Interesting, and heartbreaking, of course. I never knew about the link to JIT from Cybersyn, I'll have to give that a watch. Thanks!

I do be mentioning Marx
Oh shit, I need to watch that! Thanks, comrade!
Communism is a post-Socialist society, it must be global, highly developed, and have full public ownership, or close enough to those. The Soviet Union was, instead, Socialist, ie an economy where public ownership is the principle aspect. That being said, there were attempts at Cybernetics, and moving beyond money. These are actually incredibly interesting, and anyone interested in Socialism should look into those attempts.
If you want to learn more about Socialism and Communism, I recommend checking out my introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list.
Basically. Marx wrote in the 1800s, so there can be confusion from those who only keep a surface-level understanding of Marxism, say, by sticking to Wikipedia summaries. If you want, I can provide sources that help elaborate on what I'm talking about.
Lemmy.ml is run by MLs for the most part, so even if this isn't an explicitly Communist instance there is Communist sympathy. The user you are replying to takes issue with that.
Probably not as well as they could be, but better than nothing, for sure.
Gotcha, keep it up, comrade 🫡
Yep, but that's just how it is, and why I focus on outreach all the same.
Betting on US prosperity and growth is going to be a bad decision. If you're in the US, it makes more sense to join labor orgs.
Thanks, I really do appreciate it! At the end of the day, I try to only speak on what I know, so that helps me not get frustrated if someone comes in in clearly bad-faith, haha.
