- TulliusCicero 3y agoThose things can both be true to an extent. You can have a market economy without democracy.

- CWuestefeld 3y agoare all those things mutually exclusive?
- cowpig 3y agoI think it depends whether you're talking about the philosophy or Karl Marx, or the philosophy of dictatorships that kind of started from some "Marxist" roots and kept the name
- Kamq 3y ago> about the philosophy or Karl Marx I don't think laymen really ever are referring to this. And if they do, they will usually clarify (or it will be obvious because it's in the context on something like the book Kapital). Same with the term communist. Unless you're in a philosophy discussion, people mean the real-world factions that called themselves this and controlled (or still control) countries. Those are the only communists to have enough power to be relevant to most laymen.

- everfree 3y agoAmerica isn’t “real socialism” either, it’s capitalism.
