Hey Hexbear, if you're dropping by, let me know when Russian and Chinese workers seize the means of production.

In the meantime I'm sitting here oppressed in Norway.

Polling says that Norway is #7 happiest country on Earth. Finland is #1, Denmark is #2...I wonder where China is on that list OwO

[–] Urist@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Bruh, we have oppressed people in Norway. Did you forget that our own supreme court ruled that some of our wind mills at Fosen are in violation of UN law of civil and political rights (source in Norwegian). That was two years ago and they are still standing, which is especially bad due to the historical repression and attempts at ethnic cleansing of Sámi people in Norway, that was going on for a disturbingly long time. Now, as a quick caveat I will add that on a global scale we are doing pretty alright. However, that you are fortunate and well, for which I am glad, does not mean that the sentiment of the meme is wrong. Since the 70s much of the good systems we built have been demolished by laissez-faire politics and politicians, like your beloved "Jern-Erna", lowering corporate taxes and allowing for privatization of public services (our railway system, healthcare and so on). I also don't think many people from Hexbear are deluded enough to believe in imminent revolution in Russia nor conflating the Russian government with the Communist Party of China (though I might suspect you do), making your comment either worthless or in bad faith (we both know it is both). Either way, I support seizing the means of production and voted for my convictions today. Even though I believe I probably fundamentally disagree with you, I hope you did too. Leave the "all communists are tankie fascists" idea at home please. It only makes you look ignorant and a bad representative for our nice little country.

Please never defederate commies! It's hilarious! 😆

I have to admit, their propaganda game is on point

[–] dartos@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It def adds some flavor to the social media political scene

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Quite refreshing to see extreme right-wing fuming over actual extreme left-wing, instead of the moderate left-wing they are used to.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

You mean neoliberals? Those are center-right to right wing. Just because you're to the left of fascism doesn't mean you're left of center.

The pig should shut up. It's time to wake up the sheep.

I love to start the day with a little bit of revolution and freshly smoked bacon.

[–] ciko22i3@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Urist@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

I smell smoke, but do I smell bacon?

I'm south african. My government has the means of production for electricity seized (they own Eskom which has a monopoly.) It is well known that while the regular person has to deal with load shedding, the government officials do not

Add the issues with South African Airways and I would not like all the means of production to be owned by the government

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trust me, you don't want those amenities in the hands of unelected greedy business men either.

Load shedding is still better than not having any electricity at all because it isn't profitable enough to manage the power net in your region.

[–] original_ish_name@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

At least the greedy business men have a business to run. The politicians just get bailed out and spend it on luxury cars

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

should be owned by the people

[–] original_ish_name@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I trust those people even less

Every day since the 19th century...any day now

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty hilarious to see a guy from a capitalist shithole that's tearing itself apart acting all smug. Never gets old.

[–] bernieecclestoned@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (31 children)

As hilarious as seeing a guy from a capitalist country fantasising over a fake communist country

Reminds me of animal farm

[–] rk96@lemmy.one -3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Is this a memes community? Or a soviet shit hole? I escaped reddit because it was shit and the ultra gatekeeping communists shitfaces, I hate to leave lemmy because of this as well, not many capitalists around this site -_-

[–] read_deleuze@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm deeply sorry that we don't like supporting the oppression of marginalized groups here

[–] rk96@lemmy.one -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, as if communism doesnt support opressing literally everyone, you western "communists" are really special aren't ya?

[–] read_deleuze@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Love how you just assume I'm from the west. I'm eastern european, my family is also, and we lived through everything - and I've yet to meet someone other than western investors and young kids who thinks things are good/better now

[–] Commiunism@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm genuinely curious - what do you think communism is? There's been a lot of definitions over the years and a lot of confusion over the subject, so I'm really interested to hear what do people such as yourself think communism really is that makes them hostile to the idea.

[–] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Myself? I like the dictionary definition of communism.

I'm short, worker enfranchisement and abolition of the commodity form.

Edit: Look at the definitely intellectually honest morons downvoting the dictionary definition of communism.
