Cool

I'm going to check that, thanks.

I understand why people chose for the right, with an overload of fake information, fear mongering, populist politicians. The right is really good at using social media. So I understand why people fall for that shit. But after the right fucked everything up, how can you still support the right?

When you want a table, and a carpenter says "I can do that!" and you order a table, but it falls apart as soon as you get it. Why would you say "can I have another table, and add 4 chairs please!" when this so called carpenter clearly is a massive failure. Normally you'd get angry, ask a refund and go somewhere else.

I know it's not this simple, but at the same time... Come on, wtf...

The fact that obvious fear mongering bullshit and fake news has sufficient effect is a clear sign the education system is failing massively. Same goes for the extreme form of religions way too many people follow. My country has the lowest percentage of religious people of all countries while the average education level is high. And even here education is lacking. But the amount of young people following a religion is rising again, probably because education has been getting worse the past 20 years.

The minority government need to work together with either left or right, and some are blocking the left while on the right 3 parties are forcing a front: a right wing party, a right wing farmers party and a religious party. The last one will only work together if stricter abortion laws come. So either the government falls, the left somehow gets chosen anyway (hopefully) or we're getting more fucked by the right. And we're all getting fucked because of France, causing a massive economical crisis, while it also looks like the AI bubble might burst causing an economic crisis by itself. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck can we go back 30 years please! Back then we were able to all work together to fix the holes in the ozone layer, now we work together to all get fucked hard.

Sorry for my rant, it's all so overwhelmingly depressing. I didn't even talk about the wars and ride in world tension. Fuuuuck

Ah nice. I need new ones, the current ones aren't that tight anymore. Gonna buy new tight ones again, less chance of screaming shit machines.

Marxism-leninism ≠ communism

I never said it was.

In fact, Marxism and anarchism have more in common than Marxism and communism.

i’ll never understand this take. Socialism doesn’t work because of corruption and greediness so the best thing we can do is capitalism, which literally is based on corruption and greediness.

Ah, but I didn't say that. I said communism didn't work. I do think socialism works. Communism is just one form of socialism.

Indeed capitalism is a form of greed, that's also bad (way worse) and I'm against it. I'm all for socialism, just not communism the way we know it. Maybe communism 2.0 which would have to be made with protection against corruption and bad leaders. So far both capitalism and communism have (had) corruption and bad leaders.

I myself am an anarchist.

Most of human history before agriculture was lived under a system of primitive communism where resources were shared by the tribe with little to no hierarchy.

Yeah, but those were small and primitive settlements. We don't live in those times anymore, we don't have small settlements but large states with millions of people. We're not the dame as humans back then, so it's comparing apples and pears.

Communism so far only really worked in small communities where people lived by choice.

Look at the healthcare system of cuba

Yeah but at the same time LGBTQ were prosecuted, so it's healthcare is not for everyone.

or the rapid improvement of living conditions in the ussr after lenin took over.

Yet the system wasn't protected against someone like Stalin. And also under Lenin things were grim for many.

Again, the idea of communism is great, it just doesn't work in the form we've seen. So far the best form is (and I hate to say this) China I think, with a partially open market and the average lives improved significantly. But also China has a one party system with one leader with too much power who can stay in office as long as he wants, also known as a dictator. Next to that they have workers with 7 day work weeks and no holidays, concentration camps and an insane amount of corruption.

Coming back to Cuba, they are also not doing great.

Maybe Cambodia is an example of a functioning communist state, although the wealth gap there is also insane and they had a dictator not too long ago (Pol Pot) with a pretty severe genocide. And with the recent whistle blowers on Chinese scam centers in Cambodia and Myanmar (which got it's slave workers through Cambodia), also a vast network of corruption came to light reaching as far up as ministers. And also Cambodia isn't a proper communist state, even though they do identify as communist.

I wish there was a new version of communism in which there are protective measures against tyrant leaders and corruption.

After the fall of the USSR most states who became Independant kept the system of the USSR. They continued with corruption and a non-functioning system (as the vast network of the USSR wasn't there anymore). Estonia did not. They completely rewrote their entire system, switched to digital and became the world leader in cyber security and low running costs while having a properly functioning system. Maybe we could make a state built on that, but then out of communism?

But I prefer no states at all and anarchism.

Yup I'm sorry, you're right.

Country without borders - Only sometime who can't be invaded would say that buddy.

No no, I'm against countries in general. No countries means no borders anywhere. I think smaller communities with their own rules and laws are better than a giant landmass with rules and laws for everyone, based on what's best for the people living in the big city while the country is so much larger. If there are no countries, there are no wars between countries. No nations means no nationalism.

Only sometime who can't be invaded would say that buddy.

Everyone can be invaded these days. There's a war 2000km from here. It's in our backyard and soon we might be part of it.

Strong enforcement of Anti-trust laws. Higher tax for the rich. Start-up friendly environment.

And leaders, politicians and other figures with positions of power should be held responsible and reprehensible for lying and causing harm with their words, actions and policies.

People for positions of power should not want that position at all, and people who do want these positions should never hold any form of power.

Positions of power should have extensive medical, psychological and intellectual tests. Never one person should have total control, no single leaders.

I had 12 pulled in total (baby teeth and molars)

I agree, communism is a nice idea, but it doesn't work because it didn't factor in the greediness of people, so the system isn't protected against people abusing it. That's why most communist states were/are dictatorships with corruption and oligarchy. It only works if everyone wants it and no one abuses it. So it doesn't work on a large scale.

Imo the best we can get is capitalism but capped (so no billionaires, no monopoly companies etc.), combined with a shit ton of socialism. Everyone will benifit if we pull up the lowest part of society. A group is as fast as the slowest member. Let's just make sure everyone runs a bit faster, instead of just a few at the cost of the rest.

The best I want is anarchy. Fuck borders, states and world leaders, fuck hate and greed.

But most of all: Fuck fascism, that is the worst.
