Die Abteilung #energiesystemanalyse sucht eine*n Informatiker*in, der*die Lust auf anwendungsbezogene Toolentwicklung rund um Energiewendethemen hat. Das Team ist sehr interdisziplinär (aka einige gänzlich ohne Programmierkenntnisse), so das auch viel über die Tools gesprochen und Ideen gemeinsam entwickelt werden müssen. Dafür gibt es aber auch viel Gestaltungsfreiraum. Und alle Vor- und Nachteile des Jobs einer*eines Wissenschaftlerin*Wissenschaftlers.

Neither system is perfect. Pure capitalism can lead to inequality and under-provided public services, while pure socialism can stifle innovation and create inefficiency. The best-performing countries today typically combine elements of both.

So as anything in life too much of one thing can be bad. It would be nice for everyone to receive free healthcare and higher education in US. I often watch various global news networks. It is odd to see US, Canada, UK all struggling with same issues economically.

UK has 28 million people on assistance out of work. It also has 28 million people employed. So half the UK is paying to support the other half. That is wild to think about.

Canada has a housing crisis currently.

There's no such thing as "pure capitalism" or "pure socialism." Every socialist system has elements of private property, and every capitalist system has elements of public property. A system is capitalist if the large firms and key industries are private, and socialist if the large firms and key industries are public. This is all nonsense on your part, socialist systems have been at the peak of innovation throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

I'm not sure why you brought up a bunch of capitalist countries failing because of issues systemic to capitalism at the end, it didn't really help your point. Moreover, there is no "combining the best of both," the system is determined by what is principle, meaning you can't be both. Furthermore, I think you're alluding to the Nordic Countries, but those are capitalist, deteriorating, and depend on imperialism like the rest of the global north.

I think you should do a bit more reading on what socialism and communism even are to begin with before trying to have discussions about them, same with capitalism.

Scandinavian Social Democratic countries, like Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland, have much higher standards of living, better quality universal healthcare, and more economic, political, and social freedoms than Marxist-Leninist states have ever had. I'll need a citation for these countries deteriorating. You saying that these countries are still imperialist doesn't negate how much better they are to live in.

Unfortunately, you don't understand what you're talking about. These Social Democracies (really capitalistic states with strong worker protections) still benefit from imperialism on the Global South.

The contradictions inherent to capitalism still exist within these states as well. There are proletarians and there are bourgeoisie. The cost of living within these states is rapidly increasing, and reactionary sentiment is booming because people from the (1)

(2) countries that these states, which you almost call utopian, have been destabilizing, are immigrating to these states en masse.

"[Scandinavian states] have much higher standards of living, better quality universal healthcare, and more economic, political, and social freedoms than Marxist-Leninist states have ever had."

What a ridiculous statement. China and the USSR went from backwater peasant countries to world superpowers in less than a century.

(3) Their citizens pay very little for housing, healthcare, food, transportation, and education, all without the colonization and terrorism that these Scandinavian states do.

When the proletariat is the ruling class of the state, the state will work within the proletariat's self interest, and crush bourgeois oppression.

Bourgeois democracies like these Scandinavian states only work in the interest of the bourgeoisie, and placate the proletariat.

(4) All states you have mentioned permit lobbying (bribing of parliamentary representatives), and they bail out large corporations in times of crisis. This is bourgeois rule. People like you are a consequence of CIA propaganda and illiteracy.
in reply to gray

Nordic states aren't utopian or without fault. They provide a better standard of living than Marxist-Leninist states, which do provide free healthcare and housing, but the best of these things are reserved for people with higher social status like party members and their families. There's much better quality housing and healthcare for people in Nordic states than Marxist-Leninist states had/have and distributed more equally.

Nordic citizens also have far more social, economic, and political freedoms than their ML counterparts. Life for workers and people in general is clearly better in theee Nordic countries.

What a baseless qualitative measurement. Please continue to be a sycophant for these states, while their cadre terrorize people in the Global South, hitlerite.
in reply to gray

The qualities I'm measuring are things like individual freedoms and the quality of healthcare and housing, but apparently, these means of measuring are "baseless" to you, so why don't you tell me what means of measuring you used to conclude that ML states are better than Nordic states

@graythehue @Cowbee @salty_chief

in reply to Cowbee [he/they]

Don't waste your time arguing with these sorts of people. They refuse to do preliminary research and parrot the latest AmeriKKKan talking points. They have their heads up their asses while socialist countries like China and Vietnam rapidly advance their standard of living. Genuinely sad how blind these people are.
in reply to gray

I don't deny that China and Vietnam's standards of living are improving, but what are their standards of living currently, what criteria are you using when measuring standards of living, and are their standards of living better than the best capitalism has produced?
