It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Inside of you there are three wolves. None of them have read Marx

Read Marx.

I will never read. I'm not even reading this site, I've hooked it up to a TTS-machine that slavishly reads out all text on the page. It does not follow linebreaks, instead it breaks up the entire screen on horizontal lines and then reads out each letter individually. When every letter had been pronounced individually it scrolls down then continues until the thread has been emptied. I then gather each letter in my mind palace and parse their meaning. Thus I avoid liberalism

I asked my mom and she's a highschool teacher and she says this still counts as reading

Capitalism is when you have treats.

Socialism is when you have a treat.

Communism is when Stalin eats your treat with his spoon.

When your political understanding doesn't extend past the "Two Cows" poster in middle school.

Capitalism is where everything is owned by an individual

porky-scared That's just not fair! Everything is split between 4 or 5 of us at least!

...

porky-happy For the time being

was gonna say that, bit of an unintentional admission when they say "an individual" as opposed to "individuals"

The politics understander has logged on. very-smart

I saw communism defined on reddit-logo today as "when one corporation owns everything and the people suffer under it" as opposed to now where a small few own everything and make us suffer.

Did not engage.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

just ask 'what if two corporations own everything'

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For whatever reason, the conversation didn't center around the idea that corporations shouldn't own everything. Steering it there was just going to get me nowhere. I have a head cold today, so if I wade back into that comments thread somehow, I'll post a link.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

just sound them out for how many corporations owning everything is fine with them. is it 6 or maybe 7? because thats about right nowadays.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

For real.

All you ever get when you expose their ignorance is "that's Russian talking points, sweaty" maybe-later-kiddo

The marxism understanders have arrived

be afraid, liberals

I am genuinely curious how they came to this conclusion.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well I did hide the full story, they were actually correcting another users idea of what capitalism, socialism and communism is

It's entirely possible they were literally taught exactly that in a poli-sci class, or at least a highschool civics class. All of those are just basically just brainworm infestation programs.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Imagine studying poli-sci. "Yes I have a master's in being propagandized"

Under communism i will be the Minister of Toothbrushes. only those able bodied workers with more than 20 teeth will be allowed to have them. toothpaste will be distributed at the state general store in pea-sized packets twice daily before meals. the only drink allowed will be orange juice.

And when the government does everything it's communism
