Churchill was an aristocrat trust fund baby on banker payroll who smoked cigars, was a drunk, wore a literal tophat and massacred civillians by the millions? But you love him.
Why does leftpol worship jewish landlords and bankers and CEOs instead?
Lets discuss how you are basically just dumb good goys for jewish capitalist elites while ignoring the actual most successful socialist hero and martyr.

Imagine siding with a fat aristocrat who spent himself into bankruptcy but his banker friends bailed him out so they could make him kill off the socialist wonder known as Hitlers Germany.

Truly sad.

I hate Churchill too, but do you actually believe the Axis was the "lesser evil" in WWII? You have to realize it didn't only include Nazi Germany but Imperial Japan who was arguably even worse.

Most of their problems can literally be solved if they lifted?
Planet fitness membership costs 10 bucks. Putting down a fork is free.
I don't understand how anyone can be depressed about their state of being when lifting is literally the easiest and most accessible way of immediately improving yourself . Literally most of my problems vanished once I started lifting

Paranoia is characterized by irrational and excessive feelings of persecution, mistrust, jealousy, threat, or self-importance. When a person is paranoid, they feel completely overwhelmed by their suspicions, despite any evidence that rationalizes these feelings.

For example, they might be afraid they are being poisoned, that their partner is cheating on them, or that someone is watching them, even though they do not have any proof that these things are actually happening.

Paranoia exists on a continuum—from everyday mild paranoia that is experienced without a diagnosable mental health condition to drug-induced or psychotic paranoia. Anyone from teens to older adults can experience paranoia.

The treatment for paranoia usually includes a combination of prescription medications and psychotherapy, but the specifics will depend on your needs, including any co-occurring mental health conditions that you have.

Paranoia does not look the same in every person who experiences it. People can be paranoid about different things, which determines the situations in which they may act paranoid.

Ok, so how is that antithetical to suggesting that Lenin argued that a DOTP may have commodity production within it, if it means allowing multiple MOPs to be used to advance towards communism?

>Lenin is essentially arguing that society can have multiple modes of production and yet still advance towards communism
Hasn't this been disproven by the history of the 20th century?

Linear programming has proven to be a feasible way of maximizing outputs given certain inputs, but it can't, for example, decide whether people would be better served building more cargo ships, more tractors, or more consumer cars using the same metal. It cannot decide how to organize the use of said materials(like for example, build one big plant or several smaller ones). How does socialism manage opportunity cost? What mechanisms under socialism(cyber or otherwise) are in place to supplement this shortcoming?

If I had to guess, I would say that this mechanism would be filled in for by the Mass Line as Maoists swear by if not a pseudo-market like Cockshott proposes. I would appreciate recommendations of further material on this topic(though I will say that the people in /cybersoc/ were extremely helpful with their takes on the topic, and I cannot deny their critique of Hayek, which compels me to study further into leftism)(Spam IP)(merge into chatgpt general)

you mean the thread? Yeah

>>2041
>Who gets to decide what the calculator thinks better served means?
What the fuck are you talking about.
It maximizes or minimizes some output given a list of constraints. There is no ambiguity or matter of opinion. It literally calculates the best possible configuration given the information it has.
The vector of products you decide upon comes from political and economic considerations from other systems, but this is unrelated to linear programming and not a weakness of it. The economic calculation problem has nothing to do with what op is talking about.

>>2044
>It maximizes or minimizes some output
Who decides what outputs to prioritize?
>given a list of constraints.
Who defines the constraints?
> It literally calculates the best possible configuration
Define best possible configuration.
The capitalists have a simple answer on how to answer all of this, market signals.
>The economic calculation problem has nothing to do with what op is talking about.
It does because people like to pretend that linear algebra paper refutes ECP when it really doesn't.

>>2045
>Who decides what outputs to prioritize?
The planners dummy. Buy this has nothing to do with the algorithm or the "ecp"
>It does because people like to pretend that linear algebra paper refutes ECP when it really doesn't.
The only thing the ecp actually has any claim is exactly the time complexity of the calculation of a whole economy. Getting the information is no issue, it's available in the companies so getting it or better is a no brainer.

>>2045
>It does because people like to pretend that linear algebra paper refutes ECP when it really doesn't
the ECP is a statement of faith so there is little to "refute". when you've defined "economic calculation" to be trade, of course socialism can't do economic calculation. the entire point of the project is to get away from trade, to get away from the commodity fetish
>>2046
>implying there should be such a job as planner
do not obscure what are essentially political decisions behind some unelected experts. vidrel by zachariah and hardin seems to imply around 22:22 that the goals can be different in each geographical area, depending on political aims
>The only thing the ecp actually has any claim is exactly the time complexity of the calculation of a whole economy
I'd say the local knowledge problem is still relevant. but ancaps don't realize it cuts both ways. after all, who knows most about the process of production - the owners or the workers?

The common charge of hypocrisy against wealthy people with leftist views (“Champaign socialists” “limousine liberals”) now has a new twist, as the growing number of billionaires in China, or the purported wealth of leaders in Bolivarian countries, is presented as proof that socialism is simply a myth utilized by power hungry politicians.

These very common charges are based on a misconception, and fundamental lack of understanding about what socialism really is, and why it is different from capitalism. Furthermore, if one looks into the lives and activities of various figures labelled as “Socialist Oligarchs” and sees how they acquire their wealth, and how they function in their respective society, it is apparent that they are quite a different breed than the western profiteers they are compared to.

What is Socialism? What is Capitalism?

In order to understand why the phrase “socialist billionaire” is not an oxymoron, it is important to clarify the difference between the two economic systems. Contrary to popular cliché socialism and communism are not “everyone getting paid the same wage no matter how hard they work.”

Marxism defines capitalism as “the anarchy of production.” Mao Zedong referred to “profits in command.” Frederick Engels wrote “under capitalism, the means of production only function as preliminary transformation into capital.” Capitalism is a system in which production is carried out, and society operates in order to make profits for a group of owners. The centers of economic power are controlled by a small group of wealthy owners, who use them to enrich themselves.

Socialism, on the other hand, is an economy where a central plan, not the chaos of the market, has taken charge. In socialist countries, key centers of economic power, banking, natural resources, major industries, are in the hands of the state. The state utilizes its control over these “means of production” to rationally plan the economy, and increase the living standards. Socialist countries like the former Soviet Union, or contemporary China, have “Five Year Plans.” They also tend to have tightly organized and politicized populations, which enforce the goals and ideology of the revolution on a local level.

In every socialist country, a level of wealth inequality has existed. Doctors do not get paid the same wage as factory workers. Bureaucrats who are responsible for huge state controlled industries are compensated for takingPost too long. Click here to view the full text.(merge into China spam mega thread)

Doesn’t matter, your critique of China is still retarded, dogmatic and infantile because you expect a society that barely crawled out of feudalism to just press a magic hammer and sickle button for instant communism. Your understanding of communism is barely any better than the average liberal who thinks it’s just about “free stuff”

If Russia loses, it becomes just another failed attempt of conquest in history

If Ukraine loses, the bulkward of Western Civilization will be broken and the gateway of Europe open for the worst type of hordes from Asia and Africa

>>1555326
The issue is that Africa has competing nationalisms. Only a few will win. Africa's nations and borders are fake, and only through the eternal fires of war and tribal struggle will new nations be born that define the African Century. Africa is showing us the merging of Marxism and nationalism, where class struggle is expressed through its purest form of national struggles of war and rape and destruction.

>>1555367
Liberals are the ones praising fascists, not me. I only said the truth, that war is an unavoidable part of human civilization. It seems like anons here have began to understood this, hence the shift to nationalism that is only natural when you accept that we must go through war rather than around it. Communism will be blasted in existence through the most heavenly earth shattering orchestra of 152mm gun barrels.

>>1555371
I am not alone. There are many communists who are now embracing nationalism not as a tool, but as an end against what they call globohomo. I think globohomo is not a useful term, yet I dont think being against globohomo means you are a right winger. It is popular opposition to Western financial capital trying to expand and maintain its reach. If that is called fascism or a false flag then I am a proud false flagging fascist. History is on the march again and Marxists need to adapt to the new reality of decades of unending warfare and rape. Africa and Eurasia will burn in hellfire before the imperialists let go and I accept this reality. Do you?(proud false flagging fascist)

>>1555384
They are not exactly the same but right now are completely intertwined. Maybe you are speaking of alter-globalization which is a complete pipe dream. As it stands, you are either with Western financial capital or against it, and right now the ethnic nationalists all across the globe are the biggest enemies of imperialist globalization being led by financial interests.
