An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

Reducing homelessness by making it illegal isn't such a great advert for Soviets

Big difference between tossing someone in prison for being homeless vs. a home/job program

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes, and the Soviets had the former

Uh, no? At least not in Hungary.

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hungary was never part of Soviet Union. And if you want to bring that up, remember where the term "tankie" originally comes from while you're at it.

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ah sure. Let's fight about whether or not Hungary was formally a member or not, when the entire point is: was the country under the (in)direct control of Moscow or not?

The answer is: yes it fucking was, dipshit.

Real mature and good faith argument you've got there. Maybe you should go back to lemmygrad where that shit actually works because you can ban everyone who disagrees.

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 1 points 4 days ago

Never been to that instance, and I don't ban people who have a factually incorrect opinion, even if they're being an ass about semantics.

Also not a tankie, nowhere did I defend the Soviet Union.

No, but reducing homelessness by having rents around 6% of people's income is.

[–] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean, its what our governments in north america are doing instead of solving the problem.

The liberals here in Canada feel that housing is a commodity, not a right.

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 5 points 5 days ago

And it's equally fucked up, yes.
