OK well fuck you fascist. Psychopath.

Again with the stats. I know people are poor and are suffering in Romania but stats are not showing the real every day life of people.

No but it hurts me that you’d rather have me die than listen to my needs and allow me to be the way I am.

I don’t care how it was for you in the USSR. For me and my family in Romania it was the worst thing. It’s not much better now but at least we’re not afraid to speak against the state and we can quit our jobs.

If you don’t care about freedrom that’s your prerogative. I wanna be free.

It seems to me that it’s better to accept the fact that human organizations tend to form into hierarchies and to create clear rules about responsibilities of individuals in positions of power as well how these individuals should be recalled when they transgress.

I dunno, if that’s the case then I don’t wanna live in this world any more and I’ll just kill myself. I don’t agree with doing things this way and I never will. I guess I’m just not made for this society and the society can fuck off.

And to clarify, I’m all for taking the means of production, but only as long as it doesn’t turn authoritarian. And a state + hierarchies will always lead to that. Unless you aim for the same as I say, you aim to enslave me, just in a different system.

IT’s the same from the POV of the average person. They slave away their entire lives for no reason other than making some numbers go up. Whether it’s the company’s stock price or the state’s production and exports, it’s the same shit for the average joe.

And growing up in a place like that, I can tell you it was horrible. People being afraid of speaking against the state for fear of being sent to work camps, people never having the option to just quit their job…

How is that freedom? Honestly, it’s better in this system now because if you have some money you can take breaks sometimes. You couldn’t do that in my country under the old regime. If the old regime comes back i’ll just kill myself.

Fighting capitalism by putting in state capitalism? That’s the dumbest take I’ve ever seen.

Thanks for being a sane person among all these slave wannabes.

That’s because you are stupid or a psychopath.

How am I wrong?

I don’t care. Making fun of people suffering is never ok. The people that do that are the same ones that are ok with sending people to gulags and concetration camps. A revolution done by people like that will not be communist, it will be like all the other “communist” states we had so far - authoritarian and state capitalist.

Nah man. Every time I talk on a lemmygrad post or see one of their posts I get bad vibes.

I once said that maybe it’s not nice to make fun of soldiers with PTSD and so many came to tell me how they deserve it because they’re scumbags and how they’re happy to see veterans suffer.

Tankies scare the fuck out of me. It makes me feel like there’s no escape from authoritarians, no matter what I do. I feel like I have to choose between a capitalist dystopia and “communist” authoritarianism.

Meh, who goes on lemmygrad? It’s full of hateful tankies.

Gig work is very anti worker and most deliveries are done gig style nowadays (like uber eats).

I stopped ordering altogether because I don’t want to support the gig economy and the quality of the service has gone down since all these gig apps started taking over.

When I don’t have food and I need something to eat I’ll just make a sandwich or a snack pot or something.

I do order pickup though and I try to support non-chain restaurants, but I do get mcdonalds and other stuff sometimes.

I also wanna do that. We should team up and do it! At least parts of it, anything that’s feasible.

Teaching (math, physics or programming), fixing electronics, programming stuff that nobody wants, making computer games (that some might wanna play), cleaning the environment, cleaning my neighborhood.

This is demonstrably not how communist states work.

No, they worked like it would work if capitalism went far enough and only 1 company survived: they end up deciding everything in the country and, yes, that means a lot of social programs for the drones/workers because that’s what keeps the company alive.

And just because you call something a name, it won’t mean it’s true. Communist state is a bit of an oxymoron. Communism works towards the abolishment of the state. None of the so called communist regimes seemed to have any inclination to do that in the long run.

People absolutely owned the means of production and they were directed towards the needs of the population. That’s why people in USSR had guaranteed housing, food, healthcare, education, jobs, and so on.

Having guaranteed housing is not the same as having the means of production at your disposal so that you can make your own house if you want. It also doesn’t mean you get to decide anything about how resources are distributed or how they are used.

I also don’t know what this “ruling class” you refer to is. Look up on the backgrounds of any leaders in USSR. They all come from regular working class families.

I know that ruling class very well. Yes, they are from working families but they are mostly psychopaths that were in those leadership positions because it gave them power. The same assholes are still in power in most post soviet countries, including the one I grew up in.

Well we should just stop using gas anyway, no? Why are we continuing with this insanity when the world is literally burning?
