Yaozee, I see you are from the People's Republic of China, I've known some Marxist students there. I myself am a socialist. I believe there is only one or two other socialists on this board.

I don't know what socialism really is.
Surely I am not a socialist.
Do you think China is a socialism country? :confused:

Well that's a complicated question, because socialism has several meanings now.
Socialism is often a term used to describe all left wing parties that are against market economics, from communist to anarchist.
Socialism in marxist theory, is the stage of development after capitalism but before communism.
Socialism is nowadays often in Europe used instead of social-democrat.
Marxism is the political theory and analysis developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, and expanded by several other theorists into many different directions.

No I don't. It's economy is based largely in capitalist theory.
Socialism in marxist theory, is the stage of development after capitalism but before communism.
Thanks :)
i never quite got that... i don't particuarly subscribe to marxist theory, the idea of capitalism just being a stage of social evolution... i don't think you can talk about society 'evolving' in the same way as used in science.
i'm fairly neutral in politics... work hard, play hard, live and let live. Socialism handled well would be far better an idea than capitalism though.

I think it's rather fascinating to see how well marxist analysis applies to society. How society has developed in quite the same way economically, as species develop in nature.
Society doesn't just develop economically though. I personally feel that marxist anaylsis only referes to economics of society, so it really only applies to 'economically developed' societies. If it doens't apply to all societies then how can it be a valid social theory?

No, but by economics Marxists usually refer to the relations surrounding the form of production of a current society. Because this is what will shape society to it's very bone. And I think that's quite accurate.

Most Americans consider any economic system socialist that's less laissez-faire then America's.

form of production.... to me that relates to industrialised society. maybe i'm wrong...

Not really. In the industrialized society, manufacturisation is the form of production. Before that, in the feudal society, the form of production was much more agricultural based. And before the feudal society there were tribes, and these tribes were, based on which level of development they had reached, under different forms of production.
Sic, it's not really an American thing, you will find that with anyone who thinks that the free movement of capital = the complete freedom of the people.

the 'production' in tribal societies is communal hunting... which is not really production in the marxist sense as there is no relationship between means and ownership.

Hunting and gathering. But tribes have been known to farm to. Before the feudal stage. Tribes go through several stages.
And as far as tribes go, there was ownership, it was a communal ownership, in which the patriach or the matriarch would get the biggest share and it would divide itself down that way.
i don't believe that tribes go through serveral stages... there are plenty of tribes around the world that have remained the same for centuries. that's what i believe is a fundemental error in marxist theory... the idea of evolving societies, its not stages, but changes.

Well that depends on many things. Evolution always has to happen when certain material pre-requisites are met. And whether or not the tribe is consciously ready for progress. Because there are tribes that prefer traditionalism over westernisation.
But tribes do go through several stages that we don't even notice. Even right down from mating patterns and who raises which children etc. I lack the words in English, because I read this topic in Danish. But often tribes do, early on, have a lot of in-breeding. At this stage it is usually a matriarch that runs the tribe. Then as the tribal society evolves, more and more taboos are put on mating (like don't mate with your sister or cousin or their families.)
