  • Does the fact that I don’t support capitalism either make any damn bit of difference to you people or do I have to blindly support socialism to fit in.

    How do you even support a system of governance that doesn’t work! Or do you think that anything a government does to help its people is “socialism”.

    I don’t know what to do with any of you anymore.

    I ask you make one successful socialist country. I ask what socialist country would you want to live in. I ask why haven’t you moved there yet! No one ever answers because these are the country’s you have to choose from:

    People’s Republic of China Republic of Cuba Lao People’s Democratic Republic Socialist Republic of Vietnam Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Union of Soviet Socialist Republics German Democratic Republic People’s Republic of Poland Czechoslovak Socialist Republic Hungarian People’s Republic Socialist Republic of Romania People’s Republic of Bulgaria People’s Socialist Republic of Albania Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Mongolian People’s Republic People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen Democratic Republic of Afghanistan People’s Republic of Kampuchea People’s Republic of Angola People’s Republic of Mozambique People’s Democratic Republic of Ethiopia People’s Republic of the Congo People’s Republic of Benin Somali Democratic Republic People’s Revolutionary Government of Grenada Republic of Nicaragua (Sandinista period)

    Pick one go on. Pick any one of these.








  • Socialism and communism always sound nice in theory, but in practice they’ve been disasters everywhere they’ve been tried. Full-blown socialist or communist states end up collapsing into corruption, shortages, or authoritarianism, it’s a pattern, not an accident.

    Now, that doesn’t mean America’s corporatocracy is working. Far from it, corporate greed, sky-high healthcare costs, and predatory loans are strangling people. But swapping one broken system for another that’s already failed time and time again isn’t the answer.

    And let’s be honest, when people say “socialism” here, what they usually mean is social democracy, like in Scandinavia. That’s not communism, it’s just capitalism with tighter guardrails. Big difference.

    So if someone really wants the pure socialism/communism model, there are countries still running it. Nobody’s stopping them from moving there and living the reality instead of just dreaming about the theory.

    Ok you’ve clearly lost the plot.

    Let’s try again. You use the internet right? Well, the internet is used for crimes, it makes people dumber, ever watch any flat earth videos? You should boycott the internet so you’re not part of it that way you can remain morally in the clear.

    And you not liking commercial llms vs. Machine learning for scientific application only makes you a hypocrite.

    It’s a tool being used by humans.

    It’s not making anyone dumber or smarter.

    I’m so tired of this anti ai bullshit.

    Ai was used in the development of the COVID vaccine. It was crucial in its creation.

    But just for a second let’s use guns as an example instead of ai. Guns kill people. Lemmy is anti gun, mostly. Yet Lemmy is pro Ukraine, mostly, and y’all supports the Ukrainians using guns to defend themselves.

    Or cars, generally cars suck yet we use them as transport.

    These are just tools they’re as good and as bad as the people using them.

    So yes, it is just you and a select few smooth brains that can’t see past their own bias.

    Your comment to me was nonsensical eluding to some kind of epiphany that I just can’t get to because of my own ignorance I guess.

    It’s funny that you say that nobody will engage in discussion with me when you yourself can’t even make a statement that makes sense to discuss in the first place.

    You realize that people still work for pay in a socialist society correct? Difference being is that the means of production is owned by the state rather than the individual.

    Socialism isn’t giving charity to people it’s ensuring equality amongst the general population.

    How is it that so many people don’t know what the basics of socialism is and yet they defended it with their dying breath like it’s the salvation of our society.

    There hasn’t been a single socialist country that has been successful in the history of human kind.
