Second wish is for a version of communism that actually works on a large scale.

[-] [email protected] 49 points 1 month ago

Just have to love that you get downvoted for something so basic. "Nah, the current and past versions were fine!" Like what the fuck?

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

It's probably the same people who downvoted the meme. Effectively people who don't want ANY version of communism

Welcome to Lemmy.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

The post has 23 upvotes. What are you on about?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

It had 0 when I commented.

I can not see the number of up/down votes, sadly, they copied that flaw from Reddit.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Interesting. My app allows me to have them separate, so I see all the up separate from all the down, and always have. I refused early on to use anything that combines them because I want the full picture of engagement.

If you use an app, check through the settings and see if it’s supported (all the iOS apps I tested have it). Idk about web, might be something to look into tho since the data is all there, so it’s just be a matter of handling.

Using Connect, I will have a look! Yes, setting exists, nice!

Yeah lets not look at the large scale capitalism that is definitely working for society

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Shit, we have examples or socialized markets that run whole economies. We don't need to go far... Shit enforcing the current rules equally would change the world..

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I think we have enough tech today to make it better

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Yah, the pervasive surveillance should help immensely and totally not be used against the people.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

wait until you find out what this tech is used for under capitalism

So, I haven't been on Lemmy for very long, but one thing seems to be true here, just like on Reddit: People don't understand nuance and are only drawn to extremes. There's sooo much going on between facism and unchecked capitalism and communism, but so many people here are just willfully ignoring that, apparently 🙄

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Lemmy was made by Marxists, and the FOSS community itself has lots of Marxists and Anarchists.

It isn't that people here are willfully ignoring nuance, people have legitimate views that are considered extreme outside Lemmy, because Lemmy's structure brings them here instead of Reddit.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

yes, lengthy, nuanced, disputations, are just what the four panel comics, on the meme forum, needs.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

If it was only that simple

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

It isn't, which is why much theory and practice has occured since the inception of these ideas, and grown over time.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

But why didn't the number of wishes decrement?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Because the genie agreed and didn't think of it as a chore to do in any way.

Is that a genie or David Cameron?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Problem as always with these Wishes. You didn't really clarify what we will have instead of capitalism. Now he changed the world to some entire new system that no one ever thought of before that is even worse. :o You need to state as much detail as possible when wishing
