🚨🚨 BREAKING! 🚨🚨 Stranger on forum solves thousands of years long, unsolvable grudge that was the reason behind the many violent protests that used to be frequent on Lemmy and lead to mass deports, death and a lot of work on the local moderation.
Users from both sides now resorted to communicating with each other for the first time, and are teaming up to raise a monument in OP’s honor, sources say.
How dare you acknowledge the victims of [favoured ideology]! Everyone knows [favoured ideology] is perfect, and everything wrong with the world is because of those filthy [opposing ideology] zealots!
It seems as stupid as the focus on immigrants and skin color. It doesn’t really matter what the people in power are calling their economic policy if they’re using it to fuck everyone else to death.
Just another thing for people to feel like their petty bickering over is righteous and somehow going to make the world better while the world keeps getting decidedly not better.
What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?
It’s neutrons. I haven’t counted, but I think there are an awful lot of them inside me. They make me different.
There is a small difference. Real communism has never existed on this planet. Capitalism is everywhere.
You could make the same argument for capitalism. True capitalism would require complete abolishment of governments. There is a reason neither have happened, because in order to implement either in a functioning way, you need other elements. Capitalism without some socialist elements will end up killing most of the citizenry.
The implementation of pure communism creates such a massive bureaucracy and lack of opportunities for people who want power over others, that all the psychopaths get funneled into the top of the government where they start to extract the full wealth of the society into projects of folly.
The only solution anyone has found is for the 2 to keep each other in balance. This is what happens in successful societies. Anything too far in either direction and the working class is the first to suffer.
Most capitalists, new and old, don’t want to abolish goverments as they deem it a necessary part of capitalism, governments existing are in no way contradictory to capitalism in any way that capitalism isn’t contradictory to itself. Manchester capitalism was mostly “pure” capitalism and in fact many people died, at such a rate that it became uneconomic to continue as there wouldn’t have been any workers left. Welfare isn’t socialist as socialism is the abolishment of capitalism, while public welfare is intended to maintain the capitalist way of production. “Pure” communism does not have anything to do with the USSR or whatever, as communism, opposed to capitalism, does want to and has as necessary part the abolishment of goverment/the state, so you’re second paragraph could only make sense regarding socialism.
The vanguard party magically never wants to give up the power they usurped. All authoritarians are the same.
Compromise? In memory of the 1,000,000 victims of communism with capitalist characteristics?
Wow, pretending there’s no victims of capitalism with socialist charactetistics? Just… wow.
Heroin is the drug, heronine is a girl coded hero.
Its harder to make a point that there has ever really been an Anarchist movement which resulted in horror because people either:
or
If I were being semantic I would say Communism needs to be put in Quotes.
It’s never “real communism”, because real communism is an ideal thing that can only actually happen when no one in any position of power abuses that for personal gain. No matter how many times it’s tried, people exist and will fuck it up. The same type of people who turn capitalism into baby crushing factories.
Some contrarian
Minus the “rarian”.
this guy has the right idea
Crazy how much hate was being spewed at me when I’m just a sweet guy.
We should just celebrate the good things, like the otters returning to the Bronx.
Ikr
With communism you pay for a billion funerals and everyone’s broke but with capitalism a billion funerals and the funeral director is a trillionaire so which is the real broken system?
Well, odds are we’re dead either way. They seem equally fucked for the majority when used in real world conditions.
It’s mean to pick on people with developmental disorders. He can’t keep himself from making that face.
You’re saying he didn’t fully develop??? What was he gonna be a fucking actual gorilla.
