Don’t forget depression, anxiety and thought crime caused by social media addiction
All communist social-media addicts are always hsppy for the rest of their lives, of course! The addiction can’t be the issue, it has to be capitalism!
Hey, I became a lot more hopeful for the future after reading Marx. Capitalism does indeed suck, but it’s unsustainable.
The problem Marx didn’t foresee is that capitalism can sustain itself until it destroys us all. In Nazi Germany, this left the country a bombed out pile of rubble. In modern times, it’s global warming.
Marx definitely foresaw that possibility, his conclusions are more that if there aren’t grand wars or famines eliminating everyone, Capitalism itself cannot last forever, which is far more comforting than assuming socialism can vibe itself into existence.
Lemmy is made by actual communists, so let’s not pretend communism would somehow fix that.

Well, if you ask any communist, they’ll tell you that real communism has never been tried, which implies that all other communists are fake.

The US has the largest government in the history of the world, it is not remotely pure capitalist.
It’s absolutely Capitalist and additonally Imperialist. Having a government doesn’t mean it isn’t Capitalist, especially if the bourgeoisie controls the state, rather than the proletariat.
Who do you think the US government works for?
Many of them work for the rich, some of them have integrity, but most are just in it for their own power and benefit.
Power and benefit, also sometimes referred to with the term “capital”
Not really, its more control of people. The ability to feel power over a domain.
Which is a form of capital. Our politicians use that power for monetary profit. That shits just intrinsic to building an entire system with capitalism at it’s heart like we been doing since the late 60s
You are shoehorning the word capitalism in there.
Well as long as we’ll have guns then things can be turned around…
It can be done with guns or it can be done without. Can is the magic word here, and guns are optional.
You’re gonna need a nuke, big guy. You aren’t taking on the American military with your lil pea shooter.

Fuckin’ A right.
So “Capitalism” ( by which you mean crony Corps in league with government - a socialist system) took away socialist ‘benefits’ - huh. Are you sure you are looking at the right end if the stick?
Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?
Som… the american dream.
I dont think the FED + state which printed 70% of USD money supplies during covid years has anything to do with capitalism and free market… They are anti free market and capitalism if anything…
It’s simple, a State in Capitalist society serves the interests of the Bourgeoisie and defends Capitalism.
Capitalism naturally destroys free markets.
People miss that Adam Smith in his writing was arguing in favor of small enterprise and in favor of the government busting up monopolies
Yep, then Ricardo and later Marx built up on his theory.
Looks Pension and savings look like they’re all there. Looks Still employed. Looks Still have free health care. Looks Still seem to be churning out graduates with pace. Looks No debt.
🤷♂️
Where’s do you live that you have a pension and free healthcare?
The golden palace in their mind.
You don’t have free healthcare, unless you don’t live in America. And if that’s the case, your comment means nothing.
And if that’s the case, your comment means nothing.
That’s not very socialist of you.
your comment means nothing.
WTF?!
Skinny tails on bell curves always exist.
in USA*
In most places under the American empire’s control to varying degrees.*
so only usa?, look at europe, even in brazil we have so much shit but nothing like that, and we are usa garden
At least if you lived in a socialist place before that naturally left you so helpless that you now wish for the heavy restrictions to be back because you rely on them.
“At least the walls of the prison kept me warm”…
What?
