Why a lot of people on Lemmy like communist so much? As a person who grow up in a country which is almost destroyed by the communist party in the past I don't know what to say just why?, capitalist or not it's depends on your own country's government, at least you still can talking shit about them without getting arrested and torture to death, have we not learn from the past or other communist country, why don't you live in North Korea or China and see how've you like it
A number of reasons. Just like you claim a Communist party almost destroyed your country, Capitalist parties destroy and are destroying many countries as well. The existence of bad Communist parties does not itself mean Communism is structurally a bad thing, as pursuit of a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society is a noble goal for humanity.
I think it's fair to say that decentralization is a good check against Authoritarianism, and as such, this should be extended to the workplace, not just government.
As far as why Lemmy leans left, the founder is a Communist, and principles of decentralization and federation tend to appeal far more to leftists, while Capitalist-inclined individuals have Reddit.
Absolute load of shit, just like your false dichotomy of capitalism vs communism. Neither affects politics. In fact countries are being destroyed by the same type of people, they don't give a fuck if they're playing communism or capitalism today.
... As for why majority of countries are capitalist and not the system that has never been tried, that's because people always want to outsource decisions to someone else and when the people own means of production, there can be no production, only people inclined to produce do produce.
Classless society is impossible when 80% of people are worthless lackeys and only 20% of people even dream of doing something.
Man, I thought you said yesterday that your parents raised you right? The more I see you, the more it's clear that they mostly just raised a cynical asshole. I guess that's par for the course for a troll picking fights on obscure social media
Lmao, none of what you just said actually meant anything, beyond you hating humanity and deepthroating Capitalist boot.
Yes I'm misanthrope, what are you gonna do about it? Spout more bullshit that makes me hate you even more?
Colonial insects are the only ones who made communism work and that's because they're insects, goodluck with this knowledge.
Bad form, troll. It's weakness to let your mark know that you hate them
You don't actually have any points, though. Your whole thing is that "good thing bad because it hurts my feelings," lmao.
You're the one whose feelings get hurt every time I tell you that the only ones who implemented communism successfully have no feelings. They don't even have a brain, ants and bees are more like machines, unlike humans who have hopes, dreams, and aspirations, and some humans aspire to rock the boat which is why goymmunism will never ever work in our species.
What would a human who has hopes, dreams, and aspirations do to rock the boat in Communism? Why do you think Communism is based on requiring everyone not have hopes, dreams, and aspirations?
You don't actually know, your feelings are just hurt and so you lash out.
Anything other than what the democratically-decided master economic plan says they should be doing.
So same as Capitalism, but without the democracy. Sounds like Communism is better.
Contribute nothing and receive everything, according to everyone's needs of course.
Yea, so you don't actually understand Marx, and I'm correct. Glad you could prove me right!
I'm fine enough merely understanding the actual world I live in and not your commie pipe dream.
