For Hitler and Nazi Germany it certainly was a way to prepare for expansionist wars: https://www.richardjevans.com/lectures/autarky-fantasy-reality/

I was just in Denmark recently and it seems like that’s what they have: a capitalist society but regulated by very socialist policies like (really) high taxes. Makes sense to me - I’m probably just not using the right terminology.

They’re all ‘one-party states’ aren’t they?

Opposite of democracy… so whether they work well economically is irrelevant, since you’re relying on the party not to become totalitarian. 😬

Socialism yes. I’ve always thought that capitalism regulated with socialist policies is the way forward. That way you can still encourage entrepreneurs to get going.

But we’re still left with the r > g problem (money attracts more money).

Communism is the extreme end of socialism isn’t it? And I’ve always thought that extremes never work. Extremism is a circle…

I’m open to being educated on this though…

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

Probably could be more slick, but working fine for my everyday needs.

The touch screen didn’t work immediately, I had to search up for a command line solution to that. But most won’t face that if they flash onto other (non-Surface) hardware.

How about (instead of communism) aiming for an economy made up predominantly of co-operatives, like in the Basque country in Spain? The Mondragon federation of co-ops.

That way money is distruted quite evenly but you don’t have to get into the whole politics thing.

Hey dude, I’m interested in an EPUB copy. And I’ll share it with others who will benefit.
