I thought we were all trying to get away from politics.

First of all, why would you think that? Second of all, everything is political so that is literally impossible. And third of all, only centrists who want things to stay exactly as they are, because they feel they are are benefiting from the status quo, ever say such things.

It may have come from a hole in the ground. It may have come from the Pentagon. It may have come little green men from Mars. What are you smoking?

If Dessalines is receiving money from the Chinese or other fascist government to develop the Lemmy sourcecode

What kind of moldy McCarthyite garbage is this? If my Grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike.

That’s not how Russian oligarchs originally became oligarchs. They did it the same way it’s always done in neolocolonized countries: by being compradors to predatory foreign states and capitalists.

The west is legit afraid of Russia’s collapse because once again someone will have to bail Russia out

Yeah… that’s not what happened at all. What happened was the Western capitalist neocolonial plundering of the post-Soviet states through neoliberal shock therapy. And that’s why the US especially hates Putin: he kicked the plunderers out of Russia, interrupting their plundering.

Thanks, BASIC, for teaching me so much I had to later unlearn in order to not be a garbage programmer.

I don’t really think you’ve captured communism: Cuba isn’t.

Communism has never yet been achieved, as any communist government will tell you. Socialism is a transitionary step toward communism. You can’t go to bed in a capitalist state and magically wake up to a classless, stateless society.

China has been moving away from communism for decades.

If you think that then you have not been paying attention to what’s been happening in China for the last decade.

Russia rejected the Communists for the Bolsheviks

The Bolsheviks were the communists! Come on. Maybe pick up Wikipedia or an even better wiki on the topic: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_the_Soviet_Union

If you’ve never lived in a communist state you’re much more likely to favour communism. People who have (lived in communism) don’t.

First you choose to be a wage slave and then you hate your bosses?

I’m simply quoting lemmy.ml’s rule 1 in its entirety. I wrote “4” in error.
