@jjoohhhnn "Claiming it for the workers basically means the government buys out the shareholders"
We have no need to do that. You know who we did that for essentially? Slave owners. We do not and should not reward these people in any way.
"How do you intend to take it from them, otherwise? With force? You're going to violently overthrow the US government? Good luck with that one, bruv."
So its either buy it all out and keep them insanely wealthy, or toppling the US government. Those are the only two options to you? The only ways we can do it?
However, the US government does not to be eliminated. The US as a political project must come to an end. We have been doing genocide for centuries against so many cultures, there is no other way than complete elimination of our government.
"we elect the board of directors the way we elect senators"
We could try out worker councils instead. It can all be made way more democratic for everyone instead of keeping this shit "representative democracy" but slightly different. We could look at indiginous cultures and try to learn from them on governance. That would probably be a very good idea.
"Clean it up correctly in a way that helps workers and instills faith in the justice system AVOIDING a violent transfer of power while still offering restorative justice "
You can not clean up the capitalist system. You cent just vote socialists in and then that's it. That's not how systemic change works. No one should have faith in the justice system for there was never any reason to have faith in it in the first place. The justice system continues to be a part in the oppression of the natives.
1"ow do you plan to organize? Through what group do you intend to congregate under and to what SPECIFIC POLICY GOALS do you have?"
Have you ever heard of unions? They have a very socialist history, and they used to have massive political power.
And asking a single person what their goals are is pointless. This is a COLLECTIVE effort. We all work on the goals together.
"How do you intend to organize in a way that doesn't allow the movement to be fractured and destroyed like the hippies, civil rights activists, punks, gangs, etc.? Assuming you can answer that, what's your battle plan to take the nation? What materials do you need, how long will it take, what are some primary objectives?"
These are ridiculous questions to ask a singular person. Not any one person can ever answer these. It doesnt work that way. ITS A COLLECTIVE EFFORT. You seem to think you have some gotcha, but you dont. You're just being intellectually dishonest.
"Lmao, or is this 'glorious revolution' too real for you now?"
And this right here proves that. You are an intellectually dishonest person. Please do better and act more like an adult.
"Ugh, I don't even think you have any concepts on how a post scarcity society would ACTUALLY function"
We already live in a post scarcity society, and again, a singular person does not need to know how a post scarcity society works. Its a COLLECTIVE effort. We all figure it out together.
"let alone a totally command economy. Complete command economics is terrible."
No one brought up a command economy besides you. And yes, they have worked. Corporations use very similar models that the USSR did, they just now have the advantage of powerful computers to help, which is what the USSR needed.
And yes, they are terrible, but no where as bad as free market economics. And again, you're the one who brought up command economies so you could argue against them, More intellectual dishonesty
" No one knows how to do that equitably, and in the past it has lead to some of the worst authoritarianism in recent history."
Yeah, thats why we all work COLLECTIVLEY to figure it out.
And the worst authoritarianism came from capitalism.
"Try outlining some policy solutions"
Try acting like an adult first
"But I know a lot of trendy leftists think economics and logistics management is bourgeoise decadence."
You clearly know nothing about leftists. You sound like you have gobbled up a shit ton of capitalist propaganda and have yet to deprogram yourself.
