Somebody here called me a "Tankie", but achually i am an anthropomorphic M1134 anti-tank guided missile vehicle, not a tank.

[–] JasSmith@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago

I identify as a naughty Swiss made Piranha V integrated with the Spike LR2 anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) system. Wanna bang?

Us leftists sure do love arguing with each other. It's a very productive past time. Anyways, what's everyones' thoughts on Fidel Castro?

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

personally I thought his T-shirts didn't sell as well as Che's, which is a shame for both of their stock market appraisals

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

Stock market? That sounds pretty capitalist to me... FIDEL CASTRO AND CHE GUEVARA WEREN'T REAL COMMUNISTS, THEY WERE PAWNS OF THE US GOVERNMENT

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Wait, so who’s the ActivityPub chick?

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 30 points 2 months ago

Maybe the real ActivityPub chicks were the friends we made along the way.

Apparent spontaneity be damned, it must have been by design. Fedi goddess has spoken.

[–] Goten@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

ActivityPub is for those who haven't figured out how to bait people on Bluesky wanting to move on from the toxic callout culture of Twitter, to dogpile on their fellow leftists, because they had petty arguments in private... /semijoking

Given that the last 25 times humanity attempted communism it ended in authoritarianism (and unspeakable suffering and horror), I think it's time to admit that there is a fundamental issue with the ideology which does not accurately account for the human component.

[–] releaseTheTomatoes@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's a fundamental issue with centralizing that ideology into a political party.

[–] JasSmith@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

That's a key phase of communism as prescribed by Marx.

Violent revolution to overthrow bourgeois democracy.
Centralised control, redistribution, re-education.
Implement glorious and free democracy again.

They keep getting stuck at 2 for some reason. It's almost like power corrupts or something.

Werent the first 25 times capitalism was tried the same?

[–] JasSmith@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

I don't think so. The Dutch Republic (17th century) is widely regarded by economic historians as the first capitalist economy in practice. It was wildly successful and generated massive quality of life improvements across the nation. Industrial revolution followed soon afterwards, which marked the transition in Britain to "modern capitalism." This saw the greatest leap in technological innovation, lifespan, food, medicine, etc, in human history.

No system is perfect and one could point to many imperfections, but I see few notable systemic failures of capitalism along the way. It seems to rarely give rise to dictators and famine, as we see with states which attempt communism. On the contrary. Capitalist nations tend almost universally towards increased rights for women and minorities, democracy, and scientific pursuits.

To steelman your position, a notable exception could be the Weimar Republic. However I would credit their hyperinflation to unsustainable debt burdens placed on them by other nations following WW1, forcing them to print currency unsustainably, thereby hyperinflating the Papiermark.

People on lemmy complain about both the USSR and the war on Gaza

Also it has been unclassified that the protests were indeed orchestrated by the US, so...
