American Marxist is an oxymoron, like American Cheese

Its the best us murican marxists can hope for

I believe muke sent him a couple books

Even after the revolution, market socialism would be an excellent NEP style tool to ease the transition. It would allow the economy to function while the political situation stabilizes enough for industry to be fully socialized on the worker’s terms.

Why? With all the chaos and stress and challenge of a revolution, why add the extra burden of trying to centralize industry and plan the economy? The goal is to break the power of the bourgeoisie, market socialism does that. Once it’s broken you can put off the implementation of a planned economy if necessary. Furthermore the transition from capitalism to market socialism is less extreme, meaning that the damage to the economy would be lesser. Co-ops could be socialized gradually in a way that doesn’t pressure or force workers to relinquish their rights and doesn’t lead to economic chaos.

fucking Muke? He'll kill Jimmy's Channel if he makes into a whiny Trot.

M8 read Marx yourself. Co-Ops are appreciated by both Marx and Engels to a limited extent and for good reason. If the workers are going to seize their workplaces they'll need some practice in managing them. It's just like unions in this way. Unions aren't socialism and no one would call them that but unions are important for us to get to socialism.

Not that user but co-ops are antithetical to Marx's socialism as a mode of production that seeks to abolish the law of value, that is different from the "seize the means" socialism meme, if you're only about seizing the means of production then sure, but co-ops are still restrained by the SNLT in their production, it's even worse if you're a yugoslaviaboo who wants to add in "Markets" to the mix, that would only perpetuate the law of value in the economy until it reverts back to capitalism.

be prepared for a bunch of thumbs down and idiotic comments by jimmy dore's numerous conservative watchers
