Inside of you there are three wolves. None of them have read Marx
Read Marx.
I will never read. I’m not even reading this site, I’ve hooked it up to a TTS-machine that slavishly reads out all text on the page. It does not follow linebreaks, instead it breaks up the entire screen on horizontal lines and then reads out each letter individually. When every letter had been pronounced individually it scrolls down then continues until the thread has been emptied. I then gather each letter in my mind palace and parse their meaning. Thus I avoid liberalism
I asked my mom and she’s a highschool teacher and she says this still counts as reading
sorry
Capitalism is when you have treats.
Socialism is when you have a treat.
Communism is when Stalin eats your treat with his spoon.

its beautiful
I mean, what even is a “Dictatorship of the Proletariat” anyway?
I dunno, sounds authoritarian
Vibes
The amount of idiots i’ve come across that think it means actual dictatorship is insane
“A dictatorship of everyone except the 20 people we all hate”
What’s hilarious (or depressing) is that nearly 100 years ago now Americans still had these fucking brainworms. In 1936 Anna Louise Strong wrote:
Most Americans shrink from the word “dictatorship.” “I don’t want to be dictated to,” they say. Neither, in fact, does anyone. But why do they instinctively take the word in its passive meaning, and see themselves as the recipients of orders? Why do they never think that they might be the dictators? Is that such an impossible idea? Is it because they have been so long hammered by the subtly misleading propaganda about personal dictatorships, or is it because they have been so long accustomed to seek the right to life through a boss who hires them, that the word dictatorship arouses for them the utterly incredible picture of one man giving everybody orders?
amerikkkans have never had a mindset of taking matters into their own hands and being the ones to dictate their society.
When your political understanding doesn’t extend past the “Two Cows” poster in middle school.
Capitalism is where everything is owned by an individual
That’s just not fair! Everything is split between 4 or 5 of us at least!…
For the time beingwas gonna say that, bit of an unintentional admission when they say “an individual” as opposed to “individuals”
I saw communism defined on
today as “when one corporation owns everything and the people suffer under it” as opposed to now where a small few own everything and make us suffer.Did not engage.
just ask ‘what if two corporations own everything’
For whatever reason, the conversation didn’t center around the idea that corporations shouldn’t own everything. Steering it there was just going to get me nowhere. I have a head cold today, so if I wade back into that comments thread somehow, I’ll post a link.
just sound them out for how many corporations owning everything is fine with them. is it 6 or maybe 7? because thats about right nowadays.
For real.
All you ever get when you expose their ignorance is “that’s Russian talking points, sweaty”
The politics understander has logged on.
I am genuinely curious how they came to this conclusion.
Well I did hide the full story, they were actually correcting another users idea of what capitalism, socialism and communism is
I upbeared you after, I swear
It’s entirely possible they were literally taught exactly that in a poli-sci class, or at least a highschool civics class. All of those are just basically just brainworm infestation programs.
Imagine studying poli-sci. “Yes I have a master’s in being propagandized”

Ummm violence doesn’t solve anything sweetie we need to debate them in the marketplace of ideas
I started studying Masonry so I can start building the execution wall
The marxism understanders have arrived
be afraid, liberals
Isn’t like it more like.
Captlism class distinctions And no worker control or worker democracy
Socalism is you got worker control of stuff but you still have class distinctions, but worker democracy and a smaller state then under captliasm but still a state and there aren’t any captlist countrys lefts to challenge power.
Communism is no class distinctions and even so far to say the completel removal of the state and outsourcing of democracy to technical abstractions.
Something like that.
I gotta be honest and say that my eyes kinda glaze over once we’re past “who owns the means of production”. It’s so far off I am incapable of worrying about it. I just know that communism is working towards a classless, stateless and moneyless society and it’s a bit more complex than “when the government does stuff”
And when the government does everything it’s communism
./s
Under communism i will be the Minister of Toothbrushes. only those able bodied workers with more than 20 teeth will be allowed to have them. toothpaste will be distributed at the state general store in pea-sized packets twice daily before meals. the only drink allowed will be orange juice.

no no tell me, I wanna learn, give me some good sources and references please
Praying rn he posts black book
They’ve sorta stopped responding as soon as I ask for any sources/proof/backup for their claims. It’s like a magic spell that scares away libs, it’s really impressive. It’s happened 6 or so times so far.
“No! You’re supposed to accept the status quo no matter what! You’re supposed to affirm my worldview, not challenge it!”
hey where are the sources and references? Why aren’t you sharing what you know? I really want to learn about communism please. All the people here just say that socialism is when the government does stuff, but then what is communism?
If you want proof communism is bad then here it is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism
No I will not elaborate.
Damn I failed to consider that. I am converted to liberalism 
Please help, I’ve dropped my glasses!
I’m blind without my glasses!
Won’t a white male savior please come and educate me on my politics?!
uh
have you read marx, cause I have and I don’t think you know what it means
You showed those tankies
As opposed to liberals, who do not blindly believe, instead they see capitalism ravaging the world and burning down nature and say “hell yeah brother”. A better world is possible, to believe that doesn’t make you blind.
