There is genuinely no way for “free market” Right-Wingers to cope over North Korea’s economic success story.
It hasn’t adopted market reforms like China and Vietnam did. It retained centrally planned, conventional socialist economics. And it’s thriving in spite of having been besieged and isolated by the US for decades.
That’s the power of Communism.
That’s a straw man, no one smart enough to have human rights is, or would, claim the any worker ‘owns’ the building individually. All value comes from collective labor, from the brick makers to the builders to the farmers supplying stores. Private ownership by executives and shareholders just skims the surplus that workers create; social ownership by the producers fixes that exploitation, not some infinite regress of ‘who made what.’
works did not build the store? the shelves? the products? the agricultural equipment, utilities in the store, utilities in the city, the streets to the store, etc? no one deserves anything, but the most efficient method of management and ownership is not amongst nepotist executive MBAs, foreign H1Bs tech 'talent' and stockholders (private equity)
@SunilSharmaUK Would be ideal for the centimillionaires and billionaires; that way nothing would truly change and he’d lose his credibility as a insider to the elite classes. Very stupid and vapid understanding you have, but it’s actually on purpose, you know how dumb it is.
They also built the machines and the buttons on them, workers programmed the machines, built the factory around the machines, brought the assumed material to the factory, installed the electricity, built the roads to the factory, built the trucks bringing in the materials and people, etc etc
@angel_enough_@melvindojoduels@iceycoffeey Not true, evidence is quickly mounting in opposite direction. These are the best out rn but more have been incoming recently; Ramsden et al. (2013) BMJ, Ramsden et al. (2016) BMJ, DiNicolantonio & O’Keefe (2018) Open Heart.
@nosleeptil48362@markobilal@clashreport@ricwe123 lmao no facts just screaming, like a child throwing a tantrum. serbia isnt in nato and vucic balances russia and china against western pressure. youre the one regurgitating opposition propaganda with zero numbers. Idiot
Wrong again. Serbia’s public debt to GDP peaked at 67.3% in 2015 and is now 44.4% in 2025, it fell, not tripled, check the numbers from the Ministry of Finance and CEIC data instead of lying.
The canopy collapse in Novi Sad was tragic and 16 people died, but blaming it all on Vucic as a EU/NATO puppet ignores the construction issues and the fact that protests were quickly hijacked by opposition forces pushing Western agendas.
Serbia under Vucic refuses NATO alignment, keeps ties with Russia and China, and isnt the puppet you claim. You simply dont know what youre talking about or youre regurgitating the western imperialist line used to attack any leader who doesnt obey NATO
@nikolaivsevolod@tadgh_dc Corporatism is only instituted when ruling elites believe they’re under extreme threat of violent revolution, or violent revolt. Neither is relevant now, especially not in the US. It does not occur naturally nor can be peacefully organized and installed.
Serbia’s public debt to GDP peaked near 2015 and has fallen almost by half in 2025.
Manufacturing and industry free under vucic, major FDI in autos plus the 2016 Chinese acquisition of the Smederevo steel mill saved thousands of jobs.
Corruption Perceptions Index worsened but that ignores the region’s pre vucic history, and ignores the CPI as a tool for western imperialist story building to condemn countries and leaders who don’t follow exact NATO orders
