Perhaps it would be wise to begin stepping up socialist efforts in Europe...In some countries, Marxist parties are rather strong. With these strong socialist parties, a socialist country could potentially arise that could be an effective combatant against fascism in Europe.Soviet_Guy said:In the last three decades, the F.A.D party in Austria has maintained the 3rd largest number of seats in the Austrian " Parliament " and the country also elected an Ex-Nazi in 1986. I don't know about you people, but I can see Fascists taking over in Austria in the next two decadesm especially when in the last election, the F.A.D fell only in single digits of votes to claim 2nd largest party, that's pretty bad.
Is not socialism a part of Marxist theory? Marxist theory's about the future economic systems always include socialism. Marx said that socialism was a transitional stage to communism. Are you simply in favor of socialism and against communism? That is acceptable, as communism is thought by many, and understandably so, to be a utopian theory. I think that once capitalism is globally exterminated, communism will be able to exist (my ideas of economic evolution lead me to think this way, basically the evolution is from socialism to world socialism to anarcho-communism). But, getting back on topic, yes, socialism must be our primary concern.Soviet_Guy said:Yeah, I got nothing against Marxism, but I rather prefer Socialism.
I'd say communism is possible, but socialism is its prerequisite. I agree somewhat with your explanation of socialism, but I do have a few objections.Soviet_Guy said:Communism, True Communism, can never exist, It took me qiet a while to accept that fact. Socialism isn't like Communism, Socialism is like Capitalism but with the changes neccesary to make sense. Look at it this way, in Capitalism, people pay loads of taxes, the rich get more and more money by highering more and more employees and making them work like dogs at times. In Socialism, most companies are controlled by the government, and " Bosses " of companies are elected through the government by the work athic and accomplishements. There are many employees who work their *ss off and never get credited for it, sometimes companies that are owned by Jewish bussinessmen are cruel towards Non-Jews and so even if there is a Non-Jew that is an extraordinary worker, he may be put lower than another employee who works less but is favoured by the Jewish Boss, it happens. Thus statistics decide your poisition in the work place, your success and initiative, Capitalism does not do that, their are way too many people who ride through life with ease under Capitalism. Welfare, that should not exist, all people should be given some sort of job. Obese citizens should not be given money, obesity is not a disability. One more thing, in Socialism, taxes are lower because all the nation's people are payed less, as the prices of food, gas ext go down as well, the government thus keeps more money for trading which it has to spend the same amount of money on, and of course, more money into athletics, and not give enormous amount to "Pro" athletes, that shouldn't be, I love sports, I follow all of the 5 major sports very closely, and I still disagree amount the amount of pay these players get, the maximum for our present time should be 2 million a year, and a minimum of 100,000 in any sport. I could go on and on but it be best for you to just buy a book on the Socialist Workers Manifesto, there are many different versions, so I really cannot tell you which one would be best as i have only read one myself.

Socialism is primarily of the Rousseau guy and several others I've just forgotton, but yes many socialists are marxists, but not all, no socialist is really a leninist which most Communist, that's a really dividing factor, and marx did help further socialism, but still not all socialists are marxists.

FPO is not a Fascist party, Mr.Jorg Haider is a traitor sold to U$rael (something like our Gianfranco Fini :mrgreen
You want the government to choose factory planners just because a minfesto says so? No, no, it would be much better to have the workers at a specific factory decide who among them will plan production at the factory. This chosen planner will have term limits. However, I am speaking on the most local of levels here, the planner will only be 'boss' of his factory/workplace. Of course the local government will oversee production. Also, in a nationalized system, there are no companies (atleast in cases of production). Every factory is controlled by the state. Perhaps what your manifesto is alluding to is what I have dubbed the 'economist' who I think will aid the factory planner in his decision making. This economist will be appointed by the government. He will be an expert in economics (duh) and will also have studied local factory output, and also poulation growth and needed shifts in factory/field production. Yes, I think we're talking about the same thing, just in different terms.Soviet_Guy said:If you ever try to buy a book on the Socialist Manifesto, you'll find many, in the Peoples Socialist Manifesto, bosses of companies are chosen by the government, by looking at which worker has made the most impact and has had teh greatest success, and bosses under Socialism are given terms, how long, they may differ.
Actually, in France, Marxist parties together received 15% of the vote a few years back. If we concentrate efforts in France, perhaps we can dispose of Chirac and create a socialist nation. Also, in Italy, socialist parties are rather strong. But, either way, I think it is time that we socialists give up hope in the USA. In Europe, chances for socialist growth are much, much more promising. The USA's capitalist sysem can be combatted at a later time.Comrade Brian said:Like in Greece, the two communist parties together hold about 10% coming in 3rd and 4th in largest party, Ukraine I believe they're Communist party is third, Russia is first last time I saw, Communist parties are also quite big in France and Italy, and in Mongolia these past few weeks, the communist party is now their president's and most legislature after the recent election, CPUSA is the largest left-wing party with only membership of around 2,500 and growing, Britain I think they've split into 5 parties, we need another Comintern, to put back together split parties.
I'd much prefer going to South America, where many revolutionary movements are taking place (Mexico, Bolivia, Venezuela, just to name a few). I hope to double major in economics and political science in college and hopefully aid the revolutionary causes in these nations.Soviet_Guy said:Yes, best to wait it out for two more decades when the United States system will collapse, then Social reforms can begin to take place there. For me, I'm going to be headed to Austria after I'm done University, then perhaps after Austria, Germany, or Russia.
I don't much care about 'world issues', I care about 'national' issues, I care about helping those whom I can. In South America, the time is right for socialism. I want to help those who suffer from capitalism, that is all I care about. The world is too large a task for any of us, but a nation, and its people, are not. We can help these people with socialism, and that is the important thing.Soviet_Guy said:Yes, but sorry to say, South Americ at present, is hopeless as any impact on world issues.

Comrade Brian said:Spain is 1st world, but until 1975 it had a fascist government, and the only opposition were the loyalists in the 30's, the only country that helped them was the USSR
Belarus, I don't know what its category is, used to be part of USSR, so second world, but now E. Europe is pretty much 3rd world
