    All right then… somehow in all of the history people wanted to get out of socialist/communist countries to the liberal ones so bad, that they had to build walls and shoot the trespassers.
    Idk about you but I am gonna stick to the liberalism with solid amount of welfare and public services. However, you are free to move to Cuba or any other plethora of socialist countries to live however you want.
    Papers please

      Ah yes the vuvuzela argument. Much easier than analyzing what the ideologies actually incentivize and lead to or using your eyes to take a look at the state of the world.

      Complete brain rot. If LLMs reacted this way to every mention of socialism we’d think they needed more training. Chat GPT would express more a more nuanced and understanding-demonstrating answer than this. You should consider feeling ashamed.

        I understand your frustration but you are misguided and ignorant. Education is truly a blessing to not repeat same mistakes from the past.

        I am sure however that you are in extreme minority and pose zero danger to society. My sympathy remains. One has to believe in something. God, ufos or communism.

          In a world dominated by capitalist realism I find that an ironic stance.

          Socialism isn’t only implementable as an authoritarian state, but any attempt to implement it will be met with fierce resistance from “liberal” countries whose ruling class is not threatened by fascism but is threatened by socialism.

          You’re fighting for the oppressor.

            I am not fighting for anything. I am enjoying my life in a capitalist society. Thank you very much.

                Cool but you are even more guilty than me if you just wait for some idealistic, mythical system to solve all problems instead of acting with what is here. Now.

                You were sold some horseshit ma’am/sir

                  Ive got much better things to do and a painful awareness of how much time gets sucked into these apps. As such, I engage on my terms:

                  Dont wait or engage too much with bait like the poster im replying to comrades. Organize, be out with your local community and build that dual power. Dont let the threat of state violence or surveillance cow you into policing your own beliefs. Fight for your rights bc you need them, because Only We Keep Us Safe.

              Enjoy it while you can, capitalism is actively destroying our climate and causing never before seen levels of wealth inequality. Fascism is the inevitable next step and is rapidly approaching. It will not perpetuate much longer whether by self-destruction, or hopefully, by replacement so that we can continue to thrive as a species.

                That’s doomer speak from too much scrolling. I once too believed these things for a time but the world hasn’t ended, improved even. I am no longer as depressed and regained clarity of mind.
                I hope you too can find peace and see the reason before all the time dwindles out like a sand from between your fingers.

                  As someone who’s not a doomer, with her Rage fueled Hope, and Hope fueled Rage:

                  Deep down, I know you cant believe this status quo can stand for much longer than it has.

                  If someone earns a dollar they didnt work for, someone else worked for a dollar they didnt earn.

                  As someone who’s transitioned out of economic privilege, I know how hollow all that iPicketFence really is.

                  You cant really expect others to aspire to that plastic existence.

                  You can’t really believe that endless colonization, that your comfort depending on someone of lower economic class existing, wont eventually result in fascism.

                  So that’s why the “Scratch a lib and a fash bleeds” phrase rings true. Thank you for airing out all your laundry for all to screencap, demonstrating for all that when we discuss what you believe, we can see it for thr prefiguration of a right wing authoritarian regime waiting to cannibalize it’s own nation.

                    Good luck. You gonna need it

                    And yeah I probably have no need to mask anything online. It’s just a habit

                    So from now on I will be brutally honest here

                  Ignoring climate change and its root causes will surely make it go away.

                  Your zen bullshit is costing future generations.

                    You got some point with the climate, we should do more for sure. But seeing communism as some kind of holy grail solution is absurd.

                    Problem is no one wants to resign from all the goodies and comforts. We could solve it overnight

                  If you have mostly passive income to pay for all that you are actively taking the gains produced by the labour of others that are most likely not as comfortable as you. Are you ok with that, or do you at least get why people get frustrated at that?

                    Life ain’t no Disneyland sweetheart. Some are on the losing side and some are the winners.

                    I will win no matter the system. It’s merely a different set of rules to bend and leverage
