>Lenin had introduced a mixed economy, commonly referred to as the New Economic Policy, which allowed for capitalist practices to resume under the Communist Party dictation in order to develop the necessary conditions for socialism to become a practical pursuit
Why do literary authors fail to include this in their defense of socialism?
>Why do literary authors fail to include this in their defense of socialism? they don't. This is called fabian socialism a.k.a the original Karl Kike Marx vision of communism The only thing is that some orthodox marxist writers are too dumb to understand Das Kapital
Charles Bell
Did Marx really advocate this?
Hunter Foster
NEP had nothing to do with Fabianism jfc lmao
James Scott
Cos most authors are purist cunts who would rather fantasise about heroic failures like the Paris Commune than engage honestly with the necessary flaws, compromises and struggles of a real life socialist society the lasts longer than a few fucking weeks
Jonathan Garcia
You're a truly stupid individual who's never read let alone understood a history book. I'm really sorry, but you're just a turbopleb.
Angel Peterson
Yes. Karl said the socialist state should exist before communism but everybody knows communism won't exist because it's impossible. In other words: people will always end up in socialism. Socialism to Karl Marx was a period of "ruthless capitalism and concentration of power". Someone told Lenin to actually read Marx. Once Lenin finished he realized he had done wrong and NEP would fix Russia. Soon after he became mentally ill (some people say he was poisoned)
Jeremiah Cox
The NEP was ended by Stalin in around 1929, my dude
Isaac Bell
Lol
Lucas Lopez
Marx doesn't make a distinction between socialism and communism you absolute brainlet
Jaxson Morgan
Where’s this a quote from? It does highlight the fact it wasn’t full socialism, and it would be handy to point to when faced with Bubba’s critique
Not that guy but Marx clearly states that socialism is the last stepping stone and that it should wither away eventually to make way for the ultimate end goal which is communism.
Alexander Ward
Because the only people actually defending socialism are close to braindead insects
Joseph Hall
What do you mean? Lenin was trying to build socialism, so while you can separate it from differing avenues, to suggest he doesn't reflect on socialism would be wrong.
Connor Gutierrez
Which “socialism” do you speak of, brainlette?
Cooper Lopez
you are exactly the type of "person" I meant
Evan Martin
I don’t defend all forms of socialism, brainlette. Did you know there’s more than one? Did you know there’s more than one form of capitalism?
