"It actually does,"
no it doesn't. That is like you say that it's good idea to walk in highly radiated zone simply because it doesn't kill you on spot.
"authoritarian socialist societies where the state owned the MOP need at least 10 years to show improvement, and even then that's not much, it's just lowering a bit of unemployment and poverty."
It's easy to remove unemployment. It's different to employ people to jobs that actually are meaningful.
Poverty? Capitalist countries have historically taken more people out from poverty than any other system.
Okay since you're an idiot let me explain this. LITERALLY EVERY INSTITUTION in mankinds history has been corrupted over time. It's impossible to prevent it from happening.
So you have following problems with socialist system.
1. Highly centralized government. This means that it's easy to abuse it and use it for personal gain.
2. You cannot trust politicians words, therefore you cannot make good judge on who to vote and who not to.
3. Politicians aren't super genius angels. Controlling economy is like trying to control ecology of rain forest. You simply don't have enough brain capability and knowledge to decide how it should be regulated and controlled.
4. Problem of corruption (socialist countries are historically most corrupted countries on the planet).
So when combined these factors. You will have some nice show. Even if at start you happened to get good politicians by luck. There is no guarantee that their replacements will be like that. Sociopaths, psychopaths and other manipulates are excellent in gaining people's votes and creating connections. This means that over time, every decent politician will disappear and be replaced by sociopath who only cares about himself.
He creates enough political influence to his party or to himself and then he can simply make a vote which guarantees him the power of dictator. This has happened before every time anyone tried socialism.
Rojava, as a country is too young to show the true problems of socialism.
For poverty. It's easy to steal wealth. This is what venezuela did. Until they run out of wealth to steal.
It's actually pretty common, that in paper socialism looks nice at first few years. But after it, it's destructive reality will be show. You cannot hide reality forever.
"and improved almost instantly after this change (though there was some early economic problems but they subsided)"
No it didn't improve. And subsidies are proven to hurt economy in long term.
"!That's only if it's authoritarian socialism"
It's in all of them. Socialism is weak system supported by weak willed people.
"ou can't apply the same problems to a radically different system like libertarian socialism"
Libertarian socialism is contradiction. Only idiots who don't know what libertarianism is combine those two. It's like christian atheist. Makes no sense. Sure word exists, but it's simply word play.
What you advocate is direct democracy. Which is highly weak to sudden changes. Changes in market, and war time. There isn't a single direct democratic country that has ever been able to resist either of those affects fast enough to survive.
Also you still need state in order to enforce socialism.
This is why marx, engel, lenin, stalin all were standing for big oppressive government. Because they knew that socialism will never work unless they kill, brainwash, turn into slaves and exile everyone who disagrees.
They believed in "wither down" of the state. Which would only happen when everyone who disagrees is gone.
"Care to elaborate? If you're talking about authoritarian socialism then no need I already know"
No difference in the end of the day. Direct democracy is actually fastest way to achieve dictatorship.
"Did you know that cooperatives (enterprises that are collectively owned and self-managed by its workers) are more productive and effective way of organizing?"
Yet not a single world biggest companies are made out of them.
"Worker co-operatives are larger than conventional businesses and not necessarily less capital intensive "
Aka less effective.
"Worker co-operatives survive at least as long as other businesses and have more stable employment"
Depends on industry they are in. Also stable employment isn't necessarily good thing. Being a slave was pretty stable employment don't you think?
"Worker cooperatives are more productive than conventional businesses, with staff working “better and smarter” and production organised more efficiently"
That is like saying that army without general and officers is better at making war than army with them....
Also you failed to provide any evidence that they are more productive.
"Worker co-operatives retain a larger share of their profits than other business models"
If you make programming company. Profits are always larger than costs.
"Executive and non-executive pay differentials are much narrower in worker co-operatives than other firms"
So why would anyone with talent and knowledge to become executive to join your shitty company?

+ChristianIce First of all Jesus sword talk is literally a metaphor. He explains it same time. His point is that people have to choose between him and their parents. Not about waging war. Read with context for fuck sake.
"but, whatever, he's seen as "the ultimate forgiving guy"."
Not really only an idiot like yourself would say that. He only forgives if you believe in him. Atheist like me will get a lot of shit regardless what I do in my life.
"The first is that this allows the ultimate cherry-picking,"
First of all when compared Islam, that is far better option than no option for cherry picking. Yes, in Islam it's impossible to cherry pick.
"yet picking any old testament passage when it's convenient...but, hey, I am still the good guy, because jesus!"
Because christianity is based in the new testament not to old one. Old one is just background. What makes them different from the Jews is the what Jesus did and said.
"The second is what you were talking about, and it's "forgiveness"
Now, looks like you can do the fuck you want, but if you repent, it's ok."
According to Christianity yes. I know that is fucked up but that is the case.
"That bitch that won't release marriage licences.
There you have "christianity"."
??? Who? Marriage licenses? What the fuck are you gibbering?
"She can impose her will on others, just because it's her faith and her jesus is good, therefore whatever she thinks is automatically good."
False, and you know it. She does bad, but she will be forgiven as long as she believes in Jesus. Being forgiven from something doesn't make behavior acceptable. Someone can forgive murderer of his parents but that doesn't mean that he think that murder is act of good.
"It's evidence that there is nothing "better" in being a christian, there's just the excuse of jesus to behave the way you want."
Rofl the opposite. Because the very fact that it's easy to cherry pick bible makes it better than Islam. That is the reason why scientific progress did start from the west after the medieval ages. In Islam the book literally goes against scholars and scientists, saying that they should be killed. While in Bible nothing like that is even implied. Of course church did what it did, but that doesn't mean that ideology itself supports it. Just like communism doesn't support killing, but yet lot of people got killed under it.
The fact that people can choose to still behave without being total dicks makes it so that we can live in current progressive and secular countries. Name even one secular country where most people are muslims. You can't find any... simply because Islam doesn't leave room for debate.
Hence they cannot be equally bad religions. Otherone at least allows reasonable people be reasonable.

"Yeah, that count as much as a muslims saying "when Allah says that, it's a metaphor". I don't care.
At any point anybody can say "my interpretation is right, yours is wrong".
It's not math, it's just myths."
Literal commandments is different from someone talking in metaphors of what is about to do.
Muslims follow the example of Muhammed, and example he showed is made into a law. There is no metaphors in literal example of killing someone for simply disagreeing with you.
"I believe in him!
It's just a statement, anybody can speak words."
And?
"Yet, muslims are killing each other, so they already show that they can cherrypick enough."
As I pointed out. They are only killing the ones BREAKING THE RULES OF ISLAM. For fuck sake...
Are you really that dense that you couldn't even remember that reply?
"The old testament is valid, they read a passage of it at any celebration, they can take it as valid whenever they want.
"
Again it's irrelevant what happened in old testament since Christianity is based on new one not to the old one. The new testament is what makes them different from Jews. Religion 101. There is a reason why Christians have very different culture than jews have.
"Hood County Clerk Katie Lang.
You can find that story anywhere."
You expect European knowing some random story from USA?
"That alone proves my point."
No it doesn't. It doesn't make them equally fuck up simply for having some fucked up stuff. You're basically saying that child murdering rapists is as bad as someone who simply kills kids.

"You can, but you don't have to."
choice that Islam doesn't provide. This alone makes Christianity less barbaric religion.
"The fact that the bible has more contradictions doesn't make it a better book"
It does when it gives good people chance to be good people, instead of forcing them to do disgusting deeds.
"claim they follow the good jesus, and then use all the shit from the old testament to hate on gays, people of color, women."
None of this actually has anything to do with laws of the bible. That hate is justified in the religion itself by pointing that those things are either immoral or just bad for reason X. However gay people can still be gay, it just another sin in eyes of god but they still get to heaven as long as they praise jebus, while fucking another guy.
"If anything, the contradictory structure of the bible makes it worse, not better."
Rofl... well for person like you who doesn't care about lives of others then maybe.
"Name calling won't help your case."
Says guy who have been name calling others.
"Providing something brutal that the Quran allows and the bible doesn't, will."
I Did. I said OP provided quotes. You failed to provide quote which tells exactly the same.
