    Stalinists, Maoists and Socialists (at least the reformist ones) are pro-capital, just under a different form. They love their commodity production and wage labor…

    Serious question: has communism ever been proved to work at scale? (not communist regimes, the communist ideology)

      Have to get past American and western interventionism to figure it out. But socialism lifted millions out of poverty look at china and Russian history. Both countries went from feudal and monarchal society to industrial powers houses rivaling the United States in mere decades. So I’d say yes socialism does work.

      No system has ever worked at scale. Capitalism is literally destroying the planet we live on, Feudalism wasn’t any better, and no other system was ever applied at such a scale.
      Maybe the scale is the problem, and the Anarchists were right all along.
