Aye I wish belived that capitalism created a fair society. Seems more comfy.
In my experience, the point of leftism is to bring more power to the average citizen. What about that do you disagree with?
The meme doesn’t say “leftism”.
Communism =/= leftism. It’s an extreme form of socialism.
My biggest problem isn’t even the communist ideals. Have your ideas, that’s fine. I don’t care.
My problem is the amount of people coming into post comments attacking American Imperialism® on posts that aren’t even related to communist ideals or, sometimes, that don’t even mention America. It gets tiring reading how much America sucks when that’s not even the point of the post.
Not op, but I’d guess it’s probably the part where you start murdering people and removing their basic freedoms.
That’s also around the time someone walks up with a Fascism stencil and sprays it over your communism label.
Communists? Nah, not a problem. I mean I’m a Star Trek fan, and while it’s not played up that much the Federation is a post-scarcity socialist-adjacent society. I’m all for everyone having their basic needs met without condition or obligation, and money being obsolete.
Tankies though can fuck right off. North Korea is not a bastion of democracy. China is not more free than the US. This is not difficult to see.
I don’t think anyone has a problem with post scarcity utopian idealism, we just aren’t at the post scarcity part yet
Star Trek is fully automatic gay space communism.
It’s not socialist adjacent.
Counterpoint: Riker.
Look, I know the Federation doesn’t have money, but they probably brought it back just to charge Riker for all the extra cleanup required every time he visited the holodeck.
I don’t mind seeing communist content, it’s better than the shit that I was seeing on Reddit’s front page before I left it. At least communists aren’t spewing hatred against people based on their skin colour, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other things that people can’t control.
Although the centrists and leftists still hate each other, Lemmy is just a nicer place in general due to the lack of far-right horse shit.
Lemmy is great because of the commies
Socies are cool but tankies are absolutely not
*tankies
stfu liberal
Excellent rebuttal! Thank you for adhering to the communist ways and letting libs live for free in your head.
I needed a rebuttal for this? I thought just writing something is enough. I have more important things to do in life. I can’t write against all liberal bullshit, I wouldn’t get happy anymore.
this is how I feel about the liberals to be honest, but that’s the beauty of lemmy: we can have our instance to talk about communism, and you can have your instance to talk about how much you hate communism.
Lol. 90% of hexbear posts are about liberals.
Libs live rent free in your heads, don’t lie to us 😏
“I know we’re the dominant group in everyday society, and most regular people agree with us, which means most people you must interact with on the daily are probably liberal, but we live rent free in your head you see, and it totally doesn’t have anything to do with us shoving our bullshit down your throats every day in your daily life. It’s because you’re pathetic!”
Sure, Jan. Sure.
At least it’s not Nazis, although tankies are every bit as bad.
I like commie porn tho
I hear more complaining about commies/tankies than I actually see posts from them
You ought to consider yourself lucky.
I dont have a problem with commies bc they are people that want good but we just disagree on how it should be achieved. Tankies on the other hand are basically nazis but they support stalin and not hitler.
i hate tankies with a burning passion
You might want to move instances. .ml is federated with hexbear, which has a lot of really annoying authoritarian communists. (Tankies) .world and many others are defederated with them, so you could block the subs and users, or move to a different instance.
Oh shit, that’s based as fuck
