Ok but for real. Is someone trying? Because let’s fucking go tho. Because if enough people support it…

Good MAHA policies? This is actually shocking.

sighs, Ok, fine, if you want to do this rn, I guess we can.

Though I have no doubt it was probobly originally a word meant to slander real communism as the western world has done countless times (few ppl on lemmy would/should deny that the west has produced a shitton of bad anti-commie propoganda), I also fully agree that Authoritarianism does actually exist as much as Capitalism, Communism, and Anarchism exists based off of the actual agreed upon definition. If you take the definition of the system itself, there is no reason to conflate it with Communism. It IS a different system than real Communism, hence why that word was used as Anti-Communist Propaganda. It associates communism with a different (and very real) malignant system to make communism look bad. Sorry if this became too much of a rant, but I really just think that denying the existance of “Authoritarian” states is not a good idea. Let’s explain to people that Communism ≠ Authoritarianism instead of trying to claim that Authoritarianism doesn’t exist.

Edit: I also fully beleive that ANY government/social system can devolve into Authoritarianism if implemented incorrectly or not vigilant enough about making sure not to centralize power in a problematic way.

Are you… being sarcastic?

If so: Good one!
If not: I would not like to enguage in the infighting atm, so I bid you a lovely day,

Does it happen a lot around here though? Most of the time I think we’re mostly just critical of Capitalists and Authoritarians. Usually Socialism, real Communism, and Anarchism are not really critisized except by some .world users.

Edit: Except during a round of good ol’ Leftist Infighting.

Forgive me, I don’t know what history we are talking about involving the CIA helping the antifa movement against the right wing (except for against Nazi germany maybe?). Would anyone care to point me to what the meme is actually referancing please (I’d love to learn about it)? Thx!

Wait, doesn’t the airpod completely mistranslate and misreprestent the thing that it heard in this format usually? Because if so, this meme is actually (accidentally?) mocking tankies.

That is something I have considered as well. I actually do beleive it may escalate into full-out violent combat between the fasciast administration and the citizens within a few years. Not exactly looking forward to that, but it also would be like a release valve on a overpressurized pressure-cooker. That is to say, it may just ‘need’ to happen.

So let me get this straight, you’re trying to criticize people for wanting to revolt against capitalism, because they’re getting fucked over by capitalism and the job market?..

Edit: Obviously it’s slightly different in various ways, but in further reflection on your meme, I’m sure that people were saying similar things about unemployed African-Americans during the Civil Rights movement. “They’re just lazy and should get a job before complaining about the system”. Yikes.

Ok, I am not saying he wasn’t, but would somebody mind explaining to me exactly why everyone is so ready to declare he is right-wing?

He’s from a morman family, but that doesn’t necisserily mean shit, the most left person I know was raised by mormans.

He also was saying Kirk was too hateful. That does not sound like words from a 4chan incel to me.

And the bullet casings were distinctly antifa, also seems like not a right wing nut to me.

I only ask because I am honestly concerned that the rhetoric around his politics is getting hijacked by people trying to make him a right winger to hide the fact that the left is not afraid to kill.

Edit: Thanks to everyone who took the time to explain what indicates he is a Groyper. And thanks in advance to any more info people share!

“Mom, Dad! I just found out I’m 90% Napali!”

Are ‘they’ in the room with us right now?

It would, in fact, be a Fossify Calendar you see

The american leftists that continue to allow America to keep being capitalist by not acting and instead just reading the theory without doing much other than feeling better about themselves because they read a book. That is most of the American ‘Communists/Leftists’ I have interacted with

I appreciate the apology for the jab and i as well apologize for seeming somewhat resistant and bitter. Most of my problem with china comes from how they handle the digital front and has kind of left a bad taste in my mouth for how they treat their citizens, so it’s really hard for me to imagine they’re doing socialism correctly. I will probably go and look into the sources you linked.

You say that as if the white american leftists do not pride themselves on having read all of the theory, yet still support our capitalistic system even having read all of the theory

You should send those books to china and see if they’ll read them.

I support that.
