I’m an anarchocommunist, all states are evil.
Your local herpetology guy.
Feel free to AMA about picking a pet/reptiles in general, I have a lot of recommendations for that!

yes, but none of them use your definitions, those are colloquial ones not used by any communist philosophers.

That’s not true at all
Socialism - any system of government where the workers own the means of production. This has nothing to do with welfare or healthcare or any of that, just that the working class owns the factories and other private property. (The marxist and original definition of private property is property that generates capital, not your toothbrush, which is personal property. Same with your home.)
communism - a post socialist system where the workers own the means of production, currency has been abolished, there are no class divisions or state (note the marxist concept of the state is probably not what you’re thinking if this is new to you.)

Itt: countless people who have never read a single work by a communist or socialist philosopher.

So close until you got to communism. Cite marx.
- Comment on What's the difference between socialism and communism? Is there one? Or are the terms interchangeable? 6 days ago:
That’s not true at all, socialism is just worker ownership of the means of production and not related to centrally planned economies. Lookup market socialism for a counterexample.

This is completely incorrect, cite any socialist or communist philosophers agreeing with you.

That’s a variety of socialism.

35% does not make worker ownership the principal aspect of the economy
- Comment on America continues to fall behind the rest of the world 1 week ago:
“The government controls around 35% of the total value of publicly listed companies on the Oslo stock exchange, with five of its largest seven listed firms partially owned by the state.[34]” good, but not socialism. Free healthcare and schools are not related to socialism.
- Comment on America continues to fall behind the rest of the world 1 week ago:
they don’t though, they regulate it and apply some pressure, but these are still privately held, socialism is always in contrast to private ownership.
- Comment on America continues to fall behind the rest of the world 1 week ago:
It being inspired by socialism doesn’t change the fact that the workers don’t own the means of production there and it is therefore not socialism. Them having more say because they have unions is not the same.
- Comment on America continues to fall behind the rest of the world 1 week ago:
It’s not actually though. you’re confusing nordic welfare states for socialism, there are even variants of socialism like market socialism with none of these.

That’s true but ultimately doesn’t matter, 30% of a country revolting is typically enough for a revolution. Even if they try this, which, there isn’t much incentive for them because they can have whatever they want, people will rapidly revolt.

Agi? Yes. Nothing economically makes sense in a post-agi world. Who would pay anyone for anything in such a world? it is a post-scarcity economy, nobody can do anything of economic value because the ai can do it better in every way, then everyone gets resources rationed to them and they can live their life however they wish.

You would no longer need one?

This is a problem for all politicians not exclusively communist ones.
- Comment on Communism 4 weeks ago:
The question is irrelevant, we should get as close as possible, and certainly enslaving people is no way to get there.

Is there a reason one should care? The only engines I know are of any interest are UE and godot
- Comment on Communism 4 weeks ago:
They do not care about implementing communism genuinely, it’s a propaganda tactic, you are aware politicians lie, right? This is akin to saying “the party of building an egalitarian utopia!” And then immediately enslaving half the population. You would have to be an incredible fool to take their word for it and not look at their actions. To think that you think this is an anticommunist gotcha and not a clear case of lying to the public is embarrassing on your part.

Literally the opposite of the definition laid out by marx but I think you’re trying to be funny and failing
- Comment on Communism 4 weeks ago:
That’s literally the definition of communism. Where does enslaving people make sense? It contradicts with “classless” no?
- Comment on Communism 4 weeks ago:
A stateless, classless, currencyless society in which the workers own the means of production.
where does it fit?
