  • @delyshBB You ironically just illuminated his point. It isn't possible because it isn't profitable, the better more sustainable thing can't be realized because it conflicts with accumulation. This also doesn't have much to do with socialism, but if you going to move the conversation to investing in resource production, capitalism nearly completely exhausted that by putting so much money into it. It has to invent other (abstract) places to put it simply to continue functioning.

  • He's amazing.

  • @delyshBB Resources are limited. Guess we should fund more wars to spread the good book of democracy.

  • righteous

  • the solar example is really bad. resources are limited and if you'd do solar panels, energy would be mroe expensive and resources would be diverted to resource production instead of somewhere else. this is exactly why socialism failed and will always fail.

  • @sdkjgbasdkgv that might be true, but i didn't deny it - maybe i put it wrong - maybe you don't have that term in English but in german "realer Sozialismus" means all forms of socialism which have ben actually put to practice - and they where mostly state-capitalism especially the Stalinistic one

  • @wildhias I think his point is that "false" socialism (i.e., Stalinism, and not the "true" socialism of Marx) is a "state capitalism". "real socialism" would OF COURSE not be state-capitalism.

  • wow i have heared it somewhere else, but it really astonishes me to hear an America (wrightfully) refer to "real socialism" as state capitalism - totally agree

    I wonder what he has to say about the tax cuts for the billionaires?

  • Thanks for the post. I really like what he says about Stalinism and state capitalism in Eastern Europe
