In a slightly less clown shit world the government seizing Harvards patents would be a great thing.

Is love to sit one of these people down and explain to them what communism actually is

[-] godlessworm@hexbear.net 46 points 8 months ago

“communism is when the government and corporations team up to do a bad thing or bad stuff in general” -these ppl

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 27 points 8 months ago

These people occupy an entirely different plane of reality built on an entirely bullshit foundation such that it would take years of dedicated re-education to even begin to reach them.

They have less than zero understanding of what power is and how it works. Or how anything works really. They literally believe that by going into a special building and using the right words in the right order, they can cast a spell that stops the government from doing certain things. You can’t build an understanding of communism on top of that.

Excuse me i signed a petition and the President is shaking in his boots!

[-] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago

They think communism is when nobody has money and the government is like an aristocracy where government officials personally own everything

[-] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 8 months ago

Yeah basically. Poor and no iphone is communism. And since China isnt poor and makes all the iphones they cant be communist so they call it state capitalist instead. And the US is getting poorer so it must be becoming communist.

Also Fascism is when Trump, and the actual Fascist things the US does regardless of who is in charge are Crony Capitalism.

One time I asked my dad if he had an opinion on market socialism and when I assured him it wasn't what China was doing and it was instead a theoretical model with an implementation in Vietnam he never once bothered to even look up the Wikipedia article and never brought up the subject again.

finishes explaining

Lib: "I'm glad you're so idealistic, but we live in the real world and need to pursue gradual change through the correct channels. Your utopia can't exist because muh human nature."

[-] miz@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

I think it'd be a lot more amusing for them to have to explain what they think it is

[-] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 43 points 8 months ago

Don’t think about the fact that if Trump can do whatever he wants then the Dems have been lying to you about universal healthcare this whole time.

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 8 months ago

Libs got so many ~~reasons~~ excuses for why dems never actually use power

it's about the principle not ability, that'd make them a dictator

oh it'd just be overturned by the courts! - this one really funny cause it was someone who was arguing senate couldn't change their own rules regarding the filibuster.

we can't stoop to their level to help citizens, only for things like wars and military funding... Or making lives worse for people

[-] stink@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 8 months ago

I think this is what pisses me off the most. There are still libs who claim to be the most progressive person in the world, but think that democrats are also progressive but they just never have enough people in the senate to do anything!

It used to be that your elected official worked for you, now we have these idiots working tirelessly to defend the party that has not done anything to help them in decades.

It used to be that your elected official worked for you

This was never the case though.

[-] stink@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 8 months ago

Yeah I'm

Am very Mr. Smith Goes to Washington pilled

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago

No, you see, Democrats have to win every election of every chamber in perpetuity for 50 years just so they can do something

Communism is when a buffoonish capitalist who loves capitalism threatens to seize the patents of a capitalist university so he can offload them to his capitalist buddies for them to capitalize on in a capitalist economic system.
