SOCIALISM YESTERDAY and TODAY

SOCIALISM YESTERDAY and TODAY

Hugo Adan Sep 12 2019

This is an answer to:

SOCIALISM IS DESTROYING AMERICA  

Socialism hasn’t made America great. It has destroyed our freedom, our self-reliance, our faith in voluntary charity, and our economic well-being...

….

That is a case of paranoia schizoid: A teenager drop a nasty ‘pedo’ & wonder where the smell comes from. Don’t panic: you paranoia and your flatulence has psychological bases & could be treated  in a psychiatric clinic.

Meanwhile try to come to reality:  There is not socialism in America,  we have here just the opposite: the domain of ‘PRIVATE GREED’ where big bankers & big Corp profit from QEs & bailout, plus State expending in manufacturing guns & war to sell it off –putting at risk the genocide of the whole humanity with WW3- This is called “neoliberal capitalism”, just the opposite to socialism.

When socialism comes to America we will reconstruct the system: The ‘PUBLIC-NEED’ will be our main concern. The best public health and best public education for all is of course main priority, as well as protection of equal right for all.

Socialism implies

1- the liquidation of speculative business and protection of productive capitalism at all levels.

2- the transfer of means of production given by nature (minerals , oil, gas, waters, etc) to the central State (SOEs: State Owned Enterprises) in coordination with  associated private-production-investor  (big, middle & small) according to Plans of reconstruction agreed.

Yesterday Marx (in Das Kapital) said:

 “Capital, therefore presupposes wage-labor;  wage labor presupposes capital. They condition each other; each brings the other in to existence” (WLC, 1849).

In Spanish it was translated this way: 

“El capital presupone el trabajo asalariado  y el trabajo asalariado presupone el capital. Ambos se necesitan y condicionan mutuamente. Cada uno de ellos da origen al otro.” In TAC-1849: Trabajo Asalariado y Capital.

That is our aim today: CAPITAL AND LABOR COORDINATION, this is the type of real transition we all socialist aspire. 

The other principle that guide us is:

“To each according to his ability.  To each according to his needs”. Das Kapital

Translated to Spanish as :

“A cada quien según sus habilidades y capacidades y a todos para que cubran sus necesidades vitales y humanas” (CPG, 1875: Critica del Programa de Gotha).

THAT  WAS YESTERDAY and IT IS TODAY SOCIALISM.
