      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A48       MSGID: 1:105/420 2cd84e87       TZUTC: -0700       Hey Victoria though we'd best move that conversation about communism from FSX       to here.              ma> I am a Marxist-Leninist... aka communist/bolshevik/(derogaatory by ultra        ma>leftists and liberals) tankie       ma> I am a super strong avocate for 20th century Socialism       ma> which is worker's state, centrally planned economy, means of production       ma>seized        ma>by workers, and no markets              Though I'm definitely on the left, I'd have to say that history & the soviet       union's failure to keep up with the west illustrate that a centrally planned       economy just doesn't work well.              ma> under capitalism there is severe exploitation       ma> under socialism exploitation is non existant       ma> exploitation is where someone who dose not contribute to society live off       ma> the        ma> labor of others. aka the capitalist. they live off the labor because they       ma> own        ma> the factories etc. aka the means of production              Again history shows that just isn't the case, at uni I met a number of Russian       and east european academics all of whom had horror stories of how       just how exploitative Russia's socalist state was to its people.              Similarly I know several Chinese Ex-Pats who say similar things about the CCP       & how things are run in China.              How do you envisage a new communist partly/state avoiding this?              ... White dwarf seeks red giant for binary relationship.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A48 (Linux/64)        * Origin: 2o fOr beeRS bbS>>20ForBeers.com:1337 (1:105/420)       SEEN-BY: 90/1 105/7 10 11 44 81 420 500 106/201 128/260 135/220 225       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 218/700 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 307 317       SEEN-BY: 229/426 428 470 700 266/512 282/1038 291/111 292/854 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 712/848 5075/35       PATH: 105/420 81 229/426           |
