Like I said, resources are allocated BASED ON NEED. It’s not “everyone get the same amount of everything”. People who need more get more and those who need less will take less.

In a catastrophe, where needs>resources, obviously people who need more will get more but maybe not as much as they’re used to. That way people who need less can still get some of what they need. And let’s not pretend like capitalism would do a better job of making sure people have their needs met in a catastrophe. In capitalism, the rich always end up with more than they need (even in a catastrophe). Keep in mind that when I say “need” here, I’m including both basic survival requirements AND a little bit of extra for what a person might want.

As far as your last point goes, that is probably more likely to happen in capitalism. In a society where communism is viable, the majority of the population or community would be able to point out and deal with bad behavior because the social bonds are stronger.

I think the difference is, you think I want socialism/ communism to be implemented RIGHT NOW in our society as it exists today. Obviously it’s not feasible for people to share without force in our culture right now. I’m talking about socialism as an idealistic idea for a society in the far future after cultivating a culture of mutual understanding and a culture that would cause socialism/communism to be viable without government intervention.

In a specifically communist society, you would be able to have as much meat as you need. You wouldn’t have to pay for it. It would just be understood that you and your family needed more, so you would take as much as you need and nothing else. Same goes for every good, like medicine. Communism is not “everyone owns everything” or “everyone gets the same amount of everything”. Meat that you hunted isn’t private property; private property refers to capital. That would be personal property, a final good for individual consumption. In a communist society, sharing your personal property is a choice. Again, I know this is idealistic. It’s not meant to be established right now, but in a possible future in which we have the proper culture to do so.

Socialism and communism are not “when the government does stuff”. They have no correlation to government control.

Go ahead and re-read my definition of socialism. Now tell me, what about that has anything to do with totalitarianism?

Has there ever been a society in which the labor providers have equal say in the operation of their firm as the capital owners? No? Well, then there has never been a socialist (and therefore, communist as communism is a form of socialism) country, as no country has ever met the criteria for socialism. In other words, no country has ever met the definition of socialism, so no socialist country has ever existed.

@indianaconservative the definition of socialism is when everyone who contributes resources has an equal say over what the firm does with those resources. The common phrasing for its definition is “when the workers own the means of production” What about that implies that it’s not a free market system? BTW, if I don’t know what I’m taking about, please, point out the faults.

@its-b3witched both Africa (a continent, not a country) and China are capitalist. Africa has been capitalist since European colonization, as the main goal of said colonization was to enable mercantilism. They just retained the capitalist economy after the Europeans left. As for China, they may call themselves “socialist” but they do not fit the definition of socialism I gave above. They are technically fascist, a far right form of capitalism.

An in depth explanation since most capitalists are dumbasses:

Let’s start with basic definitions.

There are 4 economic resources in any given market system:

Land: Any natural resource, such as physical land, airspace, crops, and animals.

Labor: Kind of self explanatory; physical, mental, and/or emotional work done by persons.

Capital: Goods used as a method to produce other goods, such as machinery.

Entrepreneurship: Ideas and risk taking done to expand profits.

Alright, now let’s talk about types of economic systems:

Capitalism: A free market system in which capital owners/ entrepreneurs are placed at a higher level of importance in the firm than laborers. This is inherently UNDEMOCRATIC because the amount of profit and influence an individual gets is not proportional to the AMOUNT of resources they give to a firm. 

Let’s take Amazon as an example. Jeff Bezos initially contributed the resources of capital and entrepreneurship. However, he no longer contributes entrepreneurship, or at least much less than he did before. However, he is paid much, much more than, say, the blue collar workers he employed, who contribute MORE resources NOW to the company (in the form of physical and emotional labor).

Consumerism: The culture born of post WWII capitalism in which corporations and other forms of large firms have control over the daily lives of the individual.

Socialism: A FREE MARKET SYSTEM in which the laborers OWN THE CAPITAL and HAVE EQUAL INFLUENCE OVER THE FIRM. Socialism is NOT “when the government does stuff”. Socialism IS NOT excessive government influence over the economy.  Socialism is DEMOCRATIC because, in a socialist system, the amount of profit and influence you have in a firm is directly correlated to the amount of resources you contribute to the firm.

Let’s reform Amazon: Blue collar workers who work 300 6 hour shifts a year, office workers who work the same amount of time, and Jeff Bezos, who contributed the resource of capital, will get paid the same amount as they contribute the same amount of resources to the firm. In turn, they have some control over the capital that Jeff Bezos initially contributed, as their contributions were just as valuable (different types of resources, but not one is greater than another). Since they ALL receive pay and collectively control the net resources of the firm in correspondence to the amount of resources they contribute, it is DEMOCRATIC.

Now that you know the REAL definition of socialism, let’s talk about the stuff I talked about in the original post.

The consolidation of power and wealth in few hands leads to lobbying and government influence: Since capitalism places capital at a higher value than labor (hence the name capitalism), the few that own capital will have the vast majority of the control over the country’s economic power. They also have exorbitant amounts of money. As we all know, humans are inherently greedy and therefore love stuff (aka money that can buy them stuff). So, these large corporations that have A LOT of control in our country will do something called lobbying. This involves using their power and money to strongly influence our economic (and social!) policies in a way that will “earn” them more profit. This is inherently UNDEMOCRATIC as a minority of people are speaking for the entire population. Here are some of the effects:

The cold war and post- WWII wars: The main reason for the US opposing the USSR wasn’t because they were socialists. In case you can’t understand why the USSR wasn’t socialist, and you’re too dumb to apply the definition of socialism I just gave you, HMU. The US opposed the USSR because they threatened the US as a world power, especially the power of our economy and our position in the UN (another undemocratic institution, but I digress) and World Bank. In countries that we fought the cold war micro-wars in, such as Iran and Egypt, we literally staged coups over DEMOCRATICALLY elected leaders, just because their new policies had a negative effect on the profits of the massive corporate powers that controlled our government.

Native American erasure and eradication: Native Americans possessed resources that corporations wanted, so those corporations used their political power to gain those resources in any way possible.

Big pharma, drug addiction, climate change, climate change denialism, disabled workers being paid less than a dollar an hour, lack of school funding (leading to drug addiction, intergenerational trauma, school shootings, and climate change denial), climate change, and the legal exorbitant prices of healthcare: These are all government policies that were influenced by corporate powers in order to raise their profits.

Capitalism leads to the exploitation of laborers: Because capitalism places a higher value on capital than labor, it is inherent to capitalism that laborers are exploited (as in, they do not receive compensation equal to the amount of profit their contributions generate). This causes:

World poverty and starvation: those in the position of extreme poverty (generally) work extremely hard, and if they were compensated properly, they would not be in their position.

Lack of healthcare, drug addiction, homelessness, 1st world poverty, intergenerational trauma: see previous.

Slavery: slaves contribute MASSIVE amounts of the resource of labor, but are regarded as capital by their owners. If capital was regarded as to be equally controlled by the laborers, slaves wouldn’t, well, be slaves. Slavery is ONLY possible in a capitalist society.

Sweat shops, disabled workers being paid less than a dollar an hour, and child labor: see previous.

If your head is too far up your ass to comprehend any of my points, feel free to ask for help.

I will not be able to respond for up to a week for MEDICAL reasons, but rest assured, I will address your point.

Fun fact: you literally cannot download tor from google web browser anymore. It will show a “connection not secure” warning but will not give you an option to proceed

Sus.

Guys, this is really important. Until now, Google collected your data, but did not attach your name to it. Now, they can, and will. This new thing they’re doing will allow them to collect your data across searches, your email, Youtube, Maps, Google+, and all their affiliates, and build a complete profile of YOU.

If that doesn’t bother you, maybe this will: they own and can sell all that data, including anything you create and send (artists and writers, take note).

There is a way you can opt out of this ridiculousness. It’s described in the link, but if you’re still not sure about it, please ask me and I’ll guide you through how to turn all this off.

This is my wake-up call. I’ll be locking down my devices and scaling back what I put through the big Google machine, which means you may see less of me across social media. I’m going to keep researching this, but it may mean in order to keep the rights to my creative work, I’ll have to keep it out of Google’s hands. And that may take some doing.
