    Common refrain from capitalism fans is that communism can never work because humans are inherently selfish/greedy as proven by their observation that humans are selfish and greedy in the system that rewards selfishness and greed.

    OP is selfish and can't imagine why people would want to be nice to one another.

    I think you need to go to HR for an hour long meeting about what jokes are.

    I guess it gets understood a little different when it is not posted in explicitly communist spaces :/

    even so. it isn't a joke and more a reflection of what you think. at least that what it sounds like. don't blame the audience for the way your joke is interpreted

    I just don't get how saying a statement you believe is wrong without any indication of it as a joke.

    Seems more reminiscent to people who say something shitty, then when they get complaints say "it was a joke, bro".

    And I personally have no patience for that. Also, there is no punchline, it is just a BS quote.

    You can't just say something with no tone indicator (I do not mean "/s", I mean any indication that it is sarcasm LiKe ThIs, or a clear exaggeration, or an obvious reference....)

    I can't just say "Socialism is wrong because people are cunts." and be like, it is clearly sarcasm. that is at best being a Schrodinger's asshole.

    You are on a meme board. Sarcasm and jokes should be your default assumption.

    my rule of thumb, if that meme can be posted on a maga site and they will take it as genuine, then it's either shitty sarcasm, or not sarcasm

    Friend, have you ever heard about irony?

    yhea, unless otherwise indicated, irony vanishes in text format

    I don't know if I agree. Poe's law aside, we're talking about this in a memes community, which means a lot of what is said here is tongue-in-cheek. Context matters, right?
