I don't see Antifa cheering on Trump's fascistic tendencies. (11)

No they cheer on their own fascistic tendencies. (-9)

NO you see, his party had "Socialists" in the title, so he must have been a Socialist, you have to take them at their word.Unless they say they stole the election, or that you are never going to need to vote ever again, those words don't matter, because it wasn't what he meant.But the other side totally meant it. (34)

Just like Antifa! Good point! (-5)

State capitalism- private ownership but the authoritarian government controlled production, prices, and resources. Not socialism. (19)

So you just make it up as you go? No such thing as private capitalism (-5)

Like, these memes try so hard.But there is literally no video of anyone doing remotely what Elon did, even if Elon didn't mean it.Also, in the past Elon apologized for anti-Semitic comments. He has not apologized for this.All old boy had to do was be like "omg, my bad!" and a large portion of the rhetoric would have died down instantly, but he still hasn't apologized. (29)

Most people don't really care. He already explained himself. Wasn't meant as a Nazi salute. He was gesturing "my heart goes out to you" Honestly I think he's on the spectrum. It's not exactly a secret that he's kind of a doofus. But regardless, if he he never intended to do anything other than what he claims...why the heck would he apologize? You don't apologize for something you didn't do. This whole thing has been blown out of proportion. It's just more shit stirring from a corrupt propaganda machine. And what sucks is that all it really accomplished was a lot of regular folks getting their property vandalized or destroyed. Getting assaulted and harassed by a bunch of losers and contemptible morons. (2)

Angriness: ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก

That is a blatant lie. The Nazi party was synonymous with "national socialism." (-9)

Sure they called it that but that's like saying the republicans in ancient Rome and the republicans now are the same because they're both republicans.Also economic policy has little to do with government structure. There have been centrally planned violent left wing regimes and centrally planned violent right wing regimes.It's the central planning that leads to failure and the violence that leads to evil. The economics just leads toโ€ฆ economic outcomesโ€ฆ (3)

Why is it fricked? Because YOU didn't win? I'm sorry but that's democracy. All this temper tantrum by the left is only making it worse. And you were all fine when your democracy elected leaders that bombed the shit out of brown people. You've got no moral standing here. (0)

No, it is fricked because according to Project 2025 and what he already said and did, America is fricked.He want to make an eugenic cleansing of America by getting rid of trans, countless legal and illegal immigrants, and other minorities. He have extremely conservative views of genders, especially women, which he is already the indirect cause of then losing their abortion right in half of the country, and he want to force it on all States. He also want to make the 1% even richer, not giving a frick about poverty. He defunded the air travel security office which lead to multiple preventable crash, defunded the Food health organization which worsen the avian flu epidemic which is exactly why eggs are near 1.00$ each in some places, and plan to defund many other like NASA. He stopped the help of Ukraine in favor of Putin, said he want to annex Palestine, as well as buying Greenland and Annex Canada, my fricking country, and again in Project 2025 state he will remove the two mandate restri...

The dumbest aspect of "state capitalism" is simultaneously arguing both of these:

  • China and the USSR aren't socialist because they don't precisely match the ideology.

  • It doesn't matter than capitalism is defined as private ownership of capital.

They would just define capitalism as the worship of money and commodity.

I guess that means I can define socialism however I want, and the USSR was definitely that.

Actual self-identifying socialists do not say that China* and the USSR aren't socialist. I see this meme all the time, but I have to ask who is this morass of communards who claim that the Soviet Union and China are not socialist? I'll give some leeway for China because of the emergence of a Chinese bourgeoisie under Deng Xiopingโ€”although the bourgeoisie is not anywhere near as powerful as it is in the United States. Jack Ma cannot challenge the Chinese government in the same way that Elon Musk can.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to see here :marseyshrug:?

Someone asks a 101-level question on what state capitalism is and the top two responses is a lenin quote, and ruminations on China's mixed economy?

Are you trying to say that Lenin does not claim to be a socialist because he viewed state capitalism as a step forward or that the commenters in that thread don't view Lenin as a socialist for the same reasons?

does china not trade the economic bourgeoisie for political bourgeoise? if youve been paying the slightest bit of attention its also the same way in murica. which is why companies struggle to get permits all the time. there's no NIMBY in chinA

What do you mean by "economic bourgeoisie" and "political bourgeoisie"?

It is not the same thing in America. Jack Ma's political career ended the moment he publicly criticized regulators. There is no equivalent in Europe or North America, where the bourgeoisie are running the show, not tied to a leash.

you are strongly understating what Jack Ma did. A good example of Jack Ma in America is Marc Rich and just like Jack Ma after doing his dutiful begging and whining while giving gifts Marc Rich was given a pardon by Clinton. Unlike Jack Ma, Clinton isn't seen with Mark Rich at all. Xi can't say that. Robert F Smith is another great example he had to sell out his bosses and partner multiple times to dodge the IRS. While it might be a game of muscial chairs billionaires do get lit on fire in the US.

What did Jack Ma do that is comparable to Marc Rich or Robert F Smith? Billionaires do occasionally get "lit on fire" in the US, but they are rare exceptions. Your two examples still ended in Rich buying a presidential pardon and Smith a non-prosecution agreement, hardly what I would describe as tribulations. Jack Ma was eventually rehabilitated, but methinks he's not criticizing the government anytime soon.

My favorite argument for socialism is people pointing at socialized aspects such as police and mail even though they're so shitty and they themselves hate them.

You don't know what you are talking about. I will use the police as an example. I just typed "police started as strike breakers" into google. The AI summary gives this as the first response.

Historically, police forces have indeed been used as strike-breakers, with their origins often tied to suppressing labor movements and protecting property interests, as evidenced by events like the Great Railroad Strike of 1877.

Here's a more detailed look:

Early Policing and Labor Movements:

As the United States entered the industrial era, capitalists hired private paramilitaries and later, police forces, to control working-class communities and suppress labor organizing through violence.

You think that when the capitalist class creates a government institution to enforce private ownership of large scale industry it is socialism because it is the government doing it? :marseyfacepalm:

there were people enforcing social order and laws in ancient china and rome

the first "police" force was in London (city run police)

The Metropolitan Police Service (founded in 1829 in London) was created to address rising crime, disorder, and the inefficiency of earlier law enforcement methods in a rapidly urbanizing society.

I guess I should have specified I meant American cities transitioning from county sheriffs and militias to the modern PD.

The development of modern police forces in the United States, particularly in the post-Civil War era, was heavily influenced by their role in suppressing labor movements and acting as strike-breakers, often used to protect property and corporate interests.

But also, according to the gigabrain I was responding to...that means ancient China and Rome had "socialized" law enforcement :marseyxd:
