Imagine a kid at their first party wanting to appear cool and have those “teenage experiences”. Not knowing if they’ll have the chance to try edibles again.

Literally already have for the past couple years. The leader of their party is already on house arrest (technically) for stealing EU funds.

…. Yeah, state capitalism.

You’re not gonna tell me countries with billionaires, capital accumulation, market logic, are communist?

The main exception is north korea but that’s just a totalitarian planned economy.

Yeah it could have been a Rommel type situation.

Hhahahha I was about to post that

The github link tells me access denied

@ProtonPrivacy@lemmy.world is quite likely the official org

In all seriousness where I currently live all the small far left parties ally into a metaparty/alliance called “Together: The Left” so there’s no vote splitting and they have better chances and name recognition.

Ah yes, the only possible systems are Capitalism and the Soviet Union, which in practice was basically state Capitalism.

I think it’s also a bit of a thing where most people treat it like a binary.

They either think you have to go full on vegetarian or you eat meat.

When what we should really be encouraging most people to do is cut down on meat. (You’re gonna have a lot less sucess if you ask them to straight up stop).

yall seem to learn plenty about the glorious colonialists who brought civilisation (/s)

There is a thing where people take some things too personally. Like im usually quite cheery but i have health problems and when they flare i get a little grumpy and blunt. Not to the point im an asshole but you can tell my energy is different.

One person always thought i was mad at them 😭. Most people just know me and know its completely normal.

Basically when I stop masking ppl might see my energy shift.

I know this isn’t really relevant but how the hell do kids these days look so much older than they are. I would have guessed she might be 16 honestly.

Anyways, what a tradgedy.

“liberal” meaning left is a decent example as well.

Not forgetting there are certain disabilities where it is just impossible to work under capitalism and that’s okay. Not everyone has to work to be valuable.

I hate that “Libertarianism” in US-english means those “free” market dumbasses.

It actually meant anarchist (anti-capitalist) originally and was a euphemism for anarchist when it was banned to be one. It still means that in French generally.

Unsurprising. The “rights” of bank accounts come before the rights of people in switzerland.

“Sustainable Capitalism” , good Orwellian oxymoron!

Whats next, “Gentle Fascism”?
