Yeah and I’m a small-headed Arch user

Main problem is that it doesn’t have voice and video calls there.

Let’s gooooo!

I’ll pray to Allah that this doesn’t get reintroduced to fuck us in the ass a couple years later. Y’all pray to whoever else to cover our bases.

It’s like every 2 days there is a catastrophic law for privacy introduced in the EU. Last time with E2EE now with HTTPS. It seems that the EU would agree to stop bit tech from spying but they don’t want anyone to hide from them.

Kinda stretching the meaning of pollution here aren’t we?

Oh yeah that makes sense. Because a revolution automatically means that your life expectancy increases. At this point, let’s just have continuous revoltuions back to back. We’ll live forever.

Fuck the owners.

Fine

Prove it (terrible outcomes for socialism)

The USSR, Cuba, PRC is better but for some reason they are very authoritarian.

What competition?

Granted there are many industries that don’t have good competition, but the vast majority do. Look at clothes makers, construction, pharma.

What value does Donald Trump bring to society?

He bought real estate where there was more demand than people expected, and took advantage of that. There was no apartments in the empty plot before Trump Tower, now there is and people want them.

Prove it. (innovation)

The USSR did have great amounts of innovation in the beginning, but once you get to a certain point, it just gets pretty much impossible. Look at the second person’s answer.

Prove it (reconcile)

While it is dumb to say that there are no texts to reconcile these issues. It is crazy how the USSR didn’t implement any solution except rewarding innovation to drive innovation. I’d say that is enough evidence to say with confidence that there are no existing solutions to the mentioned issues.

You mean completely unlike people brainwashed into believiing “capitalism gud?”

Sure there is some brainwashing in the right where they think capitalism is great in and of itself. I think that people also recognize that capitalism needs some good amount of regulation that would curb the failures there. It’s not perfect as it exists now, but it sure as shit better than any socialist or communist nation.

Socialism seems perfectly alive and kicking to me - despite the uncountable amounts of treasure spent violently crushing it.

If you’re gonna make enemies with the most powerful nation in the world, that usually happens. The USA saw a threat to their influence and took action.

What does bank reform mean? Banks already give loans to small bussinesses.

You can start a company that does what you want them to do. You can create all the innovative processes you want and open source them in the existing system.

The Soviet Union, Cuba, Vietnam. Are these countries you want us to model ourselves after?

So you think when the state owns the means of production things are gonna be better?

That’s really awesome, glad ypu’re here with us. I hope this shows people that even when you’re at your lowest point (or perceived lowest point), it’s not hopeless.

What kind of gun were you gonna get though?

If we stopped producing fossil fuels tomorrow, you don’t think they’re gonna be mass famines and global economic collapse?

We depend so much already on fossil fuels. The solution is to invest more into renewables and plastic alternatives, not to rip it out without proper work to avoid disaster.

When did any post that had Nazi propaganda get to the front page?

And I don’t know what are you talking about with the mocking socialism in Reddit. They even have the LateStageCapitalism sub, which is pretty popular.

Funny thing is that this comes from middle class people. There’s still VVS and flawless diamonds which are significantly more expensive. But they can’t afford one that looks any good. Given the choice they’d absolutely burn their money to buy those though.

Yeah maybe not exactly tankie but I think it’s close enough. The meme is still extremist since these people would probably kill any remaining capitalist in their imagined revolution.

There’s another post today about taking the means of production by force. I can probably find more that are not only extreme but are the most upvoted this month. But cope harder queen.

In which scenario do you think that you’re gonna live for longer and/or with a higher quality of life.

• Mass blowing up and destruction of fossil fuel infrastructure
• The status quo

Think about the implications of each scenario and let me know.

I can’t say I have definitive data on that but when I look at the front page which includes everything that is federated by lemm.ee, I see tankie posts often and people are mostly in agreement. Something like this I would call tankie, and I see one of those everyday, maybe every two days.

I’m not saying that anti capitalist things are extreme on their own. But when it’s mixed with the tolerance of overtly extreme memes makes you extreme. I’ll ask again, what if it was the case for a right wing ideology? What if that meme said something like “But Zoe, the Jews are taking all the wealth and will not stop voluntarily.” Would the existence of that hypothetical meme not make that community extremist? If it was just that meme on its own then fuck it, it’s just edgy shock value stuff. But when the community is always slanting on one side, the meme has a more serious connotation.

The existence of God is unfalsifiable, so you can’t say it’s untrue to the believer. Just make the rules and play by them. Also it’s more like 1500 years ago 🤓.
