Wait till you see public companies
publicly trade companies? the ones purely focused on profit? yup, hate 'em
Yeah I was gonna say. Not nearly as bad as public companies. I'd take private companies any fucking day of the week over those soulless bastards.
Muffin encryption here to save us from the corpos! They can't hurt us if they can't access their muffins! And are getting attacked by an army of trans sharks!
Okay, I'll stop playing with your name and instance name now! skitters away goofily
Edit: People are downvoting me because they are bad people and like to watch babies cry or something like that. That is 100% the factual reason they are doing this.

Or worse, communism.
or worse, communism
I would have thought most people who hate private companies would be pretty keen for communism
The difference being reality and utopian fantasy.
It's like people who say equality is best today despite the very real and present need for equity.
They're very real and perfectly fine concepts on paper. But it's a massive difference between how it translates to reality on paper and how it actually manifests when filtered through the human condition.
Kinda like Libertarianism. Trickle down economics. Live and let live. Personal freedoms. Communism.
Turns out reality isn't so easily fit in such neat little boxes to cover the gamut of how every human acts and reacts.
I don’t get why so many people on Lemmy are straight-up communists. I’m left-leaning myself, but actual communism has always ended in a totalitarian dictatorship. Literally 1984
there are no examples of "actual" communism.
so you don't know what you are talking about.
and this is is not some no true Scots an argument, if you look at how they worked the proletariat didn't control the means of production, what happened was that the state took control so it was more like state capitalism, much like China is now.
The wealth transfer didn't happen from the burgois/capitalists to the workers but to the ruling party,that's how you got wealthy in those states you became a party man.
in short those countries were about as communist as Nazis were socialist
Lemmy was founded by a Communist, and Communism in theory is focused on creating a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society via Worker ownership of the means of production. It's fairly easy to see why Lemmy, a platform built on decentralization and a rejection of the profit motive, appeals to leftists like Communists.
Additionally, most Communists practice Materialism, and analyze historical events and structures on the basis of their material conditions. Rather than believing tools have mystical properties that corrupt the minds of those that collectively own them, they look at why historical examples of Socialism have turned out the way they did, and seek to learn from them.
Nobody in any serious number seriously wants a dictatorship with an absolute state.
There’s no arguing about communism on Lemmy. I already know what that other reply says and I only read half of the first sentence.
