because seven ate nine through twenty-three

wait so the people doing the work don’t get paid and the people who get paid steal from others?

that is just so uncharacteristic of capitalism, what a surprise

i don’t see the problem? just keep killing whoever is in charge until nobody tries anymore. permenent revolution.

btw, your definition of fascism would also fit like pretty much all nations, and your definition of anarchism is like someone knew a bit of greek and tried to guess. an-archy, against heirarchy, boom done!

capitalism is when people are prejudiced against money and freedom is when you don’t have to pay at the BDSM club

you can get a raspberry pi and install something called pihole on it, it’s a DNS server with ad-blocking. basically, it converts a domain name like example.com into an IP address, but rather than just faithfully supply DNS, it also effectively blocks some adverts by acting like the domain names don’t exist for servers that run ads

once it’s set up it’ll just work, and it should protect everyone on your network/wifi from some ads

i’ve put way more thought into it than you have, considering you were calling me a fascist before and now you’re ridiculing me for being an anarchist

if you can describe fascism and anarchism in your own words i’ll delete my account

Yes. I’d highly recommend checking out the 5-4 Podcast episode about Citizen’s United

of course there would, there would be approximately 8 billion people still alive

there would be no power vacuum because there would be no power - all forms of power that might have been siezed in a power struggle would have been dissolved

the result would be a classless, moneyless, stateless society. Each of us would only need to work approximately 10 hours per day or so to ensure that everyone in the world has all of their needs met and a decent standard of living.

the society we currently have is based on slavery, exploitation, murder and theft. i’m not saying that i have a perfect solution, but we need to abolish capitalism at the very least, or fascism will remain inevitable

we’re never going to see an end to the risk of fascism until we end capitalism, and it’s as simple as that.

money is power, and if corporations and individuals can hoard wealth infinitely, it’s only a matter of time until enough of that wealth is accumulated in few enough hands for those few to use their wealth to take control of the state

crypto doesnt help, because all of the crypto coins can easily be captured and influenced by big tech. most of them are also super heavily reliant on US tech

looking for a technological solution to a systemic problem is a bad idea really

if you really want to change things, we need to end capitalism

you’re not powerless, far from it - but you need to exert your power before 2026 and 2028 if you want your vote to matter.

your power comes from your ability to go on strike and sabotage, not from voting

i wouldn’t be trying to will socialism into existence, though, i’d just be having a little fun :3

i believe all states are evil, to be honest!

some are just actively persuing evil stuff more than others

but given half a chance, capitalists in any country would turn to fascism

ah don’t worry about that, lots of it is online now :3

thank you for the explanation, it was really interesting and in-depth! you should be a teacher!

i would completely dismantle the economy, the police force, the military, prisons, and the government. i would cease the recognition of all countries and borders.

but yes you’re right, i’m willing to use violence to make the world a better place, because i believe that i’m right, and i’m not scared of sacrificing all that i have and all that i am to achieve that.

i wouldn’t be able to peacefully retire, of course, i would need to be brought to justice for my crimes, but i would gladly accept the punishment, because it’s the right thing to do, and i know i would reduce the suffering of billions.

oh wow, i didn’t realize that, i thought it was infinitely reusable just by melting and re-forming it. thank you really much for the explanation.

what you wrote reminded me of silly putty, it’s really stretchy and elastic to start with, but if you play with it for a while, it starts to be less elastic and breaks apart.

does metal also break down? i’m thinking about like aluminium cans that are used for soda and stuff like that

i still think you’re assuming what my actual, real-life views are from a silly what-if scenario! i am never gonna be in control of anything more powerful than a barbeque.

but if somehow i got to mind control the president or something, yes, i’d take advantage of that brief control to eliminate as many capitalists as possible

i’m not going to get into a debate about it, because i have better things to do, sorry.

i would agree that the USSR was socialist, but very quickly stopped being so, and now it is capitalist. that’s not what i call a success.

permenent? can’t plastic get melted down and recycled again?

once i put some plastic container in the dishwasher and it got too hot, it kind of melted a bit. it didn’t totally melt but the lid doesn’t fit anymore.

i dunno if it was injection molded though

any marxist who thinks that the USSR or China is an example of a successful revolution is either ignorant, delusional, or worst of all, a tankie.

they had some early successes but were immediately co-opted. motherfuckers need to learn about permenent revolution.

now neither country is socialist, both are imperialist and well on their way towards fascism
