I seem to remember going to check it out and saw some charming post about how trans people should kill themselves which rather put me off but I hear it's nothing like that now? its good and the few people with terrible opinions get shamed out of posting whenever they rear their heads

BoneMonkey posted:So a friend of mine has been talking to me about his political beliefs, and I have questioned him down from a Tory to a libdem. the way it's worked historically is there's a system of cooperatives on the firm level. elected decision-making boards composed of workers, managers and government officials handle day-to-day affairs and big company-wide meetings are held on a regular basis for accountability and the airing of grievances and concerns. managers do what managers do under capitalism but don't set their own rates of pay so are generally compensated at a similar level to their "laborer" peers. in lieu of profit making it into the pockets of capitalists, bonuses are shared equally or distributed on merit, depending on what the cooperative decides. on a higher level than that, there's your local government and that's where party politics comes in. your ruling party in a socialist country typically has huge membership, millions and millions of people, who come from everywhere but are mostly workers. you join the party to run for office, to pursue higher education, to generally have a louder voice in the day-to-day workings of the state. local governments do the things local governments do under capitalism and more — mediate conflict, handle housing (free or ridiculously cheap), health care and education, the nuts and bolts of administrating and distributing the material gains that would normally be profit back to the people. this comes in the form of the free stuff we all like, plus subsidized travel, culture, low prices on necessities, etc. you go up a rung higher and you get to national politics (there's provincial level stuff but it's not that interesting), which is where all the scary dictatorship things come in. there's committees and legislative bodies, ministries and bureaus to handle larger-scale affairs of state, macroeconomic plans, foreign policy and so forth. because this is the nerve center there's also a lot of ideological work. this isn't 100 percent universal, since there were and are lots of different approaches and in the 21st century we don't know if socialism has to look exactly like this now. it probably doesn't. there's books about all this, political economies that get into the nitty gritty of how things shook out in the real world under socialism without falling in the easy trap of great man tyrant theory. i can link them if you're interested but they're not short or pithy so if you're interested in articulating it to someone else without boring them to death it'll take some time

abolishing private property is the sort of thing that has the kind of widespread repercussions where you'd need a police force of some kind, if only to fight counter-revolution
