Conservatives want to bring us back to the first one, because "it's naive childishness to even pretend people could be equal".
Both liberal and conservatives benefit from inequality. Conservatives are just more vocal about it.
I appreciate the effort, but it is unrealistic to expect an old tree to straighten.
A better illustration:
Inclusion at the end is fucking stupid. A baseball game where random people are playing is not the same thing as a pro game people are watching. Someone who has one arm trying to hit a major league pitch is going to be completely destroyed and it won't be fun for anyone. This naive and stupid understanding of inclusion is what makes random morons think they're experts on vaccines despit what the elite scientists think because they watched a video on YouTube. Not everyone can do everything, and they shouldn't be expected to. People have different skills and strengths and the rest of the meme acknowledges that and then at the end it just becomes completely stupid. You can even tell that some moron, probably an HR drone, tacked this on at the end and probably felt smug about going above and beyond the original comic without actually understanding what it was saying.
Why does the right-wing kid not just come over to the left-wing?
Blue shirt keeps doing sus hand gesture in every panel idk if we should let him have any apples
Little dude just trying to reach his apples 🤣
He is struggling to reach them. You can learn more from his book "My Struggle". Once a best-seller in Germany
Communism will never exist ,it's utopia ,it becoming authoritarianism very quickly.We need other real alternatives to what we have now
Often repeated, but never much nuance or substance.
Marxism is anti-utopian, it's based on analyzing how societies evolve over time. What is deemed "authoritarianism" is the need for the proletariat to exert its control over the bourgeoisie, rather than the reverse, yet bourgeois rule is more authoritarian.
I recommend you don't get your information about communism solely from devout anti-communists
I lived in post sovier counties with USSR time ages,so I know pretty well what it was actually.It's awful and never should happen again,but I didn't say that I like capitalism too they both authoritarianism in extreme limits
This echoes my concerns every time someone (especially under the age of about 40, especially American) praises "communism" (as if it were one thing) with some kind of absolute adoration.
In this case, OP: how did that justice work for the political dissidents sent to gulags?
The vast majority of people sent to prison by the soviets were criminals, thieves, murderers, rapists, etc. The political prisoners were largely members of the White Army, fascists, monarchists, or were active terrorists against society. For a country that went through a revolution, resistance from the older owning classes is expected, other revolutions were similar in use of force against the monarchy and other ruling classes.
system of government and system of economy are two different things though. They influence each other, but communism isn't and wasn't causing authoritarianism. You can get authoritarianism in every type of economy, as well as you can have communism combined with every type of government.
This isn't quite correct. Governance and economy are too interlinked to be considered distinct, systems aren't recipes picked out on a page but a material, physical thing. Further, "authoritarianism" isn't really a thing in and of itself, it just describes the phenomenon where one class oppresses others. In Socialism, the proletariat oppresses the bourgeousie, in Capitalism the bourgeoisie oppresses the proletariat.
Why is there a question mark on 'equality'?
I am assuming that it is because people see "equality" as the epitome of human fairness, so it is questioning that.
