So he wants to take everything from communism and nothing from capitalism? Sounds good to me
love too combine the best elements of capitalism and overthrowing capitalism
There's nothing good in Capitalism that isn't already included in Communism. If anyone tells you different, it's just capitalist propaganda.
Like what? Innovation? Yo, we can just pay people to innovate whatever we want. That's how it works, but in Communism people would actually get a share of their innovations rewards, so it's actually just straight better.
I dont think capitalism really breeds innovation. Sure to an extend it does, but that is only when all other options are exhausted. Most of the big innovations we have are despite capitalism, not because of it.
Look into a lot of vaccines, when medical companies refused to produce them, cause they wont bring profits
Yes, the nothing from capitalism and the everything from communism, that could work.
Communism already takes the best aspects of communism like socialization of production, so doing that would be redundant
Is this person a liberal experimenting ideas about social democracy?
I ask because I used to be this person.
I think people who say this just think about communism as being central planning of the economy. Theyre not thinking about abolishing private property or dictatorship of the proletariat or any of that
Edit: Also, I think it makes sense that people have this idea, because the countries that are supposedly communist basically have central planning by the state, and little of the other things. If we think about China, they don't really have a worker controlled economy, they work a lot and are not allowed to form unions and so on. I even personally get the impression that their successes in dealing with covid came from central planning and not communism. Btw I basically haven't read any theory, feel free to educate me
I used to be like this when I was younger, partly because I didn't want to piss people off, but mainly because I didn't really know enough about either. If someone's already warm to the idea of "communist synthesis " or whatever, there's a very good chance you can radicalize them by deflating their idea of capitalism. Try asking them what they think the bourgeoisie do or what they contribute to society.
I'm willing compromise with the capitalists by implementing fully automated luxury gay space communism
