I don’t care what you call it, I want that. Call it doodoo pickle butting, if it offers that, sign me up for everyone else too.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 points 25 minutes ago

Thats the thing, im past the stupid naming and everything. I just want policies that help people and not billionaires. Call it marxism, stalinism, whatever the fuck you want.

You are a special kind of stupid (and brainwashed) if you think any of those things listed are bad

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 minutes ago

And also completely unrelated to Communism.

I find it fascinating how nowadays, basic human decency is called "woke" and "communism".

[–] don@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 hour ago

It’s the primary symptom of being infected with the broke mind virus, which effectively all republicans suffer.

[–] jaennaet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 27 minutes ago

There's plenty of studies showing that conservatism, sadism, and psychopathy correlate.

Should bring actual communism back toexplain the difference.

I think this is why we'll never have a UBI/leisure society/Star Trek style utopia. We are miserable biological apes and revel in other's misery.

We [...] revel in other’s misery.

Well, i don't.

Fantastic. I'm hungry, when can I come over?

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 minutes ago

If you're actually hungry I can help you find food.

Fuck that; this aggressively horrible crab bucketing is cultivated. Pretending decades of capitalist propaganda every god damn second of your waking life while you live in a fantasy wirld based on nonsense abstractions is 'just a staye of nature' is insane.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

And yet, railing against observed reality is ...???

Its where we are, and whay has been done, it is tge past we must reckon with, but it is not the default for humanity, and it was wrought by human hands.

If it can be made by us, it can be unmade by us.

[–] Kellenved@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Amen brother. Anyone who says “that’s just the way it is” is giving up. That’s not the way it is, that’s the way it was MADE. By powerful evil people, and we can remake it.

Welfare is not equal to handing over the means of production to the working class. So what mamdani is doing is not socialist.

[–] appropriateghost@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

hold on i thought communism is when government does stuff and the more stuff it does the more communism it is.

on the other hand these are reforms that marxists and communists should definitely support even if this is just basic social democracy.

[–] MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 hour ago

You're right, is Social Democracy. But that's where we are, politically these days. The largest socialist organization in then U.S. (the DSA) is ostensibly not socialist in policy. Anything slightly left of RAGING corporate handouts and bombing brown people is COMMUNISM now.

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 6 hours ago

That still sounds extraordinarily capitalist to me. By calling it Communism, they're diluting the massive policy failure of actual Marxism, which is more akin to "let's all take up arms and pillage every home, rich or poor".

This is more like "let's all kill the dragon who ate our children and stole our gold".
