There’s clearly a lean to the left side of things in Lemmy instances, with many people attacking people at the right.
In some cases regarding the climate crisis, there’s people blaming it on capitalism while hinting that communism/socialism are the solution to the climate crisis, because somehow having the state controlling the entire economy will lead to stop CO2 emissions.
A bit from the article:
The best way to protect the environment is to get rich. That way, there is enough money not only to meet the needs of ordinary people, but also to pay for cleaner power plants and better water-treatment facilities. Since capitalism is the best way to create wealth, humanity should stick with it.
Not the first time I’ve heard about this concept, and the more i look into the world the more I agree with it. Being green is kind of a luxury that not many people can afford, and the poorer people are the less they can afford green technology.
Lenin doesn’t own socialism. And I didn’t say it would be socialism. You can have socialistic concepts. Those things are still in and of themselves socialism but don’t exist in a socialistic system in wide scale.
No one is saying socialistic capitalism is socialism. So don’t argue that point. When that’s your conclusion, it means you argued against the wrong thing. If you enjoy strawman and scarecrows, have at it I guess…just don’t expect anyone to want to have any worthwhile discussion with you until you actually respond to what people are saying and not something else.
Because those practices are not socialistic. If it is not related to socialism, it’s not socialistic
It literally is related to socialism. Ffs, I feel like I’m talking to a brick wall. You’re offering nothing of value to counter with other than “no.” I can’t tell if you’re even serious or just trolling now. What is wrong with your ability to communicate?
Those are literally socialistic services. They’d be enacted the same way in socialism. You understand one little bit of socialism and you’re grasping on it with white-knuckles hands and closing your eyes chanting “I can’t hear anything else.”
It’s tiring. I’m done trying to discuss with you. You’re as aggravating as a cavity and as amusing as the appointment to fill the aforementioned cavity. There’s nothing of value in talking to you.
No, the issue is that you haven’t read Lenin. He explained this very clearly on why these are apparatus of the capitalist state designed to support the capitalists in class antagonism. Socialism is about the workers owning the means of production in a transitionary state where the state slowly withers away.
