Reply to comment by TheManInTheShack in "A socialist society has no room for parties or trade unions. [...] The struggle is for the simultaneous abolition of both market and production relations, [...]for the abolition of the differences in the working class brought about by the capitalist division of labor." by Maxwellsdemon17

“All forms of life compete for resources”.

I guess ants don’t exist then. Nor any other social animals.

Ffs every single social species shares resources and don’t compete with each other, we’re the only one who does that.

I wouldn't use ants as an example considering they constantly wage wars against other colonies and will wipe out any small creatures that are in their way and are constantly expanding. Sure they don't compete within the colony but they will against colonies even of the same species

The point is that socialism is based on socialisation and living as a society, capitalism is a parasitic system based on exploiting others to death, until you eventually die yourself because you can’t sustain yourself.

That’s also the difference between parasites and social organisms.

So saying all forms of life compete for resources is an utter nonsense, otherwise social species wouldn’t exist, including mankind.

That’s not true. Ants wage war. Chimpanzees have been known to do so as well. Dolphins gang rape other dolphins.

But forgetting all that, all those species social groups compete with other social groups of their own species and other species for resources. No living thing is immune to competition.

What if dolphins don't have the concept of rape? What if to them it's just sex?
