He did that with the explicit goal of undermining his socialist opponents (so people wouildn't have a reason to support them)
In regards to your second point, lol no. That would be communism. I'm glad that you think left wing policies are common sense though? Most of us heavily agree which is why seeing the proliferation of conservatism is disheartening.
I mean, I like my Marxist content to be good and not filth. Maybe that's what he meant.
imo when the devs get tired of .ml being the second cousin and not the biggest or most well-liked instance, they'll change their website to not surface by size and popularity so much.
If any admins of lemmy.world are around, I created [email protected] for the explicit reason of sharing copyright protected music. Can you ban it too? Wouldn't want to get you guys in trouble with mommy and daddy.
The definition of the word liberal in the dictionary is being open to new ideas and beliefs.
I mean, you're looking at it when you're browsing the internet all day. You're going to be rubbing yourself off with that hand a long time.
Why do you think you're being attacked? Getting used to it huh? Also did you forget to switch accounts?
Just because a party calls themselves that and then does some shit, doesn't change the definition of a word
You're just mad because yours doesn't get hard
Bush wasn't evil, he was an idiot. Dude is a nice guy. Dick Cheney on the other hand...
Man, this is what I missed about old school forums. Having real fucking non-sanitized conversations. Fuck reddit.
Bruh. That statement by Marx is an ideal, a metaphor for revolution. No country's populace has ever controlled the means of production. In fact if you want to take that literally, capitalist societies have for more control over industry than socialist ones do. Modern communism is generally seen as where the government controls the distribution of property. In this sense not even Russia is communist anymore.
And I wouldn't conflate them because most socialists would be pretty offended to be identified as communist. The average socialist likes Denmark and Sweden. Not Cuba or something.
