It's great. Way better uptime than lemmy.world or lemmy.ml

I think you just say that it's not an appropriate picture for an avatar. You don't have to explain much further. Or "ask me when you're older"

Mostly because we hate calling them "roundabouts".

In some parts, we refuse to use the term. It's "rotary" or "traffic circle".

lemm.ee and lemmy.one have a bunch of good communities. The star trek communities are on their own instance.

So yes. There's a ton of important and good communities that aren't on the two biggest instances. I mean... This is the nature of federation

Thank you! I've been wondering when mod tools were going to come to an app.

True Scotsman is when you keep moving the goal posts. I just have one clearly stated goal post of a definition and have stuck with it.

What most in this thread are committing is the strawman fallacy. Setting up a bad definition for capitalism and then saying all capitalism is bad when there are virtually no proponents of capitalism as defined by people in this thread (or the video)

In that case, the only reason they wouldn't be able to find work is because of the anti-capitalist policies.

Capitalism to Socialism is an economic scale.

Fascism is a type of govenrment. Theoretically a benevolent fascism could possibly have a capitalism, but that would require the fascism to not interfere in the economy at all.

For America, we are a mix of capitalism and socialism. Compared to the rest of the world were more on the side of capitalism, but these days, I think Canada might be more capitalist than we are.

How fascist are we? Again that's a scale, but there are definitely some aspects of fascism that we exhibit. We also exhibit socialism in some ways too.

It was somewhat capitalist but with several issues that were anti-capitalism.

  1. Slavery of the kind that America engaged in is inherently anti-capitalist. Indentured servitude would be compatible though.

  2. There was a struggle of the Federal Government regulating gold and silver, central banking, etc. Eventually the Federal Government won full control over that in 1913.

Mostly just to see how it works.

Merriam Webster seems fine.

Fascism - a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

Any government interference with economics is anti-capitalism. So automatically, a large government is incompatible with capitalism.
