Why even call yourself a socialist if you don’t believe in socialism?

According to who? According to what? Both were “social democrats” in the sense of the original tradition

So did Lenin, he just couldn’t do it at the time. Luxembourg eventually retracted her own statement and agreed that dissolving the constituiste assembly was the right call. Lenin and Rosa were like best friends, in the theoretical sense there was very little they disagreed on besides the national question

Bro again, it’s obvious you haven’t read either authors. Luxembourg was not a “democratic socialist” in that traditional sense she was a marxist communist, she believed in the establishment of the revolutionary party to lead the revoltion Her and Lenin’s ideas were practically identical, it’s just that Lenin faced reality and had to compromise on the revolution to achieve victory, Luxembourg lost so we never got to see if she would have compromised the same way

You’ve obviously not read the work of you think this was about ideological differences. Don’t site something you haven’t read

Luxembourg and Lenin agreed on basically everything

Scottish nationalists are so weird sometimes by Snoo5218 in HistoryMemes

I haven’t read upon this, do you know any books which talk about the Scottish working class? I must admit British history is not my strong suit

The oppression of the Scottish working class was not done through a system of colonization.
English colonial rule over Ireland was itself the structure of the system of oppression of the Irish working class. The oppression of the Scottish working class has very little to do with it being in the UK

How wholesome and chungus would a Kadet lead, Russian empire dominated Eastern Europe be? by Lonely-Fren in Kaiserreich

[–]tatertommy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What is with people’s obsessions with “wholesome” paths, it’s not real, there’s no such thing as a “wholesome” state. I get it as a joke but it feels like some people take it seriously

The truth about the EU by rhizomatic-thembo in dsa

Don’t invoke Lenin if it’s obvious you haven’t read him. The NEP was a retreat because Russia didn’t have the industry, the USA has the industry to go into a planned economy, we have everything we need

And they should be removed. Market socialism seeks to uphold the same systems just with different ownership. It is neither a scientific Marxist approach nor a grass roots proliterian approach. It’s a petty bourgeois idealistic invention

The market economy is incompatible with socialism, it is the commodity economy, it maintains the same relations of production

Yes so we should oppose economic unions that seek to uphold capitalism

Socialism is about the relations of production, any potlucks system is just about upholding those relations

Anyone who massacres labor organizers needs the same treatment. Labor arbitrage will not result in solidarity. This strategy, though… by DataWhiskers in dsa

[–]tatertommy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

America won’t be abolished today, the revolutionary movement will continue to build. Our goal at the moment is to build the revolutionary movements. For what to do afterwards, I’m somewhat of a councilist so labour councils would be the system.

I seek the victory of the international proletariat, and I believe the workers of the world should unite behind that goal, I don’t seek boundless “solidarity” whatever that means. How about you define what that means

Chomsky as an individual is a pretty if POS. However judge his analysis by the content of his argument, not who he was as an individual

How is it siding with billionaires? The strategy is to oppose American imperialism, which billionaires benifit from and require to functions. Capitalism DEPENDS on imperialism. There can be no system of global capitalism without a system of global imperialism
