Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This whole idea of class struggle being the only struggle is so oversimplified it’s kinda silly.

There's nothing wrong with a simplified model if it gets you the results you're looking for. And for the vast majority of the working class thinking in simplistic terms such as capitalist vs. worker would improve their lives tremendously.

The more complex models might be useful for explaining how things change and evolve. But mainly complexity is introduced by capitalists (or capitalist simps) to sow discord among workers and keep us from organizing effectively.

Why are all the marxists coming out of the wood work? Y'all can't run a society for shit. Why are you still here and existing?

China was one of your experiments that went wrong. Go and build a working model for a socialist or communist society and I might listen. Until then you have nothing to add. Anarchists had better luck than you guys and you killed them for it.

I mean, call me whatever you want. It's irrelevant. Do you need my vote or not? If you don't then ignore me. If you do then pay attention.

[–] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

So are you a marxist or something else?

[–] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Which country do you live in? I live in the UK so unless you are here it's mostly irrelevant what you vote for.

You asked the question bud. Not my fault you don't like the answer.

[–] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So I will take it you don't live here and I don't need your vote.

[–] go_go_gadget@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you only want UKers answering your question then say so in the first place.

You're the one who asked if I needed your vote lmao. I don't. You're just annoyed you don't have any leverage over me.
