PLEASE WAKE UP YOU DO NOT WANT AMERICA TO BE SOCIALIST!!! SOCIALISM HAD LITERALLY NEVER WORKED

[fungeyspunkhole]

Socialism has worked and will work again; it is the inevitable result of the inherent crises of capitalism

[pool-of-water]

name one country that socialism worked in

[fungeyspunkhole]

The USSR and China collectively raised over a billion people out of poverty, and turned agrarian semi-colonial backwaters into modern industrial states capable of rivalling the entrenched western empires

Cuba has, despite some of the strongest and most extensive sanctions in modern history, created a healthcare system that exceeds that of the US, so much so that they offer medical services for free to imperialised and exploited countries

Vietnam asserted its right to independence and sovereignty against overwhelming force from the western empires, and created a comprehensive industrial state out of an impoverished former colony

Even within the constraints of capitalism, socialist projects have been remarkably successful: Kerala, India, oversaw a complete eradication of extreme poverty under the Communist Party, making it the first and only province of India to do so

I could keep going, but it seems unnecessary: socialism has worked extensively and the forces of history dictate that it will inevitably subsume and destroy the capitalist mode of production

Distribution of wealth is very popular with people who have no wealth, and have contributed nothing to society themselves. Do you want to prove me wrong? Hmmmm, do you REALLY want to prove me wrong?!

Here's how.

I have an idea that you should all start a commune; and the BEST way to do it is...on-line.

Be the first by volunteering to do so -- instead of dragging others along with you --- live up to your conviction, merit, standards and worth.

Create an on-line community where you all work and put your paychecks into a "community pool", where it's distributed evenly. Sure it might take a little time and energy and work, but YOU CAN DO IT, we live in a time where this is 100% feasible and easily done through the technology that's available today! There's nothing stopping you for living up to the ideals that you inspire others to live up to by being the first ones to make this happen!

I'm asking you, wannabe-"deMoCRaTIc sOCiaLiSt", "cOmMuNisT", "sOcIALisT" and people that want to be "Free of the man and the state" to live up to your standards. Put your money, where your mouth is.

I really want to see how many of these people can make it a month let alone a year. If you can make this happen, for ONE YEAR then I too will join.

Let's do this!

Any takers?

Communism is about workers owning the means of production themselves and ending the exploitation of labour by the bourgeoisie

Pooling and sharing wealth does not mean that the workers are being adequately compensated for their labour, nor does it represent any meaningful control over the mode of production

If you had read even the tiniest amount of communist theory, you would know that it’s infinitely more complex than the ‘hur dur share everything’ ideology Reddit makes it out to be

Thanks to Socialism, and Socialism's retarded thalidomide baby, Feminism. They only say we're radicalized because we're not going along with the death cult. No different than muslims calling non believers infidels.

It's really awesome how a vast majority of self-identified liberals conceive of liberalism as this smol bean birthday boy ideology of Let's All Get Along Together and frame it as this brave and kind yet tragically neglected voice of empathy and reason rather than, y'know, the dominant ideology of the capitalist world system that has caused countless wars, overseen colonialism and settler colonialism and neocolonialism, eviscerated state systems to create free market carnage, toppled countless popular governments through interventions on trumped-up charges of illegitimacy, and produced a climate catastrophe of near-apocalyptic proportions by putting its hands up while corporations torch the world.

And in the face of all this, and the inevitable rise of fascism from the material conditions created by the liberal world order, the liberal can say with complete earnestness that what we Really Need is a return to the good old days of liberalism where everyone was niceys and the slaughter and cruelty and meanness was confined to the global periphery and the slums and the villages rather than interfering with our sacred rituals of treat consumption.

Did y'all know that 70% of all mining operations in latin america and the caribbean involve a canadian transnational mining corporation?

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Anyway, when I was in college I was constantly going to marches and protests against canadian and saudi mining projects in the Santurbán páramo, one of the most important ecosystems in Colombia in terms of biodiversity, and the source of drinking water of 30+ municipalities in my state, including the city I live in. Ultimately these mining proposals lost their license due to environmental regulations.

But now that our new far-right president elect is looking to suck up to imperial core powers once again, canadian mining corporation Aris mining is interested in re-starting mining projects in Santurbán. Which, would inevitably give cyanide poisoning not only to my city's drinking water, but 30+ other municipalities and indigenous communities.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

The imperial core will see one of latin america's veins and go "is anyone gonna cut that open?" and not wait for an answer

when i worked for my australian civil/digging engineering megacorp they were working on setting up lithium mines hand in hand with the canadians. they are all complicit.

the highest recorded wet bulb temperatures in the world occur in india, jsyk. in odisha, they’ve hit 34.6 degrees celsius. the human survivability limit is 35 degrees celsius but the body faces significant risks, potentially fatal risks, even at 30 degrees as it starts failing to cool itself, like i’m talking organ failure levels of risk. climate change isn’t coming to peak, it’s been in the global south where you can’t see it or feel it.

[probuccalfat]

imagine temperatures that high and humidity as high as 75%—you make more heat than you can ever cool. your sweat cannot evaporate fast enough. you literally boil alive. heat deaths in india are underreported and they already hit the thousands. there is no plan, for a nation of almost 2 billion people. no plan. nothing.

[colddraftt]

India is being left to die in the heat

Modi denied climate change for years. Now, as heat deaths mount, his government offers branding instead of protection.

The Nazis also studied the US' colonial expansion and genocide of Indigenous peoples as a model for the establishment of their own ethnostate.

This is why I will always resist the "For their [the oppressors'] time period..." justifications for historical USAmerican bullshit. Jim Crow and Manifest Destiny (and much more) aren't just abhorrent by today's ethical standards--they were anomalously cruel and unprecedented within their historical context.

Does anyone know what to do about the temperature and also the prices

[40ouncesandamule]

Thankfully, there is a convenient book about what is to be done.

Good news: the solution to the high temperature is the same solution to the prices!
