Ugh, are all posts on this meme sub "Capitalism bad, Marx good. Uplemmies on the left"? We get it, capitalism is exploitative. Although, I am curious on how the communists on here envision a real communist government. Please share, I'm just curious.

Lemmy is for communist Linux users and anything more nuanced than that is immediately downvoted.

"Why is lemmy losing users?!"

Gee, I wonder why. It's almost like all content is identical and stale after the thirtieth time.

The 14-year old keyboard kommunists don't have any answers at all.

If Marx was alive today he'd likely admit that the theories of communism are fundamentally flawed and simply do not work. He made some valid points over a hundred years ago, but circumstances have changed far to dramatically for communism to have any success at all.

Socialism is building powerful steam though, which is promising. And it actually works.
