The Dredge Tank

socialism and communism are merely forms of feudalism

I wish I could be this stupid. Not have to read, not have to care, just make up whatever on the spot and be convinced I'm right.

Just astounds me that people can say stuff like "socialism is a form of feudalism" and think of themselves as clever, intelligent people. I've read like 3 actual theory books total and feel like a worm who failed kindergarten because of it

ah yes, the dastardly tankies of lemmy are coming after trans people! Do not look at how many users on Hexbear are trans! Do not believe your lying eyes!

Not to be too sectarian but left-wing politics on mastodon is totally dominated by Epic Western Tech Job Anarchists who think China is doing a colonialism on Hong Kong. But it isn't Orientialist to hold this view because all states are invalid and people should be free of them. Why do they focus on this particular example? A mystery.

"Lemmy made by tankies" has been going on since forever. There is a popular mastodon account called feditips that lambasted Lemmy because dessalines "denies" uyghur genocide.

"Communism is a form of Feudalism" certainly is a take

People like that kept me a very confused radlib for a long time.

"actually, when capitalism kills people, it's feudalism that kills people, and feudalism is just a form of communism"

wow super informed person right here

because feudalism, a system where all land is privately owned by the wealthy and the rest of society works to pay rent to landlords is a form of communism. it's nothing like capitalism.

Moments like these make me realize how many “intellectuals” are actually dumbasses

Lmao the last one would be peak comedy if only it wasn't said completely seriously. Also I have decided that I won't read history and theory any more, it turns out you can just make that stuff up as you like depending on the circumstance, that is much easier

BrooklynMan used to post on lemmy.ml also. Incredibly annoying dweeb.

Love to put a #hashtag on every #noun in the #sentence

The unthreaded broadcast microblog format that Mastodon copied from Twitter inevitably leads to the worst possible takes rising to the surface.

I hope Elon destroys Twitter so completely that it somehow destroys Mastodon and Bluesky too.

There's always some kneejerk fool with poor reading comprehension and a complete lack of knowledge of #PoliticalEconomy and #PoliticalScience who thinks that being anti-socialism is automagically "right wing". #Socialism is a right wing philosophy, it, like #Fascism, is a sub-category of #Feudalism. If you don't understand why, then you don't understand what "left" and "right" mean, in political theory, and you have no business being in my mentions.

The only differences between #Socialism, #Fascism, and classical #Feudalism are the name we give to the ruling class and the means by which membership in that class is determined. This is not difficult to figure out. It all, always, goes back to the land. Who owns Nature? The State, the Party, the Volk, the Gentry, the Peerage. Membership by "merit", by "genetic heritage", or by "inheritance". Different names for the same #privileges.

Absolute banger takes from that account https://mstdn.plus/@gcvsa/113001895475656803

I remember BrooklynMan. The guy is such a turbolib.

I have never once brigaded because I will never expose myself to lib brainrot that I can get anywhere else on the web. I'm sure that's true of most hexbear users.

Im on kolektiva, which is an OK anarchist-heavy instance. The federated home page (popular posts from all federated instances) is at least half lib drivel every day. I havent really used it much since i started hexbearing

It drives the tankies batshit crazy when we point out the death toll caused by Marxism and Maoism.

#socialism and #communism are merely forms of feudalism

What a novel new kind of material analysis...

I think what that genius means is that if the poors are visible, it's like feudalism. A gentrified "prestige city" that has pretentiously minimalist Steve Jobs temples everywhere with impossibly high rents is the real "left" because the only visible peasants are the derelicts rounded up by the cops regularly.

What's with all the le epic hashtagging? Some Twitter shit?

I'd find that alone worthy of the Drej Tank.

Its kinda true about Lemmy.ml being shit for trans people its why they should come here
