I have been tracking societal factors which indicate exploitation and the list is in for the worst countries in the world.

These are countries which have a large amount of exploitative capitalists which exploit their workers abroad and loosely call themselves the international community.

There is many Asian countries which are climbing the index, then there is many tax havens which occupy this list. Surprisingly not all tax havens are on the list.

>Surprisingly not all tax havens are on the list.
Literally every country in the list is a tax haven, including the United States: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_as_a_tax_haven

thank you for this based way of quantifying 'worst country'.

It was historically progressive for the USA to have the Yankees defeat the dixies.

BUT it would have been historically progressive for the rest of the world if the dixies defeated the yankees.

only ultroids and libtards will fail to understand

Dixies were going to try and invade Cuba and the rest of the Caribbean down to Venezuela, how would this have been progressive?

>>2846140
>were going to try
yes and fail. just like their yankee brothers. the difference is that a dixie capitalist state would never rise to the heights of the yankee capitalist state - the supreme hegemon

>reading about the Industrial Revolution and its consequences in the contemporary world
<mfw when I realize that Marx believed Communism would be possible because he mistakenly believed that industries would generate infinite resources, which would make the division of labor, the origin of social stratification, meaningless since there would be resources for everyone, unlike the systems of servitude prior to Capitalism where the division of labor had to exist to organize/maximize the production of resources since there were no industries and producing alone would not generate enough resources for a larger population to sustain itself
<mfw Marx did not realize that it is the very dynamics of the organization of the division of labor/classes and not the industries that generate infinite resources because equality of production produces absence of competition. Absence of competition produces absence of incentive for innovation. Absence of innovation produces absence of productivity. Absence of productivity produces nothing and is the reason why socialist regimes simply stagnate and need external intervention to maintain themselves(Rule 10)

They did and still do ? Socialist countries historically have performed better at industrialization and scientific sectors given their original starting point. The lack of material abundance in consumer goods is simply due to the absence of priority given to these goods and socialist countries opting to plan almost entirely for industrialization

>Powered by Marxist ideology, Revolutionary Socialist (RS) armed groups launched formidable challenges against incumbent regimes during the historical era of the Cold War. As both transformational and transnational actors, they were optimally positioned to execute a revolutionary war doctrine that called for a highly integrated political and military organization that could weave a dense web of interactions with civilian populations. Civil wars featuring RS rebels tended to be robust insurgencies, that is, irregular wars that lasted longer and produced more battlefield fatalities compared to other civil wars. However, this superior capacity failed to translate into a higher rate of victories—hence, a “Marxist Paradox.” By posing a credible threat, RS rebellions engendered equally powerful regime counter-mobilizations. We show how ideology shaped armed conflict in a particular world-historical time and point to implications for the current state of civil conflict.

That's cause the objetive of the revolutionary socialist is to radically transform society and abolish commodity production, wage labor and create a classless society, which is extremely difficult.

First of all, if we were to have rights and a republic, we cannot have government that contradicts that. People say fascism is militarism. I disagree. Every major war over the last 80 years has been because of banks profiting off of war. WW1 taught bankers that war is good for business. During WW2, the isolationist movement that opposed US involvement stated that the founding fathers were against old world conflicts (which they were). Capitalism will always inevitably devolve into authoritarianism. "ANCAP" / non-libertarian socialists have libertarianism all wrong. What we're living in today is end-stage capitalism. The anti-federalists opposed the founding fathers because they feared they would become too powerful. However, I believe that the means of production should be owned by the people and not the government or private corporations.

Why are you not a libertarian socialist?

>>2845927
There' a reason every rich dipshit is a libertarian.

<You’ve got that eternal idiotic idea that if anarchy came it would come from the poor. Why should it? The poor have been rebels, but they have never been anarchists: they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn’t; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all. Aristocrats were always anarchists.

Why do people act as if “anti-Zionist Jews” are somehow better than overtly Zionist Jews, when nearly all “anti-Zionist” Jews are merely liberal Zios who adhere to the exact same narratives as overt Zios?

Believing Jews have any “connection” to Palestine is Zionist. Believing Jews are entitled to live in Palestine is Zionist. The “one-state solution” is just as settler-colonial as the “two-state solution” since it allows for illegal Zio settlers to remain in the lands they stole through colonialism and genocide.

Stop supporting these genocidal and colonial normalizers. Palestine is NOT South Africa but Algeria, and any true Palestine solidarity must call for the mass expulsion of every Jewish settler in Palestine. There is nothing they have that they didn’t acquire by theft and genocide. All of them must be removed for Palestine to be truly liberated.(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

You had jews in Palestine even before zionism. The Ari synagogue was founded in the 1500s for exemple.

You have a PFLP flag even though the PFLP's position is for a one-state solution in which Jews would be welcome as equal citizens with the same rights as others while rejecting Israel's insistence that their war against Israel is a racial war aiming at eliminating every Jewish citizen and throwing him into the sea.

Jew derangement syndrome.

39 minutes in, Leone Castar says he looks for collaborators do develop a chapter how a postcapitalist judiciary would work. Well, I don’t use Discord or Zoom and I prefer to remain anonymous, so I will just drop my answer in this thread.

JURY SYSTEM

To get inspiration, we start with a brief look at a very simple analytical model: There is a group of people trying to answer some question about reality by voting between two options, one true and one false. Each person in the group got more intelligence than zero, so their chance of picking the right option from the two is a bit better than 50 %. Assume the same percentage for each person, with no particular correlation between people. That’s the model. What follows from this? Three things:
  1. The banal thing: The best approach to finding the truth here is to just go with the option that gets more votes, not requiring a super-majority or people voting for representatives who then vote.
  2. The beautiful thing: We can get arbitrarily close to being correct 100 % of the time if the group is big enough. These two conclusions are known as Condorcet’s Jury theorem.
  3. A tricky detail: If you have a group size that is odd and you just add one person, the probability that the group gets the right decision just stays where it is. So the group size should be odd.

When it comes to punishment, I’m thinking of something a bit more complicated than just two options. I think the topic fits into a one-dimensional spatial model. I think such a model fits because we can think of prison time as a quantity shown on a line, and everybody agrees what more or less means here. This agreement is necessary, but not sufficient for a really good fit. It is also necessary that people see themselves as standing on a point on that line. A counter-example: A parliament discusses different proposals for military spending and there might be consensus on how to order these plans from small to big, but the politicians may not all see themselves as standing on one point on that line, but rather with each foot on one end. On that issue, one may be of the opinion: “Go big or go home.”

I made this without a hint of irony.

I like natural rights, Leninism, Hoxhaism, and my philosophy is heavily influenced by Mishima.

And there is nothing you can do about it.

>two communists, a lib, and a fascist walk into a flag

>>2845874

If rights are not natural, how is it possible to violate them then?

And a much more important issue: One can always deliberately set themselves up with a normative framework that demands given rights be violated at least in given circumstances. You can shout "unnatural" or "evil" all you want and your opponent can simply "Yes. Fuck your rights."

>>2845874
What philosophy? Mishima wrote homoerotic novellas.

so let me get this straight… basically marxism is communism and communism came from marx but marx said "i am not a marxist" and communism is against social-democracy but marxists called themselves socdems until 1914 when marxists and socdems split over the question of whether support their governments in ww1 with the marxists choosing to be "revolutionary defeatists" which confusingly means that revolution will be victorious if don't support your country in the war, but instead support a civil war at home… nobody did this except lenin, so only lenin was a real marxist, and he criticized leftism because leftism is really just the left wing of capitalism, and communism is not left wing or right wing despite everyone calling it left wing, and fascism is right wing, but so is liberalism and social democracy and anarchism and everything except marxism, and basically nothing is left wing except marxism, but marxism is not left wing, because left wing means the left wing of capital but also marx said he wasn't a marxist so marxists are anti communist anyway, but also communism can only be marxist, which is not the left wing of capital, but its own thing completely outside of bourgeois politics, and everything is right wing except marxism.
