  • The problem with socialism

  • Then, I don't know what to say to you. Having conversations with low information people with yield low information results. That is in no way relevant to what we're talking about. You might as well have said "Yeah, but lots of people I know have never even heard the word 'fission' before" while in a thread talking about nuclear science.

  • havent had it since friday🫠

  • I have never seen a human, let alone a woman, behave like this.

    This pretty much explains the rest of your comment.

  • That word only exists in English? That's weird, I wonder then how so many people from non-Engliah speaking countries learned about it then?

  • "Its 2026 and in my third week here on North Sentinel Island, I've discovered that, despite a century of a world super power using the word 'socialist' in the name of their country, somehow these people have never heard the word, 'socialism'".

    That's how you sound.

    Once again, I don't give a shit what people call themselves, so if they are good guys, they are on the same side as me, because that's the side I've chosen? People claiming to be socialists but they're not actually socialists, then they're not socialists. That's not a bad guy/good guy thing, that's just how words work.

    Again, there are incredible people who have been vital to the socialist causes who would never call themselves socialist, and there are no problems with that.

    My problem is with you specifically. The label isn't my agenda beyond just trying to get you to stop caring about what someone.calls themselves and start caring about what they do.

  • Hi, venturing silver here (sending that shit back, too). Do you have a handy link to all of these changes that I can send to my old scout buddies?

  • I think you're way too hung up on labels. Why do you give a shit what somebody else calls themselves? Maybe you've just been meeting socialists that know you have a weird anti"-ism" thing, so they just don't use that word and instead describe ideas to you (which is a fairly common tactic to take around somebody that is slightly unhinged). Nobody said everybody needs to be any kind of anything. There are lots of helpful people to socialist causes who don't consider themselves to be socialists. That's called critical support is is highly valued.

  • Funny that

  • The state has a monopoly on the legitimized use of violence, specifically. Obviously other violence does happen

  • I feel like you've interacted with too many socialists online. That is not my irl experience at all. In fact, your last paragraph there does describe most irl socialists.

  • Like, socialism is, and should be a constant revolutionary project, not just a static position.

    If you try to put it that way, that then again opens it for others to add/remove as they feel like.While I understand that socialism is not some hard program that can exactly apply to every scenario, there has to be some tenets of it that are defended well, to prevent a malicious actor from uprooting its base.

    There's is. It's really simple: "From each, according to their ability, to each, according to their need." Anything else on top of that is philosophical.

    My personal solution is simply that I don't subscribe to any -ism and don't group myself with anything even if it tends to provide similar solutions in the current scenario, simply because in some other one, the group's solution might end up greatly differing from what I would consider acceptable.

    This is a similar tact that I took when I was about 16-17, but I find that to be a very naive point of view. Regardless of whether or not you want to apply any label to yourself (which is perfectly valid) the material conditions of the system we live in will come down on you too. So you either end up in the "We are stronger together" camp, or you end up in the "Me and mine are what needs to be protected. Other people be damned" camp. And if you find yourself in the former, you most likely align with people who call themselves socialist, and if you find yourself in the latter, well then you're probably a bootlicker

  • I personally don't subscribe to the idea of leaders who can't justify their position. Maybe your problem is that you see socialism as a system to be implemented rather than a thing that you do? Like, socialism is, and should be a constant revolutionary project, not just a static position.

  • Yeah, except my quote is real, and it was actually made as a promotional item by Microsoft and HP

  • Does anyone else also have this weird feeling that maybe governments can already break into smartphones and this whole "we can't break into it" they tell the public is a facade?

    Jump

  • I swear to God, the government has done a good job of making people forget about the Snowden leak.

    Many governments, all over the world, but especially the U.S. and China, can and are installing physical hardware backdoors into essentially every consumer grade phone and computer in the market.
