📱 Announcement [New and Improved] Discord Server Open!

16 Upvotes

Hello all! We have a new and growing Discord, more than 100 comrades have joined in the first month!

If you had attempted to join the Discord through the auto-mod response, or through the sidebar's link, you were formerly directed towards a dead server. Now, the server is pretty much set up.

We are also looking to start a book club soon using the Discord to meet, but will have discussion posts here too for those who do not want to participate in the discord.

It is still pretty bare bones, we have roles and channels set up however suggestions can be made *within the server* on things that could be added. We are looking at ways to get more people engaged and looking for suggestion on activities we can do as a community related to socialism.

For now, here is the invite link, join away!

I’ve been seeing this new wave of anti-communist (especially online anti communist) rhetoric where they shout from the roof tops about Marx’s jewish heritage. It’s always presented as this gotcha moment but that’s only an issue if you’re an antisemite. Dumb people I guess

Discussion When did BreakThrough News know about Eugene’s sexual assault on a PSL member and when did they fire him?

9 Upvotes

If they fired him right after learning it happened, then that’s good, but if they waited a while to fire him after the criticism got too intense then that’s fucked up. I used to be a big fan of Breakthrough News because of the analysts they had on and regrettably I was a fan of Eugene. Rania Khalek is still awesome along with the other news anchors. I understand that BTN is also an extension of the PSL because of the PSL watermark in their videos.

Discussion Is there a way to "Eat the rich" currently?

35 Upvotes

For context I am a 20F citizen of Argentina. Every day I see more unhoused people fill the streets, then I log onto social media where rich sectors display and flaunt their outrageously expensive fashions, trips, private mansions etc. And that's not even getting into the braindead president elephant in the room. I'm trying to do my fair share of protesting and volunteer work, but it's just so bleak seeing wealth so outrageously distributed. Is there literally anything else we can do with the current state of things? I'm pretty new to all of this so even the most basic suggestions to organize and make a change would be of help. I'm curious how you're all dealing with these issues from where you live as well, and how you keep hopes up that things could take a turn for the better...

Apologies for the poor English!

Theory How socialism might end commodity production

1 Upvotes

A socialist economy stable in the fulfillment of their 5 year plans & fully established with state industries of an early commodity production type as of the first socialist camp but a step further. That step being when all the collective industries are finally converted to state, then the economy can take the great leap towards ending commodity production. That leap being a well planned transition to a labor voucher system which could resemble the following prescription for how to do so.

 Carry over the purchasing power of the worker from the commodity system to the voucher system as a stand in for carrying over the value of wages:payments dispersed. Prices and payments will be exactly proportional in transit. 1 Soviet dollar = 1 digital labor dollar.

 Then as automation advances relate the prices of common goods to the increasing productive capacity in order to reflect the measured decrease in value contained in the goods as determined by the unit change of (Socially Necessary Labor Time) SNLT to produce them.

 By relation of productive capacity I mean in the conditions created by a common goods’ SNLT to produce being decreased which would bring an increase in the value of wages which carry either a deflationary nature on lowering prices or a shortening of the working day. If production can be doubled in the same time by next year but the price stays the same so the workers may take more time off in good proportion that is a gain still.

 As automation increases prices converge towards zero and aid socialism in overcoming scarcity giving workers ample free time & a deflationary wage increase which generalizes the wealth traditionally only relegated to the petite bourgeoisie thus undermining the basis of social democracy. Production since on a planned basis would be sustainable. Some goods would not have a price for artificial demand constraint but would be allocated per person. This seems best facilitated by a labour voucher system.

 In regard to international trade with other socialist states another Comecon should exist and utilize a non transferable currency to quantify the values traded on the ledger. This would be a solid step towards trading in use values until wage labor itself is safely made obsolete and the question of international trade fairness is made into a question of sustainable & moral production in relation to ecology which includes the people. 

 Although commodities no longer exist domestically or within the socialist camp, there is still a withering period in regard to international trade. Until capitalism is globally uprooted, socialist states may export commodities only for the securement of important inputs from capitalist nations. We secure steel to forge an economic spear. International trade between socialist states remains decommodified. In the end the state becomes a widow for her late class society based on surplus labor is dead. The bourgeoisie’s existence, the existence of commodity production is finally finally by the spinning wheel!
