I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

JDPON Don becoming real

The large-scale genocide of Palestine has happened since the Nakba. Al-Aqsa Flood was a response to genocide.

I disagree, then.

Then what is?

What are the problems with wanting production and distribution to be collectivized and oriented around needs, rather than profits? How is this comparable to Reddit?

That’s fair, haha.

I wouldn’t say social media is a good space for intelligent conversations, haha.

Yep, it’s kinda fun that way.

Usually when people leave reddit, many communists do come and find a much better place here. I think it’s good that we have a lot of left wing people here, and have little tolerance for right-wing and pro-imperialist views.

Many more communists and linux enthusiasts.

Check their modlog, they were banned for being a bigot.

It has some anti-features that make it worse IMO, like the social credit score “feature,” not to mention the right-wing and anti-communist views of the lead dev.

Just agitate in communist and other anti-imperialist communities on reddit, not on reddit in general, for now. The liberals usually flock to Lemmy.world anyways, leftists tend to go to left instances like Hexbear.net or Lemmygrad.ml.

Depends on the instance.

It has some features and some anti-features. Lemmy is better IMO as it doesn’t have a weird social credit score system like PieFed does.

Freedom Fries 2: Spanish edition incoming? Lmao

What changes is that society, rather than being run by capitalists and for capitalists, becomes run by the working classes, and the state acts in their interests. This is reflected in policy. You have a metaphysical way of thinking that sees systems as being capable of understanding devoid of the context they exist in, as static, and in a vacuum, ie an impossible fantasy.

Do you believe that things like the media, culture, state, and industry have absolutely no impact whatsoever on how things are decided in a given system?

Nobody is saying democracy itself is bad, but that democracy in the context of capitalism isn’t really democratic. Socialist democracy works, and does so far better than democracy in capitalist systems at achieving results for the working classes. We expect democracy to work differently in socialism because this is observably true.
