      I love when people describe a system better than capitalism when trying to make communism look bad.

    All the “isms” and the “ocracys” are fine except for one small point… none of them work.

    This is me and my dad so much.

    Last year he was complaining about how the owner of the company he works for is retiring and giving the company to his son who doesn’t know anything about the business.

    We talked about how the workers could all own a portion of the company and run it themselves.

    He agreed that’s how it should work.

    But socialism is bad… 🤦‍♂️

    You have a cabal of elites who say they are improving the lives of the working class while executing any workers who disagree with them

      I’ve learned to call it socialized capitalism when I talk to older generations, and I’m pretty old. I find it an easier pill for them to swallow. We have to remember that the baby boomers were children in the middle of the red scare, that shit got internalized deep. It’s almost like they’re traumatized.

    For real, especially trying to get across Lenin’s analysis of Imperialism, or the necessity of Revolution, both of which are far touchier subjects than “Marx good” on the Fediverse.

    Marx has been blunted and made tame and by those who haven’t read him.
