So, I haven't been on Lemmy for very long, but one thing seems to be true here, just like on Reddit: People don't understand nuance and are only drawn to extremes. There's sooo much going on between facism and unchecked capitalism and communism, but so many people here are just willfully ignoring that, apparently 🙄
-
Lemmy was made by Marxists, and the FOSS community itself has lots of Marxists and Anarchists.
It isn't that people here are willfully ignoring nuance, people have legitimate views that are considered extreme outside Lemmy, because Lemmy's structure brings them here instead of Reddit.
-
yes, lengthy, nuanced, disputations, are just what the four panel comics, on the meme forum, needs.
-
or maybe you don't have some especially well considered, enlightened perspective, and people here believe the things they do for reasons that align with their life experience and education, just as with yourself. taking a centrist stance is not some objectively superior position from which to view politics. you aren't endowed with special insight for choosing the midpoint between ideologies that contradict each other.

If it was only that simple

It isn't, which is why much theory and practice has occured since the inception of these ideas, and grown over time.

Problem as always with these Wishes. You didn't really clarify what we will have instead of capitalism. Now he changed the world to some entire new system that no one ever thought of before that is even worse. :o You need to state as much detail as possible when wishing
-
the real reason he didn't deduct the wish from your total is because that would make him a wish fund manager

Second wish is for a version of communism that actually works on a large scale.
Just have to love that you get downvoted for something so basic. "Nah, the current and past versions were fine!" Like what the fuck?
It's probably the same people who downvoted the meme. Effectively people who don't want ANY version of communism
Welcome to Lemmy.
The post has 23 upvotes. What are you on about?
Seems like the opposite is the case with a blatantly false statement getting massive upvotes from the radlibs of lemmy.
Shit, we have examples or socialized markets that run whole economies. We don't need to go far... Shit enforcing the current rules equally would change the world..
Yeah lets not look at the large scale capitalism that is definitely working for society
I think we have enough tech today to make it better
Yah, the pervasive surveillance should help immensely and totally not be used against the people.
That's an interesting take, wanna tell me more? (I'm sick right now and my brain cells don't function well enough to think for myself but that's unironically an interesting take)
If you're wishing anyway, you might as well go to the root of the problem and change human nature.
What does "Human Nature" have to do with organizational structures?
Why do people in the west have the need to keep pretending that communism doesn't work at scale when there's plenty of evidence that it does?
Because, it helps them justify living under an economic system which harms them and the world
That’s actually pretty easy once capitalist USA is abolished and thus no longer violently interfering with the internal affairs of socialist countries.
I am not so knowledgeable so forgive my ignorance, but why do most communist States have this knack for massive intelligence gathering on its own citizens? Are the concepts of personal privacy with freedom and working towards collective good so mutually exclusive?
Again this is not sarcastic, I genuinely wish to know.
PS I also hate capitalism from the core of my guts.
Yeah, right..
