I love baking biscuits but is a good gateway to moving to baking bread… and space cake.

Counter: Bars should have taxes lifted on the first round of beverages purchased in bars. And increased taxes for alcohol purchased in shops. And maximum music dB enforced.

In the current time of AI, music by bands should be required.

Social drinking should be promoted to counter loneliness.

Nice try Peter Thiel you ain’t getting my birth year that easily.

This is news to me that the meat industry isn’t already owned by billionaires.

Classic Stazi - yes any form of criticism of Marx’s socialism must be stamped out and silenced

Thanks yes this seems to be a mistake, reading more into history I’ve even found that the push for better working conditions has come from elected social democrats and political union parties (1906 in the Netherlands) long before the Russian revolution.

Sorry I should have used effectively, being ideological about democratic centralism is nice until you find yourself organising a workers demonstration against one.

Every single piece of information Marx Lenin Mao Stalin points to: the replacement of power of any method a worker has, in a capitalist democracy and migrate it after the revolution to a state held apparatus above which the flawed democratic-centralism takes grasp to hold absolute power. At which point strengthening a secret police is all that’s needed to let fascism in from the back door. At least Mussolini stated his intentions from the beginning.

The whole mass of the people must take part in it. Otherwise, socialism will be decreed from behind a few official desks by a dozen intellectuals.

Classic Marxist Leninist.

workers ownership of the means of production

Great lets try that out; how much ownership do you think a worker has over the means of production, without the ability to choose a union not pre-appointed by the state?

Communism (not DemSoc) is an economic system where a government essentially owns the population ruled by an autocrat, under the veil of a single union. The ML way of democratic centralism completely fails when the opposition is blocked from voting which assures total enforced hegemony.

Independent unions are illegal in China with only the All-China Federation of Trade Unions(ACFTU) permitted by the Chinese state and the Chinese Communist Party to operate.

This doesn’t sound like a good idea.

In bad faith would be acting as if I was a Communist and then twisting the argument to undermine ML

As a user with a red rose as icon and not of a *.ml server it is on you for assuming that I am a ML.

On the other hand I find it to be bad faith to follow Russian oligarch news networks then call oneself a Communist or use the atrocities of west to bothsides or even dismiss those of countries donning the hammer and sickle.

To interject I’m really enjoying this conversation with you we’re mostly keeping things civil

While I obviously don’t have much knowledge on American history I can tell that an American ML’s opinion on even the word defence has other connotations to it.

On the other hand using said trauma as justification that military defence can not exist in other countries is an overreaction.

Yes that’s what happens when you have opinions that aren’t based directly off of one person.

Never!
