@Beggarmidas@mastodon.social @chartier@toot.cafe Regulations became necessary due to so-called absentee landlords who were hard to lynch (for obvious reasons) if they overstepped social rules. And as is well-known, absentee landlords exist due to capitalism promoting them as the #1 way to add wealth. Unionbusting to keep labour down is also non-nonviolent. Also: both your examples are of state capitalistic systems working under threat of war. Food poverty isn't limited presently to North Korea, as you well know.

@iju@mastodon.social @chartier@toot.cafe You, uh do understand that socialism doesn't: scale worth a fuck for populations over 34 million, give or take because overwhelmed care quality drops off a delivery cliff -Population spread out over vast geographic areas predominatedf extreme low pop densities directly contravening a planned economy's need to centralize production & care -doesn't work well in culturally diverse populations due to it's creation of extreme & often incompatible range of delivery expectation

@iju@mastodon.social @chartier@toot.cafe You I HOPE did enough homework on the position you're advocating to understand that the country you're talking about applying it to HAS ALL THREE PREXISTING known points of socialism collapsing IN PLAY. RIGHT? Whats preferable? Working on improving a damaged system? Breaking the too large system into small enough national boxes to force the square peg in the round hole out of pure spite? Forcing a bad fit into a total crash so NOBODY gets a fuck'n thing from ANYONE?
