That moment when you choose not to rebut that dumb argument

Lichess is not on the fedi

Stupid idealist, religious crap

YSK that there are guns in every country

That’s just Hungarian

Great to see Lenin’s analyses being applied more often. His concept of imperialism is the single greatest contribution to capitalist analysis after Marx.

Yet they even specifically blocked their users from visiting this comm. If that isn’t peak echo chamber behaviour then i don’t know what is😂

Are these supposed “Marxists” really defending a theocracy?

Cowbee uses numerous fallacies, biased sources and politician rhetoric by deliberately avoiding strong points and resorting to Mott and Baileys when backed into a corner. He ends up winning the ‘rhetoric’ war rather than the factual one because that’s really all he can afford

Wait a minute… We’re moving?

Ho ho ho. This seems like fun! Wondering if the mod(s) can pin this so we can update daily on our progress.

Also, you should’ve added one for Venezuela idolisation. “Maduro did nothing wrong!” and Kremlin simps—although that is essentially free

Well they kinda have a point, brachiosaurus made a claim and porcoesphino asked for some evidence to back up that claim, but they responded with a vague, ‘go look at Reddit and see for yourself’, which isn’t really statistically relevant when you make a claim such as, “most media state-owned”.

Edit: Grammar

Chopping it up with the guys that don’t fail to shoot them in their backs during the revolution? You can’t make this stuff up😂

I want this mug

The fable is wild work

This isn’t entirely accurate. What you described is a ‘socialist’ community, the so-called ‘lower stage of communism’. In this stage, there would still remain incentive based structures for labour. It employs a policy of “from each according to his ability to each according to his works”. Inequality still exists as explained by Marx here:

This equal right is still constantly stigmatized by a bourgeois limitation… one worker is married, another is not; one has more children than another… Thus, with an equal performance of labor, and hence an equal share in the social consumption fund, one will in fact receive more than another. — Critique of the Gotha Programme

It is during this lower stage that the transformation of social relations and productive forces gradually alters the motivations for labor to a more virtue-based one.

The problem most communism skeptic people have with communism is that they reason within the current modes of subsistence and assume it is impossible.

“What we have to deal with here is a communist society, not as it has developed on its own foundations, but, on the contrary, just as it emerges from capitalist society; which is thus in every respect, economically, morally, and intellectually, still stamped with the birthmarks of the old society from whose womb it emerges.” — Critique of the Gotha Programme

Marx also stated that he expected us to remain in the lower stage of communism for centuries, but it is during this stage that we prepare the productive forces to sustain communism and start producing goods for their use-value rather than for their exchange value, so that we can achieve the higher stage of communism which employs 'from each according to their ability to each according to his needs. This higher stage is truly classless because we would supposedly have solved scarcity, it would be stateless because people would organize communally to meet their needs, and it would be moneyless because the means of production and means of subsistence would be free for all to access.

In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor… has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life’s prime want… only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be fully left behind and society inscribe on its banners: ‘From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!’ — Critique of the Gotha Programme

Riiiiight. Keep telling yourself that

The biggest joke here is you think governments represent workers
