Read this as veins and heart pump… I was concerned and intrigued

I’ve cried over historical figures and the tragedy I found in their story but never a modern person

I believe that we should treat most people as if they have free will but I don’t exactly believe in the idealistic notion of free will. I believe we can make choices, but I believe our choices are limited and shaped by our experiences.

I am really glad and very priveleged to have been diagnosed with ADHD. However, I worry that my official diagnoses might put me in danger soon

I think long term we could find a place for those who wish to live in a decentralized commune free of hierarchy. I understand that the centralized vision of communist human progress essentially requires hierarchy but I think we will progress to a point where that becomes undesirable for a large amount of people. Eventually we will reevaluate what it means to even progress.

I mean kind of yes but most people would not call them synonymous

Ok so lets say you get rid of the central authority in one fell swoop. What happens when the millions of people who really really benefitted from that authority or atleast believe themselves to benefit decide they want it back. Can a decentralized stateless society truly win political or military battles against them? I can tell you from history that everyone who has tried this eventually resorted to their own centralized authority in order to survive, failed, or both. Communist do not see centralized authority as good, we see it as a means to survive.

Thats so funny because you have it completely backwards. Communism, the end goal, is a moneyless, classless, stateless society in which hierarchy has ceased to exist. State socialism or “the dictatorship of the proletariat” is a interim step on the path to communism that aims to eliminate class and the social structures that perpetuate it.

I find it frustrating and annoying. I am willing to pay extra just to not do it

Cat decided to sneak in and lick my foot. Wasn’t expecting that so it made me tense up and I slammed my head into a wall hard enough that we had to stop

You have to curate your feed yourself. Personally I use the all feed and block what I don’t like because I enjoy seeing new communities. I also recommend the jerboa app if you have an android, its free, open-source, made by lemmy devs, and doesn’t have ads.

Also many of us are communists or anarchists so prepare for political takes you aren’t used to.

Build a garden if you can, join community efforts like mutual aid, and form or join a union. We are strongest together.

As a tool for reducing our societal need to do hard labor I think it is incredibly useful. As it is generally used in America I think it is an egregious from of creative theft that threatens to replace a large range of the working class in our nation.

Probably some of them but I don’t think the constitution really matters anymore.

This is exactly why I moved to mull. Now I’m moving back lmao

Sweet potato, black beans, and peanutbutter (not together lol)

State and revolution was the first real theory I read. Quite the introduction

Marx for sure. Gotta be the most misunderstood and purposefully distorted writer I have seen

Came because I liked open source software and hate corporations. Stayed because communism
