It’s a meaningless word that liberals and anti-communists use to try and down-punch and discredit us.

I believe Norway still has a lot of good systems to take care of its citizens.

Sure, I’m not saying welfare programs are bad, but the system is still Capitalist. We’re already seeing policies being rolled back as the pendulum swings. Norway is able to afford its citizens these luxuries because of its historical exploitation and wealth. That, and because of the proximity to the Soviet Union; they feared uprising similar to what was going on there, so concessions were made. It’s always concessions.

Anybody who uses the term “tankie” can safely be ignored and blocked.

but social democracy has been a good way of keeping capitalism in-check in Norway

Even though some of these concessions have been rolled back? Also, Norway, etc were able to offer these concessions by exploiting other countries.

What I am interested in learning is how society would operate and function under socialism / communism. More about the differences. Preferably from less dry sources than The Capital from Marx. Where can I learn more? Preferably a bit entertaining.

A podcast called Actually Existing Socialism is really good!

glad you enjoyed your stay!

Oh look, another liberal blaming eveybody and anybody except the traish-tier Democrat platform/candidate.

At our DSA rally, one one Zionist showed up to stir up some shit, but he left pretty quickly

I don’t really believe in ethical consumption, but Penzys spices are awesome! They’re such troll too, I love it!

I’ve had accounts shadow banned due to VPN. I’ve had more accounts banned from subs due to annoying mods. I’m still on reddit, but I really do prefer the non-corporate/non-VC-backed social media

Liberals will claim that they are furious at what’s going on and then proceed to vote for another capitalist who perpetuates what’s going on, all while refusing to listen to Socialists. 🤷‍♀️

Leftists, of course. Liberals will continue to be in denial for the foreseeable future. Conservatives just dgaf.

wdym? Every single week there’s protests. Are you part of an org? If you’re part of an org maybe you’ll hear about them more?

I think people are having a “Napster moment” with AI, watching it disrupt the status quo and being afraid of it. I think there’s way too many anti-technology hot takes.

However, AI is absolutely a threat to and a weapon against the working class (or will be very soon). The capitalist class is just salivating to use this tool to further exploit people.

regardless of all other factors

Yea that’s not what DEI is. Look up affinity bias and why we need things like DEI.

Not brave search

But, all the liberals are there now, so it must be great! /s

Once proton integrates an office suite I’ll be all set. (It’s in the road map. When? Who knows?)

Linux mint de

You’re going to distro hop (we all do) so just start somewhere. It’s debian based, so what you learn will be applicable to like 80% of the distros out there.

I like gnome. Plasma is nice too. Lately I’ve just been using minimal i3 window manager.

Good luck!

Blackshirts and Reds

Both are imperialists. Both are evil. You don’t remember ole two-tap Obama?

I don’t think Dems are even capable of doing anything. They serve the same Capitalist interests that the Republicans do, so this isn’t surprising. The system is working as intended. People are slowly starting to realize this.

That said, anything is more than nothing, which is what they’re currently doing. At minimum they should do what the Republicans do whenever Dems have power: block, harass, impede, shutdown, filibuster… The problem is that there’s always a cohort of Dems that vote against party lines (again, working as intended).

Why would they?
