RE: The "Green New Deal" is INSANE! Also very communist. McCarthy where are you!?

in #politics5 years ago (edited)

Communism is the ultimate state of affairs theorized to be reached after the revolution, it's by definition a stateless and classless situation. If you want to say that communism means USSR-style state capitalism, I'm OK with that, that has become a widely accepted definition too, just be mindful that "communism" still means both things.

Now, is it fair to characterize the GND as a Soviet-style state capitalist plan (in hidden form or not)? Absolutely not. The GND falls close to FDR-style social democracy more than anything else. The unionization you bring up is a perfect example: in the USSR unions were under direct control of the state, under the GND we are talking something working within the Wagner Act of 1935.

I never said i agree with the banking system and your reply insinuates that i do.

Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean to imply that. What I meant was that all these things you complain about already happen, with the GND at least they will happen for something of utmost economic and ecological necessity.

I do recommend again that you read on the subjects of Modern Monetary Theory, socialism and communism. Much of what you say reeks of state propaganda to me. But anyway, good luck with it. Cheerios!
