Actually its prob like only one or two laser lines you can casually step over.
But the are super sensitive & triggery.
6This is me and my dad so much.
Last year he was complaining about how the owner of the company he works for is retiring and giving the company to his son who doesn’t know anything about the business.
We talked about how the workers could all own a portion of the company and run it themselves.
He agreed that’s how it should work.
But socialism is bad… 🤦♂️
29Lol I have so many conversations like this. Someone was saying a bunch of people got laid off at their job during covid and they almost lost their house. I said something like "it's a shame that they didn't just temporarily decrease everyone's hours so you all still had work. I mean, the work was going to come back eventually".
And they of course agreed

For real, especially trying to get across Lenin's analysis of Imperialism, or the necessity of Revolution, both of which are far touchier subjects than "Marx good" on the Fediverse.
Marx has been blunted and made tame and by those who haven't read him.

You might say they have "Turned Marx Into A Common Liberal"

me describing democracy
Literally Communism
16Everyone wants free stuff, yet nobody wants to pay for it. Communism allows everyone to pretend to have free stuff by declaring those that actually make it less than human, and thus less than citizens. Someone always pays for the free stuff you enjoy

I know you've been banned (not unreasonably so) and can't respond, but if you truly believe what you wrote above, you owe it to yourself to find out how you've been lied to. Communism at its most fundamental core is about alleviating the exploitation done to "those that actually make it" (workers). Communism elevates everyone to personhood, as opposed to capitalism that only does so for the ownership class.
2I love when people describe a system better than capitalism when trying to make communism look bad.

All the "isms" and the "ocracys" are fine except for one small point... none of them work.
-12How can we know when we've only tried one? The name changes throughout the years but it's always been "those born powerful get to get more power while everyone else gets to suffer."

There’s just one razer and that’s to say the word “communism”
