Cool story. Now figure out how to stop them other than ‘vote’. Cause we know that’s just kicking the can down the road.
We had 8 good years before that and didn’t set up any protections.
And I intend to continue.
I don’t know what I clicked on that. It was exactly what it says.
99%? Are you sure?
That’s interesting… Communism is by definition stateless and without significant hierarchy. I don’t think other Tankies would disagree with me there.
The ideological difference is in how we achieve communism. I would really suggest reading ‘What is to be Done’ by Lenin. It’s a real short read but was one of the things that sold me on Marxism-Leninism vs. regular “Communism is a neat idea”
Capitalism will sell you the “you’re your own boss, go forth an conquer” all while keeping you under their heel. There is no equality or opportunity there; but even worse is that they will worm their way into any system that does not harshly and consistently fight back against them. Ergo the need for a ‘communist’ (or rather pursuing communism) state.
That then leads into “Well how does the state go away once we’ve got communism?” That’s a whole 'nother can of worms…
That’s not even where the term originates. Come on, if you’re going to use the term at least do the 10 second Google search.
100 percent agreed. They’ll group anything too far left of them under the same name. Don’t care anymore. If they want to whine then fuck it, I’ll wear the term.
The .world libs just couldn’t help themselves but ruin our circlejerk.
Sure fuck it. I’ll Tankie. Castro is a hero. Western news knows nothing of glorious DPRK Juche, and comrade Stalin did nothing wrong.
Yes.
The cruelty is the point.
The nice thing about Lemmy is that I can say “I hope he dies” and won’t get banned.
Fuck ‘Bibi’, Fuck Israel.
I mean most of the Nazi middle leadership just became NATO/Western Germany leadership. But they said they’re sorry so it was OK.
Every non violent success story has someone behind the non violent one ready to burn shit down that makes the non violent one the easier choice.
