Captain Billy Pissboy posted:I'm sure this has been asked but does anyone have recommendations for books about how the Soviet economy and government worked? farm to factory is really good, as is economic problems of socialism in the ussr. human rights in the soviet union, is the red flag flying? and socialism betrayed are also pretty short and info-dense. that last one sounds like a trotskyist jeremiad from the title but don't let that discourage you, it's good.

Yeah, it looked exactly like Split 3 but you can never be sure. The neighbourhood was the subject of one episode of a Croatian documentary series (Slumbering concrete/Betonski spavači) which deals with ex-Yu architecture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkDH8bYNy7k No english subs but you can look at the pretty buildings.

are there a bunch of succinct reasons that India never experienced a revolution? like off the top of my head i would assign blame towards neoliberal dipshits like the Ghandi Family as wells as religious limpdicks like the RSS but they're just a bunch of guillotine-bait losers but I've definitely spoken to congress people who earnestly believe in socialism and obviously the CPI is still a potent force in the right regions what are the broader reasons

Larry Parrish posted:i can never figure out how market socialism is meaningfully different than just regular Soviet communism or straight up liberal capitalism. Market economy where the firms are socialist, i.e. worker-owned. Also to avoid rent-seeking all non-residential land would probably have to be publicly held and you'd have some kind of subsidization of costs to starting a business to replace investment.

They divided both to conquer each.”

the take away i got from this is that market socialism is soviet communism when you dont want to use the c word because you're a pussy afraid of conflicting with liberals.

yeah, and it wouldn't surprise me if the caste system was the contrivance of some Indian royal family way back when to keep the peasant rabble in line. I bet someone has written about that, does anyone ITT have any marxist analyses of the caste system an its origins? that would probably be worth knowing about

Jewel Repetition posted:I mean actual market socialism, not socdem market socialism would be better than the current system. The issue is that market socialists do not want to go further than de-feudalizing the market. It's not a transitional stage for communism for market socialists. That's a problem. Mature capitalists economies need less market and more planning.
