To attribute ANY scientific advances to “capitalism” or “communism” is completely absurd. NEITHER of those have anything to do with the advancement of science, which has progressed in every kind of society.

2. No surplus of food and capital means no development and a nation one step away from famine.

Achieving a surplus of food does not require capitalism, and never did.

2. Capitalism is more productive. If it wasn't why would Chinese communists allow it in their country? Why take the risk?

1. Capitalism is not inherently more productive, market-socialist orgs (co-ops) usually produce more per manhour 2. We produce too much as is, a focus on overproduction is unwarranted 3. It’s easier to control citizens & trade with capitalist countries when you’re capitalist

1. Just not true. Socialist and Communist systems are always less productive. 2. I thought people were starving, needed food/resources? 3. Competition makes efficient! As an individual, company or nation. Apart from resources communist/socialist have nothing worth buying.

1. Based on what? 2. Yes, they’re starving because they’re not ALLOWED to have the food that exists. We produce far, FAR more food than we could all possibly eat. 3. I’m still pretty sure that only works short-term, but market socialism is a thing

2.3 why only free food to Africa? What about the poor in the West? So everyone get anything they want for free, regardless of effort. So why work if everything is free? Bugger going down a sewer to clear a blockage or risking my butt in the Barents Sea, I am moving to LA.

YOU’RE the one who proposed free food to Africa, I just said it’d be good. We have enough food for everybody, let’s just feed everybody. Not everything should necessarily be free, though. Just food, water, housing, healthcare, and public education.

That being said, I’m most fond of a model wherein each worker is given the option to negotiate and specify their pay in the form of particular goods and services, where communes (through republican structures) and affinity groups design projects through mutualist negotiations.

I would like that too! Pay me in Gold and if Corbyn gets elected, pay me with bullets
