So the arbiter of what is socialist is you? Not the revolutionaries who have actually worked on socialist projects

[-] LittleLordLimerick@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, I can have an opinion on socialism without having been a socialist-revolutionary. That is correct. Spot on.

Sure you can have an opinion, but if its about something you know nothing about, and have not investigated then it is worthless. Not just to other people, but to yourself as well

I know you are, but what am I?

[-] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

no-choice I now have no choice but to abandon communism

What have you actually done to help socialism then?

Are you a union organiser? Are you in a union? Which one? What party are you in? What projects do you support? What are you actually doing as a socialist? Other than voting for a liberal party every few years I mean.

My partner is a teacher and is in a union. We are both active in organizing and supporting. There are no unions for the industry I work in, so I work with hers.

Then you should know better than this bullshit, because you would be working with several of us. There is definitely not a teaching union that is not filled with MLs, education in particular has the highest number of us.

if your political activism starts and ends with being in a union you are useless to any socialist project, you even elevate yourself above others because of your union membership; liberal complancy, please boss uwu be nice and give us a raise.

Well your political activism starts and ends with posting Lenin quotes in online discussion boards, so I don’t know that you are in any position to be calling other people useless.

I am a union member too, I just also go out and organize on top of that; right now im trying to arrange a rent strike in my local community, I feed the homeless at soup kitchens and I attend every single march and protest for allinged interests that im able too.

Wait till you learn that there are right wing unions, and that union membership should be evaluated on a case by case basis;

Nah, I fully know you as a person, including everything you've ever done and everything you ever will do, from just a couple of internet comments, and I judge you useless. So give up. Stop being a socialist. I, an internet stranger, know you are not contributing anything of value, so why bother?

As opposed to you/hexbear being sole arbiters?

[-] ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

person above wasnt claiming to be the sole arbiters, dumb comment

il take the largest communist projects in the world, the word of millions + people who study marxism and practice it in reality everyday over a liberal who would struggle to define the word 'socialism' and whos political education starts and ends with there high school history class + 10 years spent on /r/politics
