OOP describes themselves as “pro-corporation”, thinks modern Russia is communist, and seems to spend an awful lot of time immersed in 4chan. Either they’re trolling or they’re about as bright as a cloudy night sky, and I don’t much care which it is

That would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. I’m pretty sure even Soviet Union wasn’t communist, despite their attempts to pretend otherwise

Soviet Russia never really said it was communist, neither did the other east European states. They said they had socialism and communism was the goal to reach in the future.

Are they under the impression that capitalism (or any economic philosophy) has some sort of authoritative answer to the wild possibility of an alien encounter?

They are pretty much asking if socialists will allow people to do capitalism on aliens if they are weaker than us.

“If we stop exploiting humans, can we still exploit other undiscovered intelligent species?”

I mean, standard marching orders for capitalism/imperialism are:

if someone else has it, take it from them. Weapons free.

The Posadists answer this question by asserting that any advanced alien civilisation will have developed Full Communism, in which case the Space Comrades can teach it to humanity.

Socialism doesn’t support grabbing other people’s means of production, it’s about how we manage our own.
