They pressed the communism button in Catalonia and it worked great. Only problem is it was the middle of the Spanish Civil War, and they got betrayed by their allies.

Anarchist communism has 65,000 years of proven success. Vanguard socialism hasn't worked once. Russia failed, it's capitalist. China is failing, it's capitalist. North Korea is failing, it's feudalist. Those failures aren't because they got couped by the CIA or conquered in a war, these are internal flaws to the political system of state "socialism". The idea that you can slowly reform an authoritarian state into communism was always a fantasy, it never happened once.

Anyway, Piefed has karma. Like Reddit. It's just karma. If you wanna call karma a social credit system, go ahead, but it does seem disingenuous to not explain what you mean by it.

As a piefed admin, I see a little red warning sign next to Sxan, the thorn person. Because they have low karma. When I see it, I chortle and then read what innocuous comment with a thorn has got people downvoting this time. It's just a warning that they have low karma, it doesn't do anything.
