All my communist posts keep getting deleted there. It is crazy to me that a workers subreddit is not communist 😵‍💫. They are not going to achieve anything by being neoliberals.

    I’ve been wondering about this recently, will it be easier to re-industrialize than it was to industrialize at all first? Anyone have any essays about that?

      Honestly, it’s a really good question. I haven’t seen any articles or lectures discussing this issue myself.

      As for reindustrializing, I think that’s going to depend upon which countries are willing to provide trade and development to a post-industrial revolutionary country. Honestly, I think that it would require relying upon China heavily.

      The thing is for a country like mine, we have old factories which are mostly disused. It’s possible to get them back up and running again but there’s often the issue of retooling machinery and reestablishing the supply chains necessary to keep the machinery working, which assumes that the machinery is still supplied by whoever made it and that it’s serviceable. This is not necessarily the case, however but I’m far from an expert in these matters.

      In short, I think reindustrializing would be easier than industrializing was (assuming that there isn’t a total embargo against the country) but it will be a pretty arduous process to recreate all of the domestic supply chains and to retrain people in order to maintain the machinery necessary to reindustrialize.
