They're Nervous
(lazysoci.al)
That's... Really poorly thought out in context
Eh 🤷♂️
I like to compare my beliefs/actions to groups that I don't like to remind myself not to become them
Dude that’s just way too on the nose. Please don’t agitate against your betters. They have money and are therefore better than you, don’t you know?
I’ve never seen the western propaganda machine be so obvious about it
They're the ones waging war already, they're afraid of the 99% fighting back
It’s class war from above since the 1970s! It is high time to stand up and fight back!
It's always been a class war. It takes a lot of effort and violence to maintain a ruling class.
Bruh, it’s been nothing but class war since the beginning of time. It’s just that the underclass almost never fights back.
Citizens of other countries should follow suit. Vote against the establishment and for parties that want to tax the fucking rich, make it more difficult for them to buy property, parties that want to increase the minimum wage, reduce working hours, empower unions, and so much more.
Tax the snot out of unoccupied real estate.
Edit: and do it based on parcel size and building size.
The UK should close the tax or lack thereof on dividends. And make corporations on the channel islands less shielded. Tax the royal real estate portfolio and get rid of the house of Lords.
Why do you want to get rid of the House of Lords? I would like the hereditary and religious titles titles gone but why scrap the whole thing? They can only force revision of a bill and delay it. Which seems to be a good thing to me.

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.
If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.
Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, upvoting good contributions and downvoting those of low-quality!
Rules
0. Only post socialist memes That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)
1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.
2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such, as well as condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.
3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries. That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).
4. No Bigotry. The only dangerous minority is the rich.
5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals. We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.
6. Don't idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals. Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.
7. Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:
- Racism
- Sexism
- Queerphobia
- Ableism
- Classism
- Rape or assault
- Genocide/ethnic cleansing or (mass) deportations
- Fascism
- (National) chauvinism
- Orientalism
- Colonialism or Imperialism (and their neo- counterparts)
- Zionism
- Religious fundamentalism of any kind
(This is not a definitive list, the spirit of the other rules still counts! Eventual duplicates with other rules are for emphasis.)
