  • I have read a few books on it, take that as you like.

  • I think anarchism is a cool idea.

    Also I haven't studied Marxism.

    And a lot of the arguments I raise here are implemetational, so there is a very big difference from a socialist country to a socialist country.

  • Socialism, by necessity, has more distributed power than capitalism

    I assume here you mean that this is because the party must fulfill the demands of the citizens and not only of the capitalists.

    But if we go back to the beginning I am arguing that in case of thus structured power structures the party and the capitalists are one. So they can use the same ticks that capitalists use now to manipulate the public and answer only to themselves.

  • I have and also I am from a country with famously failed socialist experiment.

    The part that I am most unsure of is the concentration of power within a small group of people. Yes they will be elected but elections can be rigged.

    That concentration of power means the system is ripe for abuse. Maybe not in the beginning when the leaders are versed in Marxism or whatever socialism they believe in. But eventually this power going to someone with selfish intentions will not be good.

  • I am showing it has happened before, we can also see musk and twitter oh how he is championing the far right.

    Also we were talking about technology in general. You moved the conversation to social media because there has been a lot of noise around TikTok. Do better.

  • states and markets are entirely different things,

    They are both power structures.

    erasing the basis of class struggle and therefore the oppressive elements of government that make up the state.

    IMO you will just create new class (the party) vs the workers. Why would the ruling class relinquish the power that they have?

  • The an all powerful party would? How?

    Jump

  • Yeah that is one way of seeing it, but I am from an ex socialist county and the idea of communism can also be easily abused and co-opted.

    As long as there are power structures be it the market or the state. The people cannot be free.

    And I also believe you cannot free other people they must free themselves. If you forcefully free someone you are just imposing new rules.

  • But they aren't doing the exactly same thing. Even if we assume TikTok algorithm has been tampered with to restrict people. Facebook is directly responsible for deaths .

  • There were several court cases about Facebook meddling in foreign elections. This further proves that us tech is more dangerous.

  • True, but so are Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

  • Suggesting US tech is as risky as Chinese tech is ‘a giant false equivalency,’ top US cyber official says.

    Yeah it is much more risky. China hasn't used it's tech to affect policy in the EU so far while the US has.

  • For the most part, yes there are even anarcho-communists. But at the same there is a big difference in the non-authoritarian view of the anarchists and some communists.

  • all of it apparently

    Jump

  • Well it is a representative democracy in most cases, so in reality it is governed by people's representatives. That is a big difference because the market also represents the interests of the people in the way of price setting and supply and demand. And we can see it is not working.

  • all of it apparently

    Jump

  • If we agreed the market can't self regulate, why would the state be able to?
