I remember reading that Marxism was falsifiable, specifically predicting that capitalism cannot exist without a coercive state and therefore the existence of anarcho-capitalism would falsify it.

Is there any truth to this?

anarcho capitalism doesn't exist except as a fantasy. the rich are made richer by the laws of the land. this is unsurprising as they write those laws

i'm finding this quite easy, i guess in part because i'm a fast type but also because i have a coherent mental model of the world
yeah the reason anarcho-capitalism can't exist according to marxist analysis is that capitalism is a class society, and the state is a device which mediates class conflict such that one class can exploit another without the relationship devolving (evolving?) into open war. if there could somehow be capitalism without a state then foundational marxist assumptions about both capitalism and the state would be proven wrong

so what was education in the USSR like? Was "dropping out of high school" a thing? What were the post-secondary options? Was post-secondary placement based more on test scores or personal connections or what? Did university students prank the commissar-dean by rebuilding his lada on the roof? Was there a frat/party culture at university at all? Student athletics surely existed but what sports and to what degree did society care?

There’s a good book called socialist planning by Michael Ellman which explains how everything in the USSR worked https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/socialist-planning/80A1C337AD2ACF7BF4365BA2A1090363#fndtn-information

Me and Smythe discussed it and we both believe reopening this thread serves no point as Flavius is not going to be demodded.

it's like trying to prove that futurism is a more correct painting style than cubism, it's a useless question from the start

cubism: communist gnome guy figures out how to represent change and time with paint in 2 dimensions

futurism: a bunch of nerds create word clouds and get hosed up by world war 1, become founding members of the italian fascist movement
