I big problem afaik was simply the lack of computational power. The USSR was notedly slow and even unwilling to respect and adopt digital computers as a technology. It turns out that planning a complex economy (more or less) by hand is really hard and leads to mistakes!

Goodness me he cooks even harder in part 2

Edit: Ok he fumbles a take on AES at the end but whatever

Reading the names ”Boruto” and ”Hitler-Garcia” in sequence really got me ngl

Serious question, asking in good faith here as a non-mandarin speaking westerner:

If mainstream, policy-guiding economics is so overwhelmingly western (neoclassical), why is China on such a wildly different economic trajectory compared to the contradictory hellscape of the west? Is it the applications of these horribly unmarxist economics? Is it the remnants of mao-era policies? I’m very ignorant on this, but i’d love to learn more

“…shy guys (Jews)” is fucking sending me. What an absolute all-timer of a sentence

This lines up with my thinking. Thank you for clarifying!

Oh yeah I am not arguing BE’s position, I don’t particularly care. I’m more asking for my own count if there are reasons to be critical of Cuba as an AES project (moreso than others), and how that would tie into being a Trot position etc.

Well ok, let me rephrase: Is support of Cuba not an ML position?

Is it trot to believe in Cuba as a bastion of socialism in the “west”?

Edit: Genuine question, asking in good faith here

GOOD post

Thank you comrade!

Is there a source on this, especially globally?
