The Struggle Is Real

This is me and my dad so much.

Last year he was complaining about how the owner of the company he works for is retiring and giving the company to his son who doesn’t know anything about the business.

We talked about how the workers could all own a portion of the company and run it themselves.

He agreed that’s how it should work.

But socialism is bad… 🤦‍♂️

For real, especially trying to get across Lenin's analysis of Imperialism, or the necessity of Revolution, both of which are far touchier subjects than "Marx good" on the Fediverse.

Marx has been blunted and made tame and by those who haven't read him.

this is a really good thread on the subject https://xcancel.com/existentialcoms/status/1248728086834601984
- Excellent thread. Even suggesting Lenin has good ideas can get you immediate ire, because what he wrote is accurate and practicible.
- Wish the brigaders would read that thread
- Chuds, libs and ultras are furious in that thread.

You might say they have "Turned Marx Into A Common Liberal"

me describing democracy

Literally Communism

Actually its prob like only one or two laser lines you can casually step over.

But the are super sensitive & triggery.

All the "isms" and the "ocracys" are fine except for one small point... none of them work.

You have a cabal of elites who say they are improving the lives of the working class while executing any workers who disagree with them

I see you've described capitalism.
- I was talking about Boeing, but I accidentally described communism ¯(ツ)_/¯

I love when people describe a system better than capitalism when trying to make communism look bad.
Communism allows everyone to pretend to have free stuff by declaring those that actually make it less than human
I know you've been banned (not unreasonably so) and can't respond, but if you truly believe what you wrote above, you owe it to yourself to find out how you've been lied to. Communism at its most fundamental core is about alleviating the exploitation done to "those that actually make it" (workers). Communism elevates everyone to personhood, as opposed to capitalism that only does so for the ownership class.
