  1. i think that a true socialist government involves a three-way party-state-union framework: the party leads the state through organic centralism and multi-party democracy (i call a multi-party socialist democracy 'proletarian liberalism', rather than centre-right bourgeois liberalism); the state controls and coordinates (led by the workers and farmers themselves - a dictatorship of the proletariat) with a coalition of political parties in the government (the vanguard socialist party is the lead party, the big cheese); the union handles economics and such (a planned market economy is a true socialist economy) in a 'council of the economy', led by a national trade union federation.

  2. all political parties should be put in the care of the proletariat, rather than the oligarchs (or the people who enable the oligarchs. the general secretary of the vanguard party is the highest-ranking role, but the president and premier are the real leaders. the policies were enforced to prevent authoritarian stuff.

  3. in addition, private property exists alongside public and collective property; competition exists as it helps drive innovation; strict antitrust and antimonopoly laws were enforced; all corporations get split and collectivized by the workers. landowners get stripped of their landowner role, so the tenants get to be their own landowners, and they pay the taxes to the land and other stuff (taxation is NOT theft in any way, shape and form). property (whether private or public or collectivized) becomes regulated to avoid inequalities and such

  4. wealth is redistributed among everyone, and everyone is paid fairly - everyone gets a dividend of $1000 per month (financed through public banking run by the government). labor value is measured through an accounting system. the government controls how much money people spend - if they wanna exchange currency for goods and services without getting the guilt of being poorer, they can use labor vouchers. ethical consumption is allowed under market socialism. private, public and collective ownership co-exist peacefully (but private companies are regulated).

  5. rich people are taxed, and so does churches. food stamps (and snap benefits), bridge cards and welfare are important.

what do you think?

edit: listen the point is that i support full-fledged market socialism within a government that had three-way power between the parties, the state and the union. seriously!

that's not a real thing. communist organisations are rooted in their social and economic enviornment. to join such an org you will have to reach out to your local chapter and participate in local activities.

i CAN'T go outside without permission

If you're in the US, then I recommend joining PSL's Action Network. It's a sort of online periphery for their organization focused a lot on socialist education and providing materials for activism, though you can ignore the second part if you can't go outside and just throw those away when you get them from the mail. But it costs a little money, so if you can't go outside because of an age or dependency thing, that might be an issue. But it's a pay what you can kind of thing, so they're extremely flexible. They have actual links to things like conferences, they hosted an educational Socialism Summer School this last summer, things like that, too.

Otherwise I recommend theory reading threads on this site from Cowbee on hexbear or on Lemmygrad, when they start over. They're basically like book clubs you sign up for where they pick a book, a few pages every week, and then discuss it in a thread.

Other than that, you're on the right track so don't let the criticism and all the responses get to you. You're putting your thoughts out there to be critically examined, reviewed, questioned, and analyzed, which is more than most people do (even on this site) and can be a component of self-growth.

then that sounds like the primary issue
