Aye I wish belived that capitalism created a fair society. Seems more comfy.

In my experience, the point of leftism is to bring more power to the average citizen. What about that do you disagree with?

Not op, but I’d guess it’s probably the part where you start murdering people and removing their basic freedoms.

That’s also around the time someone walks up with a Fascism stencil and sprays it over your communism label.

Communism =/= leftism. It’s an extreme form of socialism.

My biggest problem isn’t even the communist ideals. Have your ideas, that’s fine. I don’t care.

My problem is the amount of people coming into post comments attacking American Imperialism® on posts that aren’t even related to communist ideals or, sometimes, that don’t even mention America. It gets tiring reading how much America sucks when that’s not even the point of the post.

this is how I feel about the liberals to be honest, but that’s the beauty of lemmy: we can have our instance to talk about communism, and you can have your instance to talk about how much you hate communism.

“I know we’re the dominant group in everyday society, and most regular people agree with us, which means most people you must interact with on the daily are probably liberal, but we live rent free in your head you see, and it totally doesn’t have anything to do with us shoving our bullshit down your throats every day in your daily life. It’s because you’re pathetic!”

Sure, Jan. Sure.

I just love that we can sit here in the fediverse and talk about it without one or the other getting banned. I guess I’m old school first amendment.

The problem isn’t communism per se, but communism forcibly imposed.

More precisely, the problem is that communism is the superior system to the degree that it’s egalitarian - that it eliminates the ruling class and instead treats all citizens equally - and the forcible imposition of communism immediately destroys that, since it presumes that those carrying out the forcible imposition rightfully possess the authority to do so, and thereby simply establishes them as a new ruling class.

Communism should be the goal, but in order to actually fulfill its potential, it MUST be voluntarily adopted by the people rather than forcibly imposed.

This but also humans are inherently greedy, easy to corrupt, and prone to power hungry authoritarianism, so no system we create to govern ourselves has ever, or will ever, be fair or just.
