You think Russia is communist?
You think Russia is communist?
It is. Did that when this was first announced
Or if they do, it’s not the full article. Which I get, them being in the business of selling ads and all.
What kind of salt?
You never changed your mind because of something you read online?
I’m no communist, but your argument is flawed.
Linus is not representative of the Linux community and I think the famous Stallman rant regarding GNU/Linux is actually relevant here.
The free software movement is certainly pretty left leaning, though I wouldn’t call them communist.
The issue is who decides what kind of behaviour deserves that kind of treatment.
It inevitably ends up harming the wrong people in the end.
I can understand the sentiment though.
More because it would have entailed quite the logistical conundrum as it’s a bit difficult to run a country when most of its citizens are dead.
They do and the German chancellor is also not as important as the American president.
Theoretically, the Chinese parliament is also the actual governing body, but with its size and sporadic meetings that’s pretty questionable.
Oh, going by the actual definition of fascism and calling fans of Mussolini fascist? How very fascist of you!
Yeah, that’s where the left-right concept kinda breaks down.
It feels wrong to say the USSR wasn’t left when you consider the many left policies they had and of course their origin.
I also agree with your idea of what left-wing should mean. I guess there’s no way to avoid complexity with topics like this.
We have an old saying in Germany, from the times of the Weimar Republic’s communists, which roughly translates to:
“Who has betrayed us? The Social Democrats”
It rhymes in German.
Oh, Lemmy has fascists now.
The left wing was cutting public services, right. Famous left wing policy. I think you’re thinking of liberals.
You’re free to be super duper racist, sexist, ableist, pretty much any kind of discrimination you want. Isn’t that enough?
So people should protest somewhere where nobody notices? Preferably quietly?
That’s not how protests work.
I don’t know. I remember when people changed the color of their twitter profiles and ended racism.
Good memories. Those were real protesters! They just quietly and politely asked for acknowledgement of their humanity, as one should.
Nowadays who knows what people are capable of. I’ve heard somebody threw paint on the glass in front of some painting!
These people should get shot for advocating such horrible violence.
