- derelicta 3y agoWell the former is the end goal in both cases. It's just lefists can't answer the following question in a single unified voice: what goes away first? The State, or Capitalism?
- TotalCrackpot 3y agoIn USSR and other Marxist-Leninist experiments arguably both the state and capitalism prevailed. The relation of workers to their workplaces didn't actually change - still taking orders, this time not from the owner of the workplace but from the state beaurocrat. So workers actually didn't have control over means of production, just this time the political class and the owner class got combined into one class - the class of state beaurocracy.
- TheCoelacanth 3y agoA lot of people referred to the USSR's economic system as "state capitalism"[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_capitalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_capitalism
- dukeyukey 3y agoThere's also Georgist Liberalism, which honestly isn't a big sterp away from where we are now. Basicaslly it just means tweaking the tax code.
