Yes its the outdated imperial capitalist system your talking bout here give every citizen a granted basic income handout of say 2200$ a month at the cost of shutting down all propaganda channels and handouts to big businesses .

Again with that bullshit , after world war 2 USSR had to rebuild , USA did fine with all infrastruicture remaining intact.
However what happend under soviet rule was revisionism that led to most primal form of capitalism.
However USA did introduce some reforms that were kinda Hybrid-socialist back in the 50's.
Your saying that state control over the efficiency of production both for public and private sector like it is a bad thing .
I beg to differ , China has not the Supply & demand policy , it has deliver no matter how small amount policy , remember when your favourite products in the supermarket dissapear and you hear about "oh its supply and demand"

How quaint....do items actually disappear from supermarkets in Bulgaria? Must be some kind of magician in back of the aisles?
I hear people say that when the revolution comes, they are afraid that we will have to line up for food in the USSA just like they did in the USSR but I'm sure that's not true; why wouldn't it be just like it's always been here....easy to find what you want, you have only to decide on the quality and price.

PROG OFF
I actually agree with you about handing everyone $2200 at the beginning of the month or even 20,000 at the beginning of the year...it would be much less expensive than what we are paying for entitlements now.
Every time you give a "fact" about the US....minimum wage of 2 dollars, things disappearing from store shelves, "socialist" reforms during the most conservative decade of the 1900s...you really have us rolling in the aisles, laughing our behinds off. Have you ever been here, or do you just get your information from the Peoples' Weekly World?

Soviet Russia didn't work because they started with a poor country. This makes perfect sense. Much like Lottery winners who always maintain and increase there riches after winning. I am unsure of the statistical evidence for this "fact" but I'm sure it must be true because it seems as though it would be true.
And then there is the "New Communism" argument. Again I am unsure what is new about this New Communism but I am sure it is significant.
Well, there you have it, I'm on board. I'm a sucker for sound thinking and evidentiary proof.
Oh. My. God. There were no breadlines in the Ukraine during Stalin's time because there was no bread! I hear they lined up for 6-week-old Infant on the Barbie, though....ЗимнийСолдат wrote: You seem to forget that the supermarket shortages were introduced during Kruschev / Jivkov , the Stalin / Georgi Dimitrov era didn't have that stuff , my relatives keep telling me about that the Georgi Dimitrov era was the best that happend in Peoples Republic Of Bulgaria , dont forget that the nomenklatura system still exists in Russia but only the Leading dictators Putin/Medvedev use it , this time the stores sure may have everything like Stalin era but most of the people are living in misery in a third world standard , this never existed in late Stalin era.
It's not bad....until you run out of other people's money. Sweden is doing well by the way because it is gradually becoming less and less socialist. And I live about 30 miles from Canada. Used to be a nice place. Everyone there comes here to go to the hospital if they need it.ЗимнийСолдат wrote:You keep talking about socialism as if it is something bad , look at Sweden , Canada , Norway they introduced some beurocratic style of socialism or their own implementation of it , for Sweden it did wonders people didnt have to stay around in that same 3rd world style management that still tortures most of the Russian folks.

Many of my friends emmigrated from the Soviet Union in the 60s and 70s. They tell a very different story about bread lines.

Remember, supply and demand isn't a choice. Even the Chinese can't overcome the laws that stem from human nature. Look at it this way. Say you go out to a nightclub or out to a discotheque to dance . There is one beautiful woman there and about 60 guys, of which you are one. Everyone is paying the beautiful woman a lot of attention, understandably, since these happen to be straight guys and each of them would very much like the company of this woman, away from the others. Doesn't matter if it's in Beijing or Prague or Milwaukee or Moscow, if the surrounding government is socialist or capitalist; if you want to make that woman pay attention to you, you are going to have to probably do more than buy her a drink. Why? Because men are in HIGH SUPPLY for her. She can pretty much take her pick, because since the supply is high, the demand is low. She doesn't have to do much to get what she wants.

Now, say it's the same club you walk into, but now there are four or five men, and there are 60 beautiful women. I mean, really hot. You probably would not want to "pay" as much in terms of your time and advertising for your masculine attributes on one of them, because they are looking for guys and guys are now in SHORT SUPPLY. Each woman, on the other hand, might be willing to part with a little bit more of their attention and perhaps even insinuate the possibility of favors after the dance in order to wrest one of the guys from the other women. YOU are now in high demand.

When my friends lived in Russia and Ukraine, bread (if they could find it) was cheap but good blue jeans (only on sale on the black market) were very expensive, and could only be bought with US dollars, which of course were hard to come by. Bread was in high supply/low demand; US jeans were in low supply/high demand. People were willing to, and did, pay a lot more....up to and including risking being caught and whatever penalty (or bribe) they'd have to pay.

Царевна wrote: OK, but how do you get the right socializing priorites and values into human beings? Let me know when you find out; as a psychotherapist I'd appreciate a way to change people into automatons who don't care anything about their rewards for doing anything. By the way....if you want something, that means there is a demand for it. Destroying product in order to artificially lower supply and increase demand isn't capitalism. It's stupidity. Capitalism is a fair exchange of goods....you want something, I provide you with it, you give me something that I value in return for it. Both parties must benefit in order for true capitalism to exist. If you destroy product, you are killing the goose that lays the golden egg. You can profit by providing something that is in low demand, but you can also profit by being a trustworthy supplier of something that is in high demand and that you can guarantee will be of high quality and always available.

You figured it out! You win the internets!You keep talking about socialism as if it is something bad
Yes indeed, look at them.look at Sweden , Canada
and here is the real problem with socialism/communism. Give the government that much "responsibility" (aka "power") and they invariably abuse it. "Any government that can give you everything you need, has the power to take it all away"And btw the bread lines started with Gorbachov's rule , that bastard introduced even water shortages he was ruthless...
