The language of the executive order Biden signed has no policy instructions, no funding or assignment of jurisdiction/authority to enforce.
It's empty words from an empty suit president who can't even utter the word abortion.
@Plain_Old_Tim Both of u have srs problems w narcissism. And an unhealthy hatred for your fellow human beings. Therapy really can help with that. I know it's comforting inside those fantasies you believe in but one day you'll have to grow up & face the truth. You can do it. I believe in you. ☺
@Plain_Old_Tim I provided plenty of evidence: of ideology, of different ways of being. Just bc u don't like the evidence doesn't mean it's not there. Plenty of proof as well as logic. Unlike you fellas I don't just bellow my opinion then throw a tantrum when ppl don't automatically believe me.
@enlightenedwan@Plain_Old_Tim @SocialismBC I've given u numerous ways the problem cld be dealt with, always democratic. You not liking the answer, u being so narcissistic u have to convince yourself you're better than others, that's on u. You should see a therapist about your hatred for your fellow man. It's not healthy.
@enlightenedwan@Plain_Old_Tim @SocialismBC Not my fault u lack the intelligence to have an imaginative capacity.Ppl like u were the ones during feudalism who said capitalism was impossible. Well history saw the impossible happen &will again. Just bc ur too dense to comprehend it doesn't make it impossible. Get over urself
@enlightenedwan@Plain_Old_Tim @SocialismBC I've given you multiple plans, you just don't like the answers. Again, there are infinite ways a community might decide to deal with it. Could even include some form of tax. Only folks like you who have your wages robbed and ask your oppressors to take more are the laughingstock.
@Plain_Old_Tim@enlightenedwan @SocialismBC Point being, both the good and bad of the Soviet Union are not indicative of life under a truly communist society. US imperialism saw to that.
@Plain_Old_Tim@enlightenedwan @SocialismBC Plus many workers not unmotivated. Add to that the imperialist embargos & sanctions that crippled the Soviet economy--much like the oppression the US inflicts on places like Cuba or the DPRK today--& you can see that true communism never had a real chance

@Plain_Old_Tim@enlightenedwan @SocialismBC Under such constraints the workers didn't have the opportunity to engage in that fulfilling work communism promises. In capitalist fashion they were relegated to meaningless rote labor almost entirely. Can't really blame folks for being disincentivized when put in that situation.
@Plain_Old_Tim@enlightenedwan @SocialismBC Soviet ideology was collectivist but employment relations were individ, hence capitalist. Workers required to work to procure means of subsistence: that's the situation capitalism puts workers into. The power structure merely took place of, rather than abolishing, the bourgeoisie
@Plain_Old_Tim@enlightenedwan @SocialismBC Fallacy:appeal to authority &not a v good authority at that. He's been outed before as publishing misleading work, not good praxis for a doc. But the point ur trying to make gets to the problem of the Soviet Union: it wasn't really communist, tho it had some socialist tendencies.
@enlightenedwan@Plain_Old_Tim @SocialismBC You really ought to stop theorizing about how society works, what society needs, why people are the way they are, etc., etc., ad nauseam. You're not very good at it. You don't do nearly enough research.
@enlightenedwan@Plain_Old_Tim @SocialismBC Proof? Oh u STILL don't have any! Ur shouting opinions like a child. Efficiency has nothing to do w success/failure &everything to do w exploiting workers to a greater &greater degree, making them work more & more hrs. A myth capitalist tells to keep u running in ur hamster wheel
@Plain_Old_Tim Ur living in a fantasy, hearing what u wanna hear: just because u drank the propaganda kool aid doesn't prove a communist society wld be authoritarian. That's opposite of what communists want: for ppl to rule themselves. Ftr ur the one who equated democracy w mob rule. Do better.
@Plain_Old_Tim Really? Society &/or gov tells us: what kinds of jobs to get, what to study, to pay taxes, who's paid what (women paid less than men),who to employ, who's acceptable (undoc immigrants not welcome), who benefits at others' expense (the rich), what political beliefs are allowed,etc
@Plain_Old_Tim@enlightenedwan @SocialismBC Who wants to feel like they're useless, like they can't contribute? Who'll sit back & say, I'm not going to clean up my shit-stained living room, I don't feel like it, I'll just live in the shit? You've reduced ur arg to absurdism. Walk away before you embarrass yourself further.
@Plain_Old_Tim@enlightenedwan @SocialismBC I already said somewhere that your proposition of 95% of ppl working would be sufficient. Probably even 80% could work. So if there really was someone who wouldn't work, society could cover for him. But AGAIN you're using a fallacy bc you can't disprove the arg on its own terms.
@enlightenedwan@Plain_Old_Tim @SocialismBC But AGAIN you're using a fallacy, the red herring, bc you're unable to dispute the argument on its own terms. Face it. You've lost. Sorry, but it's inherent to what you're defending. Capitalism is illogical. You'll never win a logical debate so long as you continue to defend it.
@enlightenedwan@Plain_Old_Tim @SocialismBC When did I say "force"? Show me. You can't bc I never said it: straw man fallacy. I said it'd be dealt w democratically. Maybe they'd decide they cld manage w/o him. Maybe they'd help him see, diplomatically, why his labor's needed. Up to the community to figure out a way forward
