocating fixing a problem with magic but when your solution turns to shit and doesn't work you just deflect with "well they weren't using real magic."
And I'm not /stormfront/ you stupid faggot I'm just not utterly delusional like you are

I bet you're below 6 feet tall, making you a manlet. And the only communists in Canada are all in Toronto and they pretty much do nothing but rant about how evil capitalism is on their macbooks. Fuck off faggot and never make one of these degenerate threads again.
Jacob Foster
You don't have a valid metric for why the burger should cost less other than it feels right.
Communists don't deal with facts, you lazy cunts deal w/ idealized fantasies. You are no better than weebs, except you kill more people. Fuck off to leftypol cunt.
Andrew Mitchell
>muh communism has never really worked
Yet Sup Forums continues to support ultranationalism, fascism, and white supremacy, which, guess what, has also never worked.

It's not strange at all. We've been fortunate to avoid having to live under this cancer. But sadly, most of the bread and circus morons are ignorant as to what has been going on in the rest of the world.

for a light, fun start check out "A Pervert's guide to Ideology"...Zizek is a great cultural critic, satirist, and psychoanalyst...he's criticized for just criticizing and not providing a solution
There are so many different ways to look at it, but public ownership of the MOP and abolition of social class are the core ideas.
check out the pastebin for more stuff
Chase King
However, he isn't wrong. Yes, an idiot for believing in magic (a capitalist invention btw), but the statement that they weren't using real magic stands true. For example, if I say use this stick to catch fish, and you use a net instead, I am perfectly correct in saying that you didn't use the stick
