The spectre of communism is haunting the Fediverse

  • Why would we like a book written by a nazi collaborator?

    Zohran Mamdani calls the president of Cuba and Venezuela “dictators who have stifled free and fair elections, jaled political opponents, and suppressed the free and fair press”

  • Can you please define communism for me?

  • Dude, take the capitalist boot off your neck

  • Let's end capitalism!! Let's go socialism!!!

  • Enshittification is a feature of capitalism, not a bug.

  • Still ignorant and bad faith arguments that lacks any historical nuance

    The Holodomor happened years before the second world war started

    The USSR was being under constant invasions by the world powers that didn’t want to allow a socialist state to exist. Add to that, that the kulaks sabotaged their own crops to make people revolt and overthrow the socialist government.

    The Great Leap Forward was over a decade after it had ended.

    China was a poor agrarian country which infrastructure was destroyed by Japan. It constantly had famines that killed people even before that. Mao just couldn’t fix the issues that caused famine fast enough for another one not to repeat.

    Literally millions of people starve in Africa due to not having enough money to eat, and due to the privatization of food and fields. That is capitalism. It is insane that you would say otherwise. And even in America lots of people are food insecure. And a capitalist nation Israel has killed like 100k people and a capitalist nation Germany killed 50 Million people.

    Colonization is part of capitalism. Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism and so is fascism

    Begone capitalist bootlicker

  • This is such a bad faith and ignorant argument.

    There were literally famines before Stalin and Mao. And both places were being invaded by other countries, and had their own farmers sabotage the crops to make people raise up against the government. Also, once that was taken care of, nobody ever died of a famine even under Stalin or Mao and let alone after them.

    Lets talk about how Britain purposefully created a famine that killed millions of Irish and Indians, shall we? And how European powers take away food security from Africa, and millions starve to death every year under capitalism.

  • No, it doesn’t … You have a central authority that makes sure that doesn’t happen or the community makes sure that doesn’t happen like how hippies grow their own food

  • Because community gardens always get destroyed ...

  • Marxism is anti-utopian, it's based on analyzing how societies evolve over time. What is deemed "authoritarianism" is the need for the proletariat to exert its control over the bourgeoisie, rather than the reverse, yet bourgeois rule is more authoritarian.

  • You mean co-op?

  • Are you familiar with Mos-cow?

  • The Democrats are a right wing party

  • There is only free speech when it agrees with the capitalist elite or it doesn't directly threaten them
