(PART III of III)
LowIQTrash: "And then we had those massive public works projects, Mefo bills, nationalizing the central bank and effectively the money supply, etc. So, as far as socialism goes...the SU was not the only one practicing socialism, and certainly not the first either (Paris Commune? Kibbutz?)
Again, just as Kibbutz's are removed from anything related to the social ownership and democratic administration of a given society's means of production, nationalism is not socialism. And the Paris Commune lasted all of six (6) weeks.
(END OF PART III)
Be well
Good day
