Oct Rev - TR1/3 - Economics of Socialism

Taimur Raheman of CMKP Speaks at the CPGB-MLs celebration of the 91st Anniversary of the Great Socialist October Revolution.

Cde Taimur explores the myth that socialist economy is inefficient and incapable of innovation, with direct reference to the miraculous economic achievements of the Soviet Union.

Khruhschevite market reforms were the cause of relative stagnation, and proved in practice the inferiority of market economics.

Means of Production (Tools) Drive growth. Magnificent growth of the USSR was due to emphasis on production of means of production.

By contrast, mechanised production displaces and impoverishes workers under capitalism, leading to economic crisis.

@MES961 So China, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore have lots of resources? That's the key to their success? Read some Adam Smith to understand how that's a fallacy.

@johnnecron WRONG collectivism is based on view of man as something with infinity potecijal But to achieve our goals we need other people , because only sociaety that can provide every individual the opportunity to develop themselves can be called modern. Such society can not be a capitalist because the capitalist principles do not allow individual development. Capitalism degenerate man to an animal that has to fight to survive financially. PS I'm sorry for my bad English

LOL.....no individual tinkers around with scientific innovation! Alexander Graham Bell, Benjamin Franklin---all propped up by STATE INSTITUTIONS! LOL.....and Einstein didn't innovate physics while he was in a patent office in Bern! No....the patent office in Bern was the source of his daydreaming and genius! NASA's genius is the product of the government, of course! Not by individual scholars! No! Genius is the product of government intervention!

What a douchebag.

@Questfortruth86 The political philosophy of collectivism is based on a view of man as a congenital incompetent, a helpless, mindless creature who must be fooled and ruled by a special elite with some unspecified claim to superior wisdom and a lust for power."

Living in a capitalist society, enjoying the freedoms being offered by a multi-party state the gentleman is talking about socialism in the Frm USSR, where as this nice gentleman would not have survived even a week in Stalin's Soviet Union.

...верить в эту Коммунистическую идеологию и предпринимать новые эксперименты коллективизации общества, обречены на провал уже с самого начала...
