"Evidence doesn't matter" - the fascists

[–] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

"you have freedom to agree with us" - communists

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Actually fits them both and that's not the only similarity.

[–] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Socialism, communism, fascism, nazism - it's all the same shit, the only difference is just the idological mumbo-jumbo on the surface level

[–] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, my parents and grandparents lived through socialism in Poland. Heard enough from them to not have any delusions about it.

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How americanized of you.

You seem to confuse free education and healthcare, government control of essential resources (water, electricity) and government taking case of the poor and disabled to some authoritarian communist shitshow behind the iron curtain.

You're mistaking socialism for welfare state. Socialism IS the authoritarian shitshow behind iron curtain

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If that's so, why do political left wing parties name themselves according to authoritarian shitshow behind iron curtain.

[–] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Because it appeals to misguided people who have no idea what shit show it was.

Seriously, in Polish Sejm there's currently no party with "Socialism" in the name. That brand doesn't sell here

In reality the model you described earlier runs in majority of European countries - state run health care + state run or at least state controlled critical infrastructure + some welfare for poor - all of this financed by taxes collected from capitalist economy.

By all possible definitions it's a welfare state

Most of civilized world outside of US works like that.

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, woudn't be the first time words get new meaning due to events in history.

In nordic countries using taxation to limit gap between rich and poor, keeping government control of vital resources, free government sponsored healthcare, handing social welfare to poor and disabled, etc. is considered socialism.

Right wing politics is the opposite. They want to privatise everything, leave the poor and the disabled to charity organisations that work on donations from people who care, don't think the rich should be taxed for being rich. Basically minimising government ownership and control of societys money flow to establish truly free market.

[–] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 2 points 2 days ago

handing social welfare to poor and disabled, etc

The fact that you implement some policies that are socialist in nature, doesn't mean that whole system you're running is socialism. Especially considering that all these states run capitalistic economies at their core

Well, woudn't be the first time words get new meaning due to events in history.

Thing is, socialism as a system has surprisingly almost no strict definition. The best I've ever found is "Democratization of access to means of production" or "State control of means of production"

By these definitions Polish socialism with its centrally planed economy was an actual socialism.

What's the joke that I'm missing?

[–] SoftTeeth@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Lemmy mods are pathetic and ban happy, like all internet janitors

That's the joke

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 17 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I've seen what unmoderated platforms look like, so, not being an ungrateful POS, I only complain about mods when it's convenient to me in the moment.

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Seen old forums.

They are fine, did you notice the activity spike? Sure, some of it is in wrong categories...most of it is...and maybe they don't even post things related to forums...well, mostly naked titties...but so much activity!

[–] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I've seen what unmoderated platforms look like

They look like 4chan

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

not sure if you are joking but 4chan isn’t unmoderated either. just has a much more bare bones philosophy.

[–] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

/b/ has no moderation other than removal of child abuse and other illegal stuff. There are no rules on that board

And lets be honest, when people say 4chan, they mean either /b/ or /pol/

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 5 points 5 days ago

totally. but i think it’s important to let people know even /pol/ and /b/ have mods. someone the other day told me non-moderation is the “default option” for internet spaces and i think that deep and ahistorical misconception can lead to poor leadership if left unchallenged.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago

That's true for sure. Lemm.ee is better than some other instances in that regard, it's federated to all the major ones. Lemmy.world also announced moderation changes recently, which seem to be going in a positive direction.

[–] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 2 points 5 days ago

I think that might be the reason why lemmy.world admin forced loose moderation policy on everyone recently.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 0 points 5 days ago

don’t worry i get the joke and it’s not funny enough to repeat you are happier not understanding
