Lay out a reasonable framework in which the United States becomes socialist

Lay out a reasonable framework in which the United States becomes socialist

Bourg voluntarily give up the means of production, bosses voluntarily quit.

when all of its citizens are dead

Democratic socialism seems to be the only real option. Wealth tax + Co-op tax credit? The US is *really* resistant to revolution. Any socialism would have to be through legislation.

what the fuck is this meme shit tbh.
whenever i see some one mention "democratic socialism", they're either referring to social democracy but try to sound like they're not reformist cunts, or they're not really new to leftism and doesnt realize they're left coms yet.

I posted this before but I will post it again.

After the next major financial crises instead of bailing out private investors what you do is:

1. Issue a decree abolishing all enterprise obligations to pay interest or stock dividends to private individuals or private institutions.
2. Declare that legal authority over all businesses employing more than 50 full-time workers now resides with those workers, one-person, one-vote. Workers may keep the same managers that they now have, or replace them. The authority is now theirs—to determine what to produce, how to produce it, at what price to market it, how to distribute the profits among themselves, and so forth. Guidelines will be issued concerning the formation of worker councils (in those companies where such councils do not already exist), but the only restriction placed on the workforce is the obligation to keep intact the value of the capital assets of the business. These are now regarded as the collective property of the nation and are not to be looted or squandered.
3. Announce that a flat-rate tax will be levied on each firm's capital assets, all the revenue from which will go into the national investment fund
4. Nationalize all banks. These now-public banks will be charged with reviewing applications for new investment grants and with dispensing the funds generated by the capital assets tax according to the double criteria of profitability and employment creation.

1 crisis happens
2 unemployment rises
3 standard of living sinks
4 cant start ww3 because nukes
5 REVOLUTION

that could only work with limited immigration, otherwise porkies will just have a scapegoat and fascism will rise instead of socialism.

Hillary has a stroke and becomes a plant, Tim Caine is S█████ opponent and is beaten. S█████ goes on to become president and is cock-blocked by congress, but because he withdraws from all teh foreign wars he is elected a second time and Dems win cogress. He expands medicare and does some free college stuff.Next president is Republican and rolls back most of the changes.

That's about how much "socialist" the US is ever going to be.

Jobs for low-skill workers are automated away. Bourgeoise institutes UBI and cuts working hours to keep the economy going. This trend continues until the Singularity, where we will have Communist-Transhumanism.

whatever

fascism cant do shit
profitability on investment will be near zero

only way out is destruction of capital, or planned economy
and I mean planned in a hardcore way

lol and they call us fascists

I'm a fatalist, man
Marxist-fatalist

But he is right, zero profitability doesn't mean shit.

Americans will eventually vote in a Julius Caesar and their democracy will be annulled. It is the inevitable fate of their empire. And Americans will resort to fascism because of promises to establish a planned and protectionist economy.

Even if Trump loses I really think America at this point has surrendered itself to going down that path.

I think their desire for protectionism is secondary to white nationalism.

Fascism is not exactly the same thing as Nazism.

...

pls

The fuck is a leftcom

A highly dogmatic and autistic marxist who thinks marx was not marxist or left enough.

Kek

lol, couldn't have said it better

This is how I feel.

Honestly? The US will probably become socialist once class is weakened through automation. As high-paying corporate positions are supplanted by AI, a lot of bourgeois folks will be left in the cold.

Our proletarians will probably never achieve full consciousness.

Generally, people who believe Marxism-Leninism was too-right wing.

They tend to be really autistic and petulant, though amazing theoreticians.
