  Communism, where everyone is equal but some are more equal then others.

  • Godric@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Don’t forget certain people are significantly less equal, but they’re reactionaries and they don’t count as people, so it’s O.K.

  If all Communism is Soviet, then all capitalism is The Dutch East India Company.

  Racism, slavery, and settler colonialism is the origin story of capitalism. But yea, the gulags were bad and stuff.

  “Communism has never existed so any criticism of communist regimes is invalid”

  • agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It is very possible to both acknowledge that communism has not, in fact, existed and that regimes that used the word “Communist” are deserving of criticism. It could stand to happen more often tho

    This meme was born out of .ml users spamming my post mentioning branches of the family tree that were killed in Europe. Once one finds a post that hurts their political feelings, five more clowns come out of the woodwork

    This isn’t the prevailing attitude on this platform at all and so you saying this feels very fictitious and fabricated for a cheap political win against a strawman.

      You can look at my post history and check the comments on the communist related posts. You’ll find quickly tha5 you’re wrong.

  is this ragebait? who the fuck cares what some assholes did in the 20th century. assholes have always existed and will always exist in any government. the real issues weren’t with the ideals of redistributing wealth, but with forbidding freedom of opinion, freedom of speed, and freedom to not agree to the atrocities carried out by the government. that has nothing to do with economic policy at all.
