They continued to defend him at every opportunity. Were they mad that maybe they personally weren't liking the effects the war was having on their lifestyles and that the authorities were a little too authoritative? Sure. But like Trump, his supporters were mad supportive of him, despite their occasional unhappiness with his conduct. They didn't do anything like an honest poll to gauge their approval of their leader, did they? So, how do you know this? Some historians interpretation of a few tentative magazine articles? The self serving self reports of German survivors after the fact? HOW, exactly?

      As soon as a person starts using the term "petty bourgeoise" I'm done with them. (In modern debate.) The communists and socialists of the 1900s weren't using hundred year old terminology to impress the rubes. They used words that meant something to the people of THEIR time, because they actually wanted to inform, motivate, and persuade. Nobody relates to such terms in 2021. We don't sort ourselves in the same way they did. We don't use the same language. Using modern terms for the groups we actually recognize today, actually informs, persuades, and motivates. If you want to win the debate, don't quote Marx or Ingles, tell us what works, how. Use YOUR words, the words we today relate to. Otherwise, I assume you don't actually understand the shit you're just regurgitating, let alone understand ME, and the world we live in. Forgive the little rant. This is just a personal pet peeve.

      @@SplotPublishing Also a problem was corruption, atleast in the GDR, which made the economy even more unpredictable. People were rewarded for how close they got to their quota, and there were several ways in which people exploited that.
      One trick was to hide a part of the stuff one produces and to add it to a later shipment to artificially pump up one's productivity.
      A trick often used in combination with the first one was lying to the planners when they came to inspect one's factory to keep one's quota low so that there was surplus to hide in the first place. "Oh, yeah, we usually have 12 machines here for making shoes, but machine number 7 isn't working right now, we're waiting for spare parts to fix up number 10, and number 4 is running on half capacity because there have been some strange noises and we're still waiting for the technician to have a look at it."
      Then, once the planners were gone, all 12 machines were up and running at full capacity.
      At first that doesn't sound like a problem untill one considers that a higher productivity in processing factories means a need for more ressources, which in turn might be missing in another place, e.g. cloth now used for more shoes could've been used for more clothing. Or the state might have opened up another factory that was meant to supplement the production of what ever factory 1 could have produced on its own, again leading to overproduction, possibly at the expense of missing ressources in other places.

So if you try to do co-op socialism foreign companies will just leave crashing your economy. (why would they share profits and property with workers?)
      You need a phase of state capitalism to develop a national industry that makes you independent enough of foreign investment. Then you can expropiate your industry and do what you want.

    How it sounded when the Tankie asked Vaush what a market is:
    Tankie: Knock knock
    Vaush: Who's there?
    Tankie: Market
    Vaush: Market who?
    Tankie: HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT A MARKET IS! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! KEEP ENJOYING THE GRIFT!

      They are so disengenious it pisses me off. They will ask very benign questions rather than just making their argument.
      Vaush: *Rebuttle*
      Tankie: "Can you define X?"
      Vaush: Defines X
      Tankie: No X is defined as....
      It's just a very disengenous thing to do. Conservatives and generally people who know they don't argument try to do. It's posturing and it makes you come off as a jackass. Just say your argument rather than posture over a word for another 5 minutes. It makes debates go so much faster when you do.

      @@Fr33Kingdom incorrect. He was asked to answer a rhetorical question. Rhetorical answers are, by definition, not supposed to be answered.
      So when Vaush answered "I don't know. What's a market?", He did the equivalent of responding "market who" in a knock knock joke.
      That said, even if we assume that Vaush genuinely didn't know what a market is, that STILL doesn't invalidate his knowledge or his argument. By declaring victory on this, the Tankie exposes their ineptitude as an interlocutor.
      The Tankie demonstrated fundamental understanding of **concepts**, which speak to flaws in an argument. Understanding concepts is more important than knowing the definition of a given term.
      It is possible to understand a **concept*", even if you don't know what a specific **term** means. (An example of this is Joni Mitchell, who was a musical genius, but didn't have a formal training in music, so didn't know the official terms for any musical concepts)

      I agree. I dislike tankies a lot but if you're debating them you gotta let them talk and lay out their points. It's easier to show where they're wrong and crazy that way. In this case, I don't even know what the topic was because they talked about seemingly random issues for a bit and then dropped them to jump to something else.

    Anytime anyone brings up the Soviet Union, Vaush should just bring up the 1917 Constituent Assembly elections held after the October Revolution, which the Bolsheviks narrowly lost. The winners were the Socialist Revolutionary Party led by Victor Chernov, a former Menshevik and avowed Democratic Socialist. Despite the fact that Socialist parties won over 90% of the seats in the Assembly, whose task was to approve a new provisional government and draft a permanent constitution for the Soviet Union, the Bolsheviks under Lenin stormed the Assembly, arrested it’s members and dissolved the body for good. Note that these were the first free and fair elections held in Russian history, under universal suffrage and proportional representation where socialist parties overwhelmingly dominated the chamber. Lenin and the Bolsheviks would’ve most likely been excluded from any socialist government because they were widely considered to be lunatics, however, there was a chance for Russia to have been a democratic and socialist society. But the Bolsheviks broke their promise and the rest is history.

    • @dwi2921
      @dwi2921 2 года назад

      The SRP were agarian socialists. So it was not really a surprise they won. Russia was a primarily rural county at the time. Yes the Bolsheviks were incredibly unpopular, taking LAST place in the general elections. But of course it was Lenin's way or the highway.
      However I would argue that this event was inevitable. Violent revolutions tent to allow the scum to rise to the top. There are exceptions (sush as the USA and the Irish Republic), but they seem to be the exceptions that prove the rule. The winners of civil wars tend to be those who are willing to go the furthest, abandoning all scruples along the way if it suits them.
