Rules
- Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
- When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
- The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

I don't know where you got the impression that in Communist systems they would be "easily hacked" by individuals siezing control, what do you think a Communist structure would look like where that would be possible? The Fireman's Ball is a hyperbolic critique, calling that the "kindest end" is silly when reality was better than The Fireman's Ball in the USSR. Socialism doesn't mean everything is perfect instantly, but Capitalism is theft made systematized. Consider reading Blackshirts and Reds for a genuine critique and not just fiction.
Moreover, you explained no advantages of Capitalism over Socialism, and are still making the error of calling Socialism "public ownership" and Capitalism "private ownership."
I understand this means a lot to you, and that you have a lot of reasons to think the way you do. Also, that communicating with others, and winning them over, means a lot to you.
My ideology also means a lot to me, and I have a lot of reasons to think the way I do. ..and I disagree with you on many things. But I don't really care too much about winning people over. I think time will do that for me. ..and this feels more like a battle of wills than a conversation but conversation is why I'm conversing.
Good luck out there.
For what it's worth, I'm confident time will prove me correct as well.
fair enough. :-)
