Communism
(lemmy.ml)
He asked for it.
It's because he kept dressing in red.
anticapitalist views of society in general are eldritch brain horrors that peel back the veil of reality and reveal the utter putrescence of capitalist society in such a way that its horrors are forever unseeable and, for some, almost unbearable, as every single moment which passes bears witness to uncountable instances of preventable suffering through not just exploitation but incredibly callous disregard for the value of human lives, and for communists it's that x10

Oh hey this is how i inform people about juche
How'd you get a picture of me? ๐ง
This is basically me. I'm pretty quiet when socialising because I know if I start talking I'll very soon start trying to set the world to rights.
Food and beer are probably the only safe topics for me.
Food is not even a safe topic for me since I am vegan. There are no safe topics for me ๐
If I drink hard liquor, the non stop beating of the electoral reform drum is replaced with me raging about the bipartisan war on drugs/police state.
I still drink hard liquor now and then, just in my basement alone. Unfortunately I still can post here about it: https://lemmy.ml/post/19710976/13341382
He's just like me fr
the mouth really makes it
Fun Fact: Communism is actually an attainable goal within our lifetimes, but people would actually have to be open to confronting their biases against it (including hate for all its supporters)
Actually disagree, at least not higher-stage Communism. Higher stage communism requires pretty much all living generations on Earth to have never known Capitalism, and be so used to living within Socialism that the statist apparatus makes itself redundant and whithers away. This becomes self-perpetuating and stable.
Lower stage communism? Absolutely.
It isn't simply a matter of "confronting internal biases," just like you would not place a random modern worker into feudalism and expect them to be capable of tending the fields, producing for subsistence plus surplus to their local feudal lord, and producing all manner of household goods such as clothing, fences, and food, so too can you not thrust the modern proletariat into a higher stage of production without working through the transitional status of Socialism.
If there are communists who think communism can be attained in our lifetimes, I donโt know them. Weโre not going to sell people a fantasy, some overnight utopia. Some places are now socialist, and more may become so in our lifetimes. But, as socialist states themselves will tell you, communism has not yet been attained anywhere.

This is my comic! It was made for me!
Has anyone in the communism community ever actually lived under a communist regime? I have and that shit was not good. No matter how nice communism sounds on paper it depends on humans sharing and not being selfish and power hungry, which is a fantasy. Even in a communist society, you'll have those who will get more than others and will be more "equal"
it depends on humans sharing and not being selfish and power hungry, which is a fantasy.
What about Communism depends on this, structurally? How, in any way, does Capitalism do better?
Even in a communist society, you'll have those who will get more than others and will be more "equal"
Where does Marx say that Communism is about equality?
It's funny because I'm pretty sure you haven't lived in a communist country either. So you're arguing that lack of personal experience invalidates all arguments in favour of communism, but your lack of personal experience living in a communist country somehow doesn't invalidate your arguments against communism. Yup, perfectly consistent.

"The younger the eastern European, the more they suffered under communism"
A revolution from the top was always going to be bad. I think people in this forum are hoping for a revolution from the bottom.

If everything is shared while living a communist way of life, that would include political power. This makes communism a direct democracy.
Does that sound like the country you're thinking of?
