Why do you always post these anti capitalist memes? It’s like a plague trying to infect minds. It’s just as bad as a Nazi socialist spouting dumb propaganda.

What’s wrong with being anti capitalist? I mean, if capitalism was so good I’m sure people would post pro-capitalism memes, no?

Hey, that’s a good point.

Maybe because they aren’t funny haha? Wait this meme wasn’t funny either… Maybe we should have some capitalist memes

At least then we’d know for sure.

no such thing as a nazi socialist, and comparing anticapitalists to nazis is a hair shy of nazi apologia, attempting to equate bad stuff with not-bad stuff.

It’s not even short, it’s straight apologia.

It’s largely true, though. Capitalism benefits those with the most money. Go ahead and try and create a show that goes against their wishes and get it aired on a popular service/network.

It’s always funny how on Lemmy everything is always capitalism’s fault and the solution to every problem is socialism.

Careful there, don’t wanna get down voted for wrong think

Nazis were Capitalists, lmao. Either way, this is a leftist platform, so there are going to be leftist memes.

What I meant is that it’s the same level of propagandizing. Also, this isn’t a ‘leftist platform’. You can’t just claim things. FOSS isn’t inherently leftist.

In today’s world when the right is fascist and is deepthroating corporations, yes it is leftist.

It’s not propagandizing to post memes you personally don’t agree with. FOSS is in fact inherently leftist, it rejects both the profit motive and individual ownership of IP.

That is just not true. Free Software developers still have the copyright to whatever they make and nobody says that they can’t make money - it’s free as in freedom, not price. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

Would you consider Meta’s Threads as FOSS? It’s connected to the fediverse. What about Bluesky? Are they inherently leftist?

The fediverse isn’t FOSS itself. FOSS kinda requires being Free and Open Source, lol

foss isn’t, no, but free software is.

the free software movement has always eschewed the term “open source” since it was popularized by Eric Raymond.

further, Lemmy is developed by the admins of the flagship instance lemmy.ml who are avowed communists.

if you don’t know what you’re talking about about, you can just keep your mouth shut.

You should read these posts by the creators of Lemmy

First points out that lemmy.ml is not the flagship. Second goes through that lemmy was not intended to be left, but was intended to just not be US focused. I am okay with that but if the suggestion is that Lemmy needs to maintain leftist ideologies throughout the FOSS communities then that’s just wrong. If I get proven wrong and you can prove that these communities need to be leftist anti capitalist then I would be happy to close my Lemmy account asap.
