Questions on socialism and communism in state systems
A reader asks how a state becomes socialist or communist and whether ownership rights are controlled by the state. They inquire how a dissatisfied person could escape such a system, whether property owners are ousted or taxed, and why some economists label socialism and communism coercive.
From Tsarist to Socialist Society Concepts
The text argues that Russia would become communist through organized labor and state violence, with migration controlled by permits. It suggests a future shift between capitalism and socialism via majority vote or class decree, and contemplates reestablishing capitalism under Stalin. It also discusses property seizure, money’s value, and ownership in socialist versus capitalist systems.
