Every day complaints about capitalism
To be fair, that was a lot of my Reddit, too. Antiwork and work reform were constantly on the front page lol.
It's more a vent for them than anything else because they never actually do anything.
We need to stop talking and ACT !
You are saying this is a good thing right?
Does it make a difference to do it here though?
Define difference. For me personally it's pretty cool to finally have some sort of community that seems like minded on at least the surface level instead of just constantly being stared at as if I were a fish who just questioned the usefulness of water.
Will it spontaneously make come about utopia? Probably not but if that's your lower bar for doing anything I'm pretty sure you are gonna have a bad time.
While also being really bad at socialism
Meh, so do I.
That's just what happens when you don't have nazi mods/admins constantly suppressing everything left of hitler.
They just suppress everything right of Karl Marx here.
Which is good. All Karl said is "Don't exploit people" and "see politics like a science" all very reasonable stances.
Yeah, he was also a huge antisemite, soโฆ..
Not really
It's the main reason why I don't get along with fundamentalists. Marx was a very flawed person and had a lot of garbage views.
Such as?
DW i'm not talking about the economics, he was right about that. I'm referring to the stuff he want back on later in life upon finding out more. Scientific socialism is all about growing and learning from your mistakes and even though Marx was initially wrong about a lot of stuff, his ideology steered him right back on the correct path; proving that even a flawed person can become a force of overwhelming good through following socialism. Social fascists (liberals) will point to all the bad things a socialist has said/done not realizing that shit gets better with time, while their people start bad and get worse over the period of their life because their ideology is one of exploitation and evil.
Just block the communities, or even the two most notorious instances as a whole. The user experience gets 100x better.
