Linux, reddit bad, socialism and star trek are alright. The bean thing I don't get. Never am I gonna spend energy learning about it either.

I mean, Linux (and the entire ecosystem) is a fundamentally socialist concept.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (10 children)

I would say GNU is one that's openly socialist. If Linux's (or rather, Linus Torvald's) philosophy is socialist, they either do a very good job of hiding the fact or there is a lot I don't know about them.

Linux, as a tool explictly designed to empower the masses, is socialist.

This is only partially a joke.

I realize we’re inherently not capitalistic platform because everyone has the access to own their portion. Pretty cool imo and not to toot the horn for the millionth time, it definitely seems like the future of the internet

My partner has been insinuating that I'm a communist recently. I don't think I'm a communist, I simply want to seize the means of production for the people.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't that make you a communist?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago

You sound just like my partner.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

Don't forget to seize the means of computation to stop enshittification.

What's wrong with socialism? I like socialism.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 months ago (19 children)

I want to seize the means of production as much as the next guy but it gets kinda boring after a while if that's the only content available

I just hate how it is vilified when we literally freely give billions in taxpayer monies to oil companies.

Though half of it is complaining about capitalism.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Half socialism, half complaining about capitalism, half linux, and half startrek memes.

Although, now that I think about it, the linux and startrek halves are often just a part of the socialism half.

So, I guess the original point stands. Socialism all the way down.

you know I do wonder if, out there, all those right-wing instances that we're de-federated with are sharing this same meme but in reverse...

It hasn't really been my experience here. Yeah there is some.

Have you tried being less aimless at what you subscribe here? Do you come here because you want to connect with information, or just mindlessly doom scroll and consume?

If you're not intentional about your social media tools, you will have a bad time.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago (39 children)

Lemmy.world is defederated from the major Marxist instances, so that filters out a lot of discussion about Socialism.

Uh...Political Memes on .world is not socialist. Much more of a, "vote blue, no matter who," and, "but her emails," vibe over there.

Political Memes is socialist?

I literally blocked it because it's just liberals pretending to be socialist.
