Scary Whitta @garywhitta· 1d:

Imagine if your printer was also your car. That's what owning a Tesla is like.

    It's ironic, isn't it. With the most common "criticism" of communism being that nobody will be able to have any personal belongings..

    As far as i know, communists want to share means of production (usually land and machines, anything you need to work other than your brain). That means you may have your own printer and car, as long as you pay for it with a well distributed salary.

    Eventually people will realize that there is no real difference between communism and capitalism, because both systems always end up with fascists in charge.

    The thing is, communism and capitalism are basically monetary systems. They aren't power systems. No matter how a country's finances are set up, there's always some assholes who eventually manage to claw their way to the top and get very rich off of their power, and bring everything crashing down because they will always want more.

    Will that really work in long term? More and more folks are entering gig economy where incomes aren't consistently stable and people have already started to subscribe for minimum time just to consume relevant content. Are they really banking on whales forgetting to unsubscribe?

    If you don't like it, stop heralding capitalism as the be-all of economic systems...

    Settle down. You're on Lemmy, know your audience.

    There isn't any irony. Whomever you were replying to has reading comprehension issues.

    OP says that we should renounce capitalism, and I said that's a silly statement since Lemmy unequivocally hates capitalism.

    Re-read again. Slowly this time. Then use brain. If you're experiencing the same result, try again but slower. Try sounding out the words.

    NOWHERE WAS I APPLAUDING CAPITALISM

    What are you talking about?? OP saying that we need to stop HeRalDing capitalism. Like we're not on Lemmy and that the overwhelming majority of us don't already profess to hate capitalism on a very regular basis.

    I don't know how you read that any other way, smh
