I’m starting to think they “identify” as socialists 🤭

@basilfawlty89 Why bother doing anything if there is no reward for work

@sunsporter1649 except there literally is. Instead of wage slavery, workers collectively own and manage the business, hence they get the profits from sales.

@basilfawlty89 Just like the workers paradise of cuba, where folks are driving around in 1957 Fords, when they can get ahold of one

@basilfawlty89 what would be the incentive for someone to be a doctor or a nurse? Why would someone go into that kind of debt to make the same amount as everyone else

Socialism doesn’t work because there is always a deficit

Government knows this. this is their way that they manipulate the masses into accepting communism. This is what happened to China USSR and Venezuela.

This is why it’s so important to know history

@DeluxedEdition you literally didn't look at a word I said. Marxism isn't the only form of socialism. Socialism has nothing to do with government ownership.

There are literally worker's cooperatives successfully working and the workers are happier, have more benefits and high standard of living. But go off, I guess.

@basilfawlty89 Name a few?

@DeluxedEdition there you go

Have fun.

@DeluxedEdition Yeah, you really don't want to go down that road. Co-ops are objectively more successful than capitalist companies.

@DeluxedEdition lol for now. Let me know how those sales are going with tariffs killing everything from farmers to multinational corporations.

@basilfawlty89
I think the misunderstanding here is I am criticizing Marxism

I read the article. I did not know that dynamic even existed. That’s pretty awesome 👏

@BohemianBabe hmmmm they might be

I’m curious now

@basilfawlty89 prices are fine here I even started shopping full time at the organic store 😂

@DeluxedEdition again. Trump's tariffs won't help the average American. And his policies are every bit as authoritarian as the USSR. It's one thing to be against cartels. I'm half Mexican, we hate cartels. It's another to call every Latino a cartel member and deport us for being brown (which is ironically due to predominantly Native American ancestry).

@basilfawlty89 that’s why Americans needs to stop being democrat and republican and invest In the other partisans

Republicans too far is oligarchy

Democrats too far is communism

@DeluxedEdition also not what Communism is.


Communism refers to a stateless, classless society where everyone works according to their ability and receives according to their need.

The USSR was neither socialist or communist. Their goal was ostensibly socialism. But it wasn't either.

@basilfawlty89 It also failed

@sunsporter1649 it didn't. See above link and consult someone on Lewy Bodies

@DeluxedEdition
The problem is that the way our system is set up, third parties don't stand a chance in actual elections. We need to have rank-choice voting in order to give third parties a shot.


How exactly? Communism is stateless and classless. How have the Democrats tried to disband the government?

@BohemianBabe communism sounds good on paper but communism isn’t how it’s definition is portrayed

@DeluxedEdition I'm not a Communist, I'm just saying the Democrats definitely aren't Communists either. The Democrats are centrist Liberals.
