First, accept hierarchies and Pareto distributions as evidently true. Next, realise that most people are simply cattle and that they don’t posses the capacity to rise above this. Nevertheless, make no presuppositions on this matter and establish systems of perfect mobility in every domain such that true meritocracy is the nature of the state. The beauty of radical elitism is that it propagates society forward too fast for dissent among the populace to set in. It is the optimal way for humans to organise themselves and is the inevitable end state of all political systems, with the only distinction being the quality of said elites between systems.

woah. communism and anarchism are not interchangeable so I don't know why you have used that word. And to answer your second point I think you have a fundamental misconception of communism. It is not a single form of government or state that you can point to and say this is communism. "Communism is a process" A revolution does not take place and boom the next day the country is communist. Thats not how it works they have to do what China is doing and what Russia failed to do. Although the methodology is debatable and is still being debated within the CCP. I am also of the opinion that authoritarianism(aka force) coupled with education if used by the proletariat to remove the bourgeoisie is not a bad thing and should be encouraged.

>"Surplus Value doesn't exist."
This is why arguing with people who haven't read theory is entertaining.
Surplus is that which is above that required to sustain production. So in an agricultural community, surplus is the food grown which is above that required to feed everyone. The rest is traded for other things.

So Marxist surplus value is this: In a factory, or rather in an industrial society, surplus value is the production of commodities (things sold on the market) which is above that required to sustain the production of commodities. So, it is profit and other forms of income and payments which are not necessary to sustain production.

>they are remunerated in line with the precise market value of their labor.

>Surplus is that which is above that required to sustain production.
What the fuck does this mean? Do you really think people make things just for the sake of production... they would go out of business from input costs alone. They have to meet demand.
>surplus is the food grown which is above that required to feed everyone.
Its literally impossible to know how much food an entire population needs to eat, retard. Even then, food is a perishable good. You make more of it in case you lose it. This works for a lot of commodities, especially ones that required to sustain life. You guys are stupid - you really think you can plan an entire economy to meet everyone's "needs" which is impossible only the consumer knows what they want. Figuring that out requires experimentation through market forces.
>So, it is profit and other forms of income and payments which are not necessary to sustain production.
People would just make food out the kindness of their own heart with anyone any incentive. That makes a lot of sense; that's why it didn't work in China or the USSR - people just died from starvation. You really are dumb.

What kind of circular logic is this? Surely you see the discrepancy between people having to work to buy things that they need to live and claiming that there is a choice in choosing to work and signing a contract. In this capitalist society all the means of productions are owned by capitalists and therefore the majority of the proletariat have to exchange their labor in order to survive. Not to mention that the alternative you provide is that they should join the club and work there way up the hierarchy so they too can enjoy the albeit small benefits of being part of the system because lets face it. 99% of people will never reach the pinnacle, ceo positions etc.

Also just because corporations are made up of workers means that their political choices are in the interests of the average worker. The whole point of corporations is to make as much profit as possible. So what would their political outlook look like I wonder?

Anyways, You don't seem like someone who reads at all. Even my capitalist friends wouldn't make arguments that simple and easily refutable go read a fucking book then come back to this board.

When their party is filled with billionaries, when they have higher wealth inequality than the United States, when they literally took away all the rice bowl programs from the Maoist era and banned strikes.

Absolutely worthless definition - you think its hierarchical for tribes to look out for their kin, and for fathers to lead the household. And that this is apparently no different than what we see now - mass immigration and cultural genocide.

>What the fuck does this mean? Do you really think people make things just for the sake of production... they would go out of business from input costs alone. They have to meet demand.
Reread what I wrote. And make sure you understand what definition i am using for the word production. Its as if your purposely being obtuse.
>Its literally impossible to know how much food an entire population needs to eat, retard. Even then, food is a perishable good. You make more of it in case you lose it. This works for a lot of commodities, especially ones that required to sustain life. You guys are stupid - you really think you can plan an entire economy to meet everyone's "needs" which is impossible only the consumer knows what they want. Figuring that out requires experimentation through market forces.
Woah there. I think economic planning like that in regards to communism is stupid. Thats one of the many reasons Russia failed overall. I agree economic planning is stupid. Look to China for a modern day example. capitalist modes of production used to benefit the proletariat. In Xi Jingpings book he talks about this much better than I can but also realises how they as a country need to do better in regards to moving towards a "truer" socialism free of these capitalist modes
That is an entirely different conversation one which cant be spoken about in depth on a mongolian basket weaving forum.

>People would just make food out the kindness of their own heart with anyone any incentive. That makes a lot of sense; that's why it didn't work in China or the USSR - people just died from starvation. You really are dumb.
I didnt say any of that and its like you are purposely misconstruing my points. Anyways the USSR is a unique example and is a result of stupid management and stupid policies which you cant simply ascribe to some arbitrary concept you refer to as "communism". China on the other hand you are wrong about.

YOU KEEP IGNORING THE POINT that surplus value extraction does not exist, you immediately switch and start talking about other different ways in which workers are immiserated to avoid having to address this central point. There is no surplus extraction of value from workers, therefore organising workers in a political movement will *NOT* allow to have "more" of the value that they create. End of story.

You pose a very good question. But to answer that I would first have to give my defintion or opinion on what a good economy. A good economy is one that meets the needs of all its people. Now does any western country do that successfully? No. Poverty is growing in the west the poor are getting poorer etc. However capitalists would look to the total amount of money being made by a country and say yes that is a good economy. If a country has people suffering due to lack of capital how can that economy be good?

It’s true, while the industrial revolution led to a dialectical shift in some countries that allowed revolution to take place, the bourgeoise in the anglosphere reacted with the creation of the sociological field of Public Relations (or just propaganda.) The aim of this was to destroy class consciousness and grant citizens small instances of socialism to abet the issues wrought by the industrial revolution. This style of socialism was called fabianism. Then stuff like consumerism also diluted class consciousness.

When people use the internet today they can discover tons of information confirming their pre-existing worldview. This bolsters their ideological certitude. The result is a feedback loop where people get stuck in an echo chamber, becoming very hostile to information conflicting with their ideology, obviously such people arguing against them are retarded, because all information they find on the internet confirms their position. The way we access information is not at all conducive to grasping the actual truth of things.

Therefore not only is a communist vanguard unable to take hold, NO opposition to the status quo is able to materialize. Therefore, realistically, I only see change possible when this system breaks down sufficiently. That will take a while tho.

honestly though, why in gods name should i become a communist or anarchist or whatever if there is still no actual viable road map to moving from a capitalist to a communist country? without a real tangible plan, you're literally just asking me to put some dictator in power with no actual plan.
at least fascism has a plan, monarchy has a plan, every non-leftist ideology has plan. with leftism its just "oh well i guess we won the revolution and now these guys have supreme power and thats that"
theres no expectations or rubric or anything like that by which we can judge the government by, it literally just becomes "the state just does whatever it wants, dont worry, the workers paradise will come soon" which 9/10 times means shitty discount fascism without any of the actual good stuff that fascist ideologies bring to the table

you have fucking retards like butters and every other commie subhuman running around screeching "bro JUST IMAGINE HOW GOOD AND DIFFERENT THINGS COULD BE THEY COULD BE LIKE TOTALLY GOOD BROOOOO JUST IMAGINE BROOOOOOOOOO" and that seems to be the extent of what leftists here have to offer when people critique their ideas and demand an explanation for how this is meant to be a real viable movement and not just some hippie day dream about perpetually passing a joint around a sweet drum circle and living haply ever after

And they’re also quite socialist. The point of Marx’s dialectical materialism is not simply that capitalism is destroyed and then there’s socialism then communism. Rather, the previous mode of production remains but is improved upon, to the point where it is fundamentally different. So there’s still capitalism, but there’s also socialism to regulate it.

Capitalism absolutely has caused starvation and killed millions. There has also been starvation caused by communism but the millions raised out of poverty outweigh the mistakes made by those governments. So is the war and starvation caused by capitalism outweighed by the good it’s done? You could make a good case it is at least for the 18th and 19th centuries. Marx says as much, that capitalism is an improvement over feudalism. But is the destruction of the last 50 years as caused by the US excusable? I think not. International war has been no benefit to those countries invaded, nor has it been a benefit to the American people, who have seen a continual rise in poverty for decades.

im sorry but your gamble of an assumption did not pay off here, but the only people who starve to death in capitalist nations in anything close to notable amounts are elderly people living in isolated environments or severely mentally ill people, and even then that is in extremely rare circumstances, and it has nothing to do with some sort of economic barrier between them and their food
