Does anyone have a link to the review from another publication in the 90s where the reviewer points out that the Economist is only popular because it's got the reputation of an old established British institution with great institutional knowledge but in reality it's written by dorks in their 20s who studied business at university and look things up on wikipedia?

My understanding is that communism is a particular subset of socialism where there is no money, class, or state. Which means that communism is only a hypothetical situation at this time.

Well no, the initial post which kicked this off (before the low effort troll) said it: The goal of socialism is communism. Socialism is the creation of proletarian democracy where workers control the means of production as well as state power and use the state against the bourgeoisie. As more socialist states emerge and the bourgeois class disappears entirely then the state (I. E. A weapon of class power against other classes, not an overarching democratic organisational structure) disappears and so communism develops from the organised peace and abundance.

Isn't democratic centralism just the principle behind a caucus, or am I missing something.

Depends on the internal culture; it can be an agreement to act in accordance with party policy and accept the results of all party decisions no matter what you argued for before the vote (so you go out and argue the line in public, vote the way the party decided to vote, etc) rather than just taking a step back and letting the winners get on with it, however with insular lovely groups with bad internal democracy it's a bludgeon to use against anyone who starts to make waves by doing or theorising something that the entrenched party leaders and staff don't want to happen.

true. in fairness, though, they also tend to make the "USSR was state capitalist" argument, which is basically the socialist version of "that's crony capitalism"

Not really. Crony capitalism is obviously capitalism with capitalists acting according to the principles of capitalism and capturing the state to advance their own interests which is somehow bad sportsmanship or something according to liberals who criticise it but still like capitalism. State capitalism argues that the workers weren't actually in control, the party was and the party became estranged from the workers, meaning it wasn't socialism.

Perhaps it would have been clearer to specify "the way libertarians use..." etc. I stand by classifying it as a "no true Scotsman" dodge, though.

Well then was the USSR socialist from start to finish then, or did it stop being socialist at some point before it stopped being the USSR? Obviously in a general argumentative sense Trots use state capitalism or deformed workers state or something to talk about how awesome and socialist the revolution was and then when all the inexcusably bad stuff happened it wasn't socialist anymore but if we're trying to analyse forms then we have to say 'X is Y and not Z' or we just turn everything into a blur. If I'm chatting with a bunch of people who I believe actually know theory then I might talk about the USSR potentially being a kind of authoritarian socialism, actually existing socialism, etc and giving an in depth review of its merits and failures while theorycrafting but talking to people generally then anything that comes across as 'I want to redo the USSR without any changes' is not particularly a winning argument when discussing what a socialist state will be, and if you can't say that the USSR is socialism then what was it?

Aeolius posted:

if by "workers owning the means of production" you mean something like distributism (you ol' chestertonian, you), then no, the USSR wasn't that. but that's definitely not the sort of socialism Marx was advocating. the point is collective ownership with broad planning to eliminate the "anarchy of production" that inheres in capitalism

i can see how many people mistake the soviet government for a new "class." this is, i think, the reason it's absolutely essential to understand dialectical materialism, or critical realism, or really any perspective (generally one or another flavor of realism) that takes into account stratification and emergence. it helps to parse things like the distinction between base and superstructure, which you're now touching upon

in a bourgeois state, the power of the capitalist class is concentrated in the economic stratum (base) while the political level (superstructural) supervenes upon it. this political one in the last instance tends to express the will of the bourgeoisie, since they either participate directly in it or influence it, either way via the aforementioned power. nevertheless, the political world still has some degree of domain autonomy, such that it's not merely reducible to "lots of applied capitalist power" — it is, all advantages aside, also a field for class struggle and even individual ambitions. and in much the same way, the political supervened upon the economic in the USSR, shaping the broad strokes of economic activity, constrained but not necessarily determined by economic relations

what you bill as "another class" (ambiguity of "effectively" aside) is in fact political leadership, which the USA has as well — as has every state that has existed or will exist. but when Marxists speak of class, we're speaking of something much more specific than "group of people who wield some manner of power"; we're describing a social relation that lives at the economic level — the basic relations of production, by which a society reproduces itself from moment to moment, day to day, year to year, and so on.

so, there's a category error at play, here. case in point: those in the capitalist world are ruled by both political elites, who tend to be beholden to a capital class, and said capital class itself. the removal of class doesn't "empower" political elites; it leaves them.

But merging economic and political control, while the goal of socialism, doesn't guarantee that a system with merged economic and political control IS socialism. Or if does, then 'socialism' is far too broad for me to support without qualifiers. You need that inclusive democracy to ensure that that merged control is used for the needs of the proletariat AND that it's operating in a manner which demonstrates it's superiority over a class based system.

Value does not exist independent of human perception and is indeed subject to it. Value cannot be assigned to an object as a property of the object. It doesn't matter how much work is put into an object, what it was bought for, or whatever materials were used in its production. The value of an object is simply what another is willing to pay for it, full stop.

Keep listening, at no point is value said to be a physical property of the object. It's a reflection of input costs needed for production to continue, mixed with a markets valuation of the finished item, compared with all the other things that could be bought. It's a completely human-orientated calculation.

Hell in the little discussion we had about the USSR being state capitalism one of the major points against it being capitalist was the lack of labour markets meaning that the LTV wasn't in effect.

Friendly Humour posted:

Neither did I say that I thought labour value was a physical property of the object. It's still assigned as a property of the object itself, not as a property of the person viewing the object.

No but value in an LTV doesn't rely on an individual, it relies on the market and production, groups of people interacting. In this society of differing production methods and different desires there becomes a value for the commodity as there becomes an averagely efficient level of labour needed to make it. You can say it's in the object or in the society but it's the same thing.

quote:

A person trying to determine how much he wants to pay for the object in question doesn't factor in any of the things that I've so far heard of.

You seem to be a marginalist: you think people use their budgets in a utility maximising way and shop accordingly. Why does a seller care for the money of the buyer, and how much do they know how to charge?

Friendly Humour posted:

Nigga pls, marginalism is so idiotic I don't even know where to begin with. It treats people as logical computers and it's really really stupid and its application by neoliberal asswipes has never ever had anything but utterly destructive results. My only point about evaluation being inseparable from human perception is that nothing trumps it. An object can definately be extremely costly to produce in terms of labour time and investments and large amount of exploitation, but if nobody wants to buy at the price asked, that value is completely meaningless. I'm just saying that the price of an object and profitability seems completely disconnected from its labour value. I'm saying that objects aren't valuable as themselves, only as objects of desire.

I don't think any of this actually contradicts LTV though, because yes anyone can value anything how they like but a society doesn't function according to each of their subjective valuations. You're right that just working on something doesn't necessarily add value to it: society judges the product based on actual demand and that judgement values it, I think either Das Capital or Harveys reader on it explains that versions of the LTV had always said raw labour = value and so had never really worked properly and it was Marx who said that for work to produce value it has to be work which produces a need for society (hence the term socially necessary labour time to produce something being what adds value).

I wonder what was causing the increase in inequality from 1300 until the black death, was there a general movement towards centralising authority under the monarchs at the time, rather than strong aristocrats?

Edit: That was the Little Ice Age, so population was static or falling mostly, maybe it really was just consolidation due to untimely deaths?

The latest research in medieval studies indicates that there was considerable growth among the nobility, clergy, and merchant classes, because serfs got bupkis. In a system where everyone is obligated pay dues to their lord, or tithes to the church, then it's easy to accumulate wealth even in primitive conditions of production.

Ah so the creation of new ranks created greater exploitation of the serf (rather than splitting the same amount), meaning a more divided ruling class to war among itself as the surplus declined due to the little ice age before being completely undone in western europe by the drop in population from the same and disease.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:

Because of the primitive conditions of production, Europe was actually overpopulated before the Black Death.

Since serfs were tied to a holding by law, the nobility could jack up rents high enough to the point that serfs were earning subsistence. After the Black Death it became impossible to enforce those laws, which essentially meant that the peasants were free to go where they pleased. If they didn't like the rule of a particular landlord, they could always pack up and leave because there weren't enough goons to stop them. So to attract laborers, rents had to be drastically lowered. It permanently weakened the nobility's stranglehold on the countryside in most places, but the inequality starts climbing back up after Europe stabilizes and the population steadily grows - which reintroduces a labor surplus.

And yet the complete opposite happens in Eastern Europe, which is why they still had peasants in Russia in 1917!

By what measure was Europe overpopulated though?

The Kurds are a haunting question for me (although probably not a very deep one, otherwise I'd do more research) because they're clearly fighting a war of national liberation (in Syria and Turkey at least) and deserve at least critical support but then they even have the guts to properly advocate for serious communalist foundations of their state while somehow also attracting support from the USA and I don't really know how to square that in a regional or global political sense.

"Why the potatoes are so plentiful that if they were to be all piled together then they'd reach the feet of God in the Heavens above!" The peasant exclaimed and was harshly rebuked by the commissar,

"Stop your foolish bourgeois behaviour, everyone knows that God is imaginary!"

A Western journalist has received a rare pass to travel in the USSR soon after the end of the Second World War and is keen to try and speak with the locals. Eventually he strikes up a conversation with a local shopkeeper and, taking a large risk, asks him what he thinks of Comrade Stalin. The man quickly shushes him and leaves the shop, beckoning for the journalist to follow. They travel separately and slowly across town to a quiet street and the shopkeeper walks into an alley. The journalist follows hesitantly and walks up to the man who checks over their shoulders one last time and then leans in close and whispers,
