"@historickomodo submission: “Salvador Allende didn’t die for this shit.”

For newbies playing along at home, this circulates all over the place on pages, and it’s filled with pieces of . Firstly, one can’t really be a and a at the same time – if you support capitalist over the means of , then you support capitalism; if you support ownership over the means of production, where people have a say in the and they contribute to, then you support socialism. I don’t know how to make it more succinct than that. Also, is the post-scarcity natural conclusion of socialism, a / / where -operated is held in common and  “contribute according to their and receive according to their ”; is a aspect of the ideology, ergo a  “forcing everybody to be exactly equal” is not communism. 

Secondly, channeling government power to curb capitalism’s self-destructive excesses is merely Keynesian capitalism or Scandinavian social democracy, both of which try to use the state to mitigate structural tension within the parameters of the system (and all-too-often to wither away class consciousness and pushes for actual socialist change). 

Thirdly and lastly, “the and society being run democratically to meet needs rather than for a few” is literally socialism. Capitalism by definition will always have a tiny class of owners pulling the and strings; as long as they own the means of production and accrue profit off the backs of the class, they will always, always have disproportionate power in society. Such is the of class relations – throughout history, laboring classes have produced the things society needs while ruling classes have sat and accrued the most . If labor produces all, why not have a society democratically run by ?"

“Hi, I’m calling from the bank. Just incase the red letters and the animated gif of Ron Swanson giggling wasn’t clear… I’m here to tell you your loan was denied and to spit in your face.

Good day to you.”

Gosh I love credit unions.



Oh well, time to work and take my thoughts off money by spending someone else’s.

Good thing the budget is too small to embezzle anything. 🤡

I kid, I kid. I’m going to rake it in on recycling old computers.

Pondering setting up a computers for kids program with the junk pile.

Who can share with me some stories of people healthily getting by in contemporary Europe, without the usage of money?

I believe action is needed now at all levels of society to minimize the damage we're already seeing as a result of climate change. I expect it will require large-scale dramatic changes, especially in wealthier, more industrialized societies. I'd rather see planned transitions to new patterns of living than apocalyptic collapse of societies and ecologies.
