Communism as it has been tried was indeed flawed af. We’re going to need something else if we want to survive and be much more extreme than that. Your old communism was still a money economy, with the inherent problems thereof, functioned badly with greedy and fearful people at the top.

It’s always funny to me that when you tell them capitalism sucks you are a fan of 20th century East bloc regimes. No I’m not a tankie. Tankies are extremely stupid.

Given that the US is a fascist state at the moment and that Reddit is an American media company that has to navigate in that country where propaganda and free speech suppression is so present that seems to be a given.

You believe a great deal about capitalism that isn’t true. Capitalism is very much not about bringing down cost, socialism is. Capitalism hates innovation, if capitalists have something that makes them money they’ll commit bloody mass murder rather than change it, look at the oil industry, the tobacco industry, US healthcare, the whole PFAS debacle etc, etc, etc.

Ah, the old “glorifying violence” eh?

Pretty much the same that and people reporting my every comment after I wrote a few negative comments on Trump and Musk.

Why would you not want to live in a post scarcity society? There would be no downside except you don’t get to feel you are better than someone else because of the stuff you posess or the money you make. Your comment reads very much like “fuck you I got mine”

This a thousand times. The world is throwing away resources at an astounding rate while people are sick, homeless and starving because of numbers on digital ledgers. We need to drop the whole idea of money. It’s served its purpose, run its course and has since turned into a life on this planet threatening perversion.

Could the bill be used to base measures on that help combat climate change? Sometimes idiots are actually useful.

At first yes, but then it grew on her.

Yes but so is wet cardboard so that is not a high bar. I never understood why people liked oreos. They’re really shitty biscuits, the only thing good about them is the marketing. I think I ate two in my life. The first because people hyped them up, the second because I could not believe they were quite as bad as I remembered because people still seemed to eat them of their own free will. They were actually as bad as they were the first time.

Well it can’t have hurt that the beast owned a magical castle.

Happens regularly often the police officers find themselves compelled to kill their passive aggressor in self defense.

It’s only a way of starting an interaction, it escalates easily with things like “illegal possession”, “resisting arrest” and “assaulting a police officer” . Which are all things that might happen without the suspect doing anything really.

It’s not just murderers that get that though. Even if you went to jail for something like driving while black, you are a dangerous ex-con for life.
