  • Isn't 50501 mostly opposing GOP government while you want to create a new system, human rights for all, and direct democracy?

  • Trump has skipped almost all of his intelligence briefings

  • You could create a lemmy community for it with the first goal of finding the ones who spearhead it.

  • Tankies take a moment to engage in some North Korea propaganda. 'North Korea is a democracy'

  • They love authoritarianism

    The reddit lemmy situation shows that people don't make the right choices on their own, at least not without the right education.

    Which other options do communists have to change society?

  • Elon Musk is responsible for “killing the world’s poorest children,” says Bill Gates

    Jump

  • No need for envy. He owns enough farmland that he can easily top Musk by rising prices to let many more children starve to death.

  • JD Vance jokes about deporting tourists attending 2026 World Cup

  • Thanks again.

    they put absolutely minimal work into it

    I don't believe this. The small shareholders do, but not the ones who choose the board.

    The Waltons have to stay up to date unless they accept that Amazon takes over. Likewise, Bezos will work to keep his company in the lead.

    Bezos bought a big house in Washington, not Florida. He will be busy all day most of the days.

  • The Signal Clone the Trump Admin Uses Was Hacked | TeleMessage, a company that makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, was hacked.

  • Yet the highest office chose to use it anyway. Which is beyond stupid

    Or they don't care because that office is for show and they are kept out of the loop like Musk at SpaceX.

  • What if the president is not the top of the power pyramid but only there for distraction?

    Like any sin, the change starts with us. If we want a healthy social network, we can build a healthy social network.

  • Thanks for the insights. I thought it was only Stalin who decided to collectivice the farming.

    With stocks for instance the owners typically arent involved in the operation

    Those are not the real owners but people who rent money.

    There are always shareholders who control the board and who make the ultimate decisions. They decide when they want to meet but nevertheless I don't think that they do much more than managing their companies which includes networking. So even when they don't work, they will be 'on'. No pity, they are rewarded more than enough.

  • I should have looked it up before. I don't remember my original source.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Civil_War

    The red army had 6 million out of 280 million citizens of the USSR. So it's a bit more.

    and often the company does worse when the owners get involved

    How long do those companies exist? If owners just skim, I would expect most companies to dissolve sooner than later.

  • My point is that the Capitalists manage the rate at which workers learn about the left point of view so that the chance of them reaching a ctitical mass for change is very low.

  • It's definitely not a deliberate misunderstanding.

    consumerism is driven by a necessity for Capitalists to sell more commodities. It isn’t the choice of individuals, but the underlying Capitalist system

    Yes. By the same logic, Capitalists need consumers to stay calm and to not change the system.

    How can the Capitalist system be changed if people don't act on individual choices?

    Finally, Leftists do reach people, with action. It isn’t a “trap.”

    They reach some. Do they reach enough?

  • Which all go back to the white army losing.

    Yes, I mean the Tsarist army. But you are right, my knowledge of history is limited.

    Workers are consumers, they get their means to live through being paid wages.

    That's not what I mean with consumers. Consumers spend their money against their interest, to fulfill emotional needs that were highlighted by advertising. I don't think that I have mentioned advertising before, but I actually think that this type of advertising won't happen in a socialist country.

    When I say your point on TikTok is Idealist, I mean it in the philosophical way, in opposition to Materialism. Idealism is wrong, it’s the concept of thoughts and ideas being the primary mover, not material reality.

    I think that's also how I understood it.

    My point is that the mindset of people have changed and thoughts have become the primary movers.

    The reason I say yours is idealist is because you’ve invented a problem that doesn’t exist, tik tok does not change the material base, being workers who spend their wages on goods.

    Workers are not workers who rationally spend their money on products that have the most benefit to them. Those people are now consumers. They spend their money on stuff that is supposed to make them happy which induces the need to accept the current system. A revolution becomes a threat.

    The answers of the “bros” like government supplied girlfriends are not worth considering.

    But the motivations are. What do those people want and why do they prefer it over the offer from the left.

    but that screams that you haven’t ever engaged with Leftist theory. Knowing leftist theory leads to action, not inaction.

    Action means nothing if it doesn't reach people. As I said, truth becomes a trap if it leads to ineffective action.

  • The federal minimum wage is officially a poverty wage in 2025

  • Congratulations that you acknowledge that rising minimum wage is a dead end.
