While I do strongly oppose fascism in all forms, call me a liberal hippie (Hi, liberal hippie!), but I prefer not to fight, and violence is NOT a good tactic. However if I do know martial arts, and some fascist hooligan comes at me, I would probably kick their ass in self-defense.
I’m looking to study socialist theory because I’m getting very sick and tired of capitalism going unchecked, as well as the conditions of the very archaic bourgeois-capitalist system that enable people to push others around because of who they are.
Do you have a community of people that won’t starve to death within days of trade being cut off?
I assume you’re talking about the famines that happened in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin - there are factors into why that happened such as the bureaucratization of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and lack of the agricultural tools needed for farming. If the US were a socialist country and they’d bring them a bunch of tractors and such (like in the alternate history story “Reds! A Revolutionary Timeline”), the famines wouldn’t happen. NOT being rude, NOT being insensitive, just saying.
Oh and I prefer regular Marxism and left-communism. Seriously!
No, I’m talking about you, dear liberal hippie, having a community that can survive a transition away from capitalism. Once you have that you can talk about the finer details like what to do once you’ve survived or what to do with the labor left over after you’ve done what is necessary to survive.
Unlike the USSR, we now live in a world where food production is highly commercialized, globalized, and industrialized. What if John Deere used Starlink to brick every tractor in your revolutionary polity with a malicious software update? What if the same happened with every food processing factory and food warehouse?
