Maybe if people with your ideology only make things that harm you it’s an opportunity to reflect.
People really don’t care about communists - it’s the authoritarian boot licker we have a problem with.
The Americans?
Some people seem to care quite a bit.
I don’t think any of them are anymore communist then the CCP tbh.
They’re just making free software with no algorithmic feeds, inherent bias, user monetisation, or dark patterns for everyone for other reasons.
So the head lemmy devs are communists? ?_?
Go chat to Dessalines or Nutomic about it and see what they have to say about their views.
I tried once, but they banned me for five billion years because they’re tankies.
I’ve exchanged 5 sentences with you and I’ve gotta say I’m sympathetic to them already.
They are based ⚒️⚒️⚒️
Hah! I did not know that was an emoji, haha!
I only recently found it, and it’s quickly entered my emoji vernacular
No see, you don’t understand.
The ‘free market place of ideas’ needs an ‘invisible hand’ to make sure it doesn’t make any uh… mistakes.
And obviously, my particular and specific ideas about how to puppet that hand, well they are objectively correct.
/s
Or at least they WERE but you assholes are UNWORTHY of being SAVED so never mind!
/s
Is it at least of the luxurious gay space kind?
Unfortunately we’re at the screaming at each other over precisely how to realise a stateless, monieless, classless society stage.
Although we do get to enjoy devouring the occasional lib that stumbles in.

Mmmm… Lib vore…
We need to bring back feeling ashamed
Uh-oh. Somebody’s got a shaming kink…
Whoa there are one here? does that matter? in this era the letter c are kinda better than f or t, if you think about it.
I remember on reddit seeing discussion about the mullvad vpn nonsense and someone replied that they were based, it’s not like the left would ever care about privacy.
And I was just like…brutha, wut? People are truly that dumb aren’t they?
The left is anything they do not like
Food for thought indeed.
Some of these comments are far too long.
it’s the american way. lol
“If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him.”
Ninth-century Chinese Buddhist monk Linji Yixuan.
That’s the only Buddhist thing burgers know. Was it on the idiotbox or something?
The what? I read it in a book.
I somehow don’t believe you’re as old as you claim lmfao.
How old have I apparently claimed to be?
On pair with the literacy expected from the average marxist.
You can read this as insulting everyone
Bakhunin was a marxist too, one of the best.
On pair with the literacy expected from the average marxist.
Don’t know if you’re joking, and I usually wouldn’t do this, but it’s on (a) par with (not pair) and AFAIK Marxist is usually capitalised.
I don’t know if it’s technically a mistake, but I would also have used expected of (not from).
English isn’t my first language, so caveat lector.
gotcha, that’s kinda dialectical even. And useful. I won’t ever get the western abhorrence at getting instructed by someone or at showing minor imperfections.
Well, they are written by communists what can you expect.
Too many people have an inversion to leftism.
Been on here for under a year,
Basically if you want to own a house and a car and if you belive being successful is a good thing than you are a toxic individual. If you still believe in the American dream of owning luxuries and being able to afford groceries, you’re a piece of shit and if you have goals in life, that go against the hive mind you’re a piece of shit.
But yeah, we’re all free thinking individuals with our own opinions except you’re wrong and a absolute piece of fucking shit when you have the opposing view…
Welcome to Lemmy.
Basically if you want to own a house and a car and if you belive being successful is a good thing than you are a toxic individual. If you still believe in the American dream of owning luxuries
if you think success is measured in dollars, you drank the kool-aid your owners served you and I’m very very sorry.
I pity you, truly.
Bro wtf.
Commies literally want people to have food and housing.
You’re probably called toxic because of the high flux of Hitler particles you’re emitting.
I’m not against communism but I’m not against having goals. My goal in life is to own property, a vehicle and to be able to afford groceries… maybe some luxuries like a couch, a sound system, a decent computer desk. Redoing certain parts of the property.
I’m not aiming to live in a mansion, I aim to own a two floor home, enough room for a dog to run around and a garden.
I’m not for being a gluten with success and holding billions and having society be in a constant state of survival mode. I’m not for a housing crisis, I’m not for environmental destruction or against public transportation.
I guess I just still hold on to what I was raised to believe: you can earn if you work hard and apply yourself. Unfortunately, on my end that means choosing a new career path that will earn me a solid income.
GL big fella. I hope you never experience serious illness/abusive workplaces/exploitation by the rich/legal quagmire/natural disaster or any of the other myriad things that can have you on the street and destitute in a few months.
I really do mean that.
No matter how far you go you’ll always be thousands of times closer to homelessness than our lords and masters we all prostitute ourselves for.
Okey and so ? Great do that. Have a good life.
What is this shitty liberal doing here? Your dreams cost the death of millions, egoistic “human” being.
I agree with everything here except the dehumanization.
we’re all human and that’s exactly why their position is so abhorrent.
Communitarianism is an essential part of the human make-up, when some individual is too apart from the flock can’t we say they’re on the path of a subspecies?
… What in the fuck? No.
Ok, then.
It’s a little refreshing to see a communist Mr. Gotcha for once.
?
The less polite ones don’t even ask you first!
Cuba believers stay winning.
Didn’t Castro culturally genocide the capitalists?
Unfortunately a lot of them escaped to the usa, explaining considerably many about Florida.
The only moral political purge is my political purge.
I do like that the meme kinda works that way too - with the infighting between (ml) socialists, communists, anarchists and democratic socialists.
But a political and economic purge is objectively absolutely necessary, although it does not have to be some bloody brutal affair. Like putting half of the supreme court on trial and purging them, or nationalizing fossil fuel or social media. Someone, really anyone rational who is not a fascist, neoliberal or sociopath needs to gain power and then has to be willing to wield that power forcefully and “authoritatively” because of the immense current power and wealth inequality. The power has to go back to a democratic government.
So both “purge” and “authoritarian” is constantly used as scary thought terminating cliche and needs to be rehabilitated. And “cultural genocide” is of course often thrown in as a bonus. That’s a divide and conquer strategy of the empire. Just look at how CNN treats Angie Nixon.
Hey now not all of us are communists, some of us are deranged Rednecks who throw out the term Jeffersonian socialist to annoy and confuse people.
A lot of ya’ll have a lot to say about the surprised Pikachu meme.
People really do come into comments sections instead of going to their doctor about their high blood pressure.
Low blood pressure* we’re self medicating.
I wish lemmy had a silence replies feature.
