Wtf

You ain't seen nothing yet bro 🤣

I hope this wasn’t in Canada.

that woman on the chair speaker thing didn't look like white hitler at all

They said it was Ontario... Wow Black women have no value outside of that space! Have you seen the welfare lines? They get everything for free. While Canadians starve.

I think that Ontario should literally kick Alberta out. Alberta is full of rednecks that are deeply involved in their kill culture and have no place in Canada. Albertans are a gross fringe minority and don't work for the money that is afforded them.

It mosdef is Canada mate 😄

Point of privilege sir: careful not to misgender her. She is a non binary person

that's an offense against felines and rodents ser.

also, these people make old school communists seem sane

I mean Che Guevara still looks good on a tee to this day, but I can't imagine wearing a tee with any of these people's faces on it

Point of privilege noted and will correct this immediately

socialism surely must be ded after this cycle. i mean, can you imagine these people actually getting off their arses and slinging a rifle? or laying bricks? the privilege level on them is obscene

They don't have the ability nor the competence for any of that, their skills lie elsewhere. As for socialism dying? I think this is it rising even more and these are the by products of a feminist-led socialist society, which differs from the Mao and Castro version.

the Tito version was the best, and almost nearly was effective. it's quite interesting to study how yugoslavian companies functioned. probably they were better organised than any modern capitalist version. the rest of the system was fucked though. but it's a fact that almost everyone knows of Gorenje brand of kitchen appliances. they were exporting and competing well against the rest of europe for the market. That was Slovenia. Slovenia in particular was probably the most effective of the former yugoslavian republics for manufacturing. i encounter their devices on a daily basis and their price point is below every other thing and the quality is better than china by at least a factor of 2.

What was the thing that set that model apart from everything else to be able to attain that level of mastery under an oppressive system?

This is what extinction looks like

claude wrote a nice potted answer that should clear it up and also shows why it was superior to the western capitalist model. it's probaably something that you would want if you were a worker in an organisation: Worker self-management — samoupravljanje. The workers' council ran the company. Elected management, decided wages, controlled investment. Not a suggestion box — actual authority over the enterprise. Two key differences made it work at the firm level: 1. Unlike the Soviet model, no central planner telling you what to make. You competed on open markets. Yugoslavia wasn't behind the iron curtain — Tito walked out on Stalin in '48 and traded with both sides. 2. Unlike Western capitalism, no absentee shareholders extracting value. Profit went to the people who built the product. Direct incentive to build quality. Gorenje's workers made excellent appliances because they personally benefited from them being excellent. Simple as that. The system failed at the macro level — the republics couldn't coordinate and the political class parasitized the structure. But at the enterprise level it produced exactly what you'd expect when the builders own the output.

Just embarrassing for Canada. These people are just clueless. We’re running a $60+ billion dollar annual deficit and they want to talk about pronouns and privilege. That stuff will quickly not matter if our country defaults.

this is also why there is still so much nostalgia about old yugo in the region. what they miss is the tito era business model. and what most socialists in the west actually want, is that same thing. the entire rest of communism was an economic and social and humanitarian disaster.

i've got claude to cook up a potential plan for a corporate structure for exactly this. not corporate, exactly. a kind of business association, and we embed the right of all contractors doing labor for the organisation to be part of a council that decides the work order. it's like the old yugoslavian system, carved out of the modern one in croatia. the hard part is i need to find 7 people to found it. but i don't think they all have to be software engineers even. 3d printing, custom hardware building, organic/health food products, even things like my ideas about making a product range for a modular archery system could be part of it.
