      I gotta be honest and say that my eyes kinda glaze over once we’re past “who owns the means of production”. It’s so far off I am incapable of worrying about it. I just know that communism is working towards a classless, stateless and moneyless society and it’s a bit more complex than “when the government does stuff”

    I saw communism defined on reddit-logo today as “when one corporation owns everything and the people suffer under it” as opposed to now where a small few own everything and make us suffer.

    Did not engage.

        For whatever reason, the conversation didn’t center around the idea that corporations shouldn’t own everything. Steering it there was just going to get me nowhere. I have a head cold today, so if I wade back into that comments thread somehow, I’ll post a link.

          just sound them out for how many corporations owning everything is fine with them. is it 6 or maybe 7? because thats about right nowadays.

      I will never read. I’m not even reading this site, I’ve hooked it up to a TTS-machine that slavishly reads out all text on the page. It does not follow linebreaks, instead it breaks up the entire screen on horizontal lines and then reads out each letter individually. When every letter had been pronounced individually it scrolls down then continues until the thread has been emptied. I then gather each letter in my mind palace and parse their meaning. THus I avoid becoming a liberal by reading something silly

      As opposed to liberals, who do not blindly believe, instead they see capitalism ravaging the world and burning down nature and say “hell yeah brother”. A better world is possible, to believe that doesn’t make you blind.

          They’ve sorta stopped responding as soon as I ask for any sources/proof/backup for their claims. It’s like a magic spell that scares away libs, it’s really impressive. It’s happened 6 or so times so far.

    Capitalism is when you have treats.

    Socialism is when you have a treat.

    Communism is when Stalin eats your treat with his spoon.

      It’s entirely possible they were literally taught exactly that in a poli-sci class, or at least a highschool civics class. All of those are just basically just brainworm infestation programs.

    Under communism i will be the Minister of Toothbrushes. only those able bodied workers with more than 20 teeth will be allowed to have them. toothpaste will be distributed at the state general store in pea-sized packets twice daily before meals. the only drink allowed will be orange juice.
