  • I can suppose you don't have any problems with landlords, bosses, or discrimination, you're the member of the class that has the best or at least good quality of life under the current system. Your main problem are some shitty bikes, while some have to deal with the fact they don't have a roof under their head just because some greedy owner doesn't allow them to live in an unused house, or a sick person who cannot afford treatment again because they have to pay some absurdly large sum of money. Capitalism is not a system that sustains everyone or gives equal opportunity for everyone's growth, no, it's just for a small, lucky group of people, it concentrates wealth at the top of the hierarchy.

    The communities I mentioned are self-sustaining and anti-hierarchical, they grow together for the good of the community, and at least trying to be those places where there's no discrimination, and not the place where basic needs are a commodity (like your beloved Belgium). They're poor by the standards of modern capitalist countries, which is all about money, so in my eyes, there's no such thing as "poor", just a person who is born in the system where their class is treated unfairly.

    ... and never working a day?

    How scary!!! /s

  • Fellow linguistics nerd

  • What's the largest amount of people that tried this moneyless stateless society stuff and how long did it last

    Many indigenous peoples lived so for millennia. In Europe, the attempts from the past were Paris Commune most notably, Makhno's Free Territory, etc. Those which stand today are Rojava, "Exarcheia" in Greece, "Christiania" in Denmark, areas in Mexico controlled by Zapatistas, hundreds of small intentional communities, and many tribal communities.

    Ussr was state capitalist, north Korea is Kim's paradise. Cuba is state capitalist. China is capitalist.

    Yeah, I know?

  • My job requires me to be trustworthy. If I get caught stealing a bike, even though they won't do much, it might get on crime record. Whenever I look for a new job, I will need to give them my crime record and explain myself

    Sorry by "take" i didn't mean "steal", I'm not telling you to steal a new bike if you don't want to lol

    My bike is 9700 euros. Of course people will want to steal it.

    Again, theft wouldn't be a problem in a moneyless society, since all bikes have the same value and everyone has an access to those bikes, not like in our society where a more costly and less available bike is more valued and therefore entices people to steal.

  • Without artificial scarcity created by capitalism theft wouldn't be a problem. Just let abundance of bikes and even if someone steals it you can always borrow another one.

  • No, no one in history achieved their rights by β€œjust having a peaceful talk in the marketplace of ideas”, because all governments are hierarchies that exist to benefit the top of this hierarchy, and with peaceful talks you achieve nothing but continuation of the status quo. What's the point of letting the nobility, fascists, dictators, oligarchs, or anyone who is nothing but poison exist? They will continue oppressing others no matter how many times will you talk with them, they will only shut up if you show them you're not going to tolerate them.

  • "OUR fair and just police vs THEIR brutal murderer cops"

    They should learn that ACAB means "ALL cops are bastards", not "All cops in the US and not my beloved infallible glorious prc"

  • Always

  • Omg mine greets people at doors too, it's so cute!

  • I see AI, I downvote, no exception

  • The giant monster energy drink costume as a uniform?

  • 4chan is down? The best news i've heard so far

  • Apparently the user himself claims to be elon musk, but the most convincing thing so far is that there was some sort of a thread where he discussed the idea to make non-logged users unable to see the content, and hours later this change actually happened on twitter.

    The only thing I can say is that if it's actually him, we will just once again get a confirmation that he's cringe, for now, whoever this is, is incredibly cringe, even if it's not elon musk.

  • If we allow this no one is going to be normal anymore and become this... different-sexual or whatever. That's a threat for humanity!

  • I really love when cats do this

  • Real eyes realise real lies

  • Me myself? Pastel :3

  • No one would understand this is what you intended if you use a transphobic dogwhistle for that.

  • Absolutely true!

  • I see

    We should create a Floptok-like community/instance on lemmy

    It would be nice to create a community for flops here and on Pixelfed too. I'm pretty sure there are at least some of us on Fediverse, and it would be really good to introduce floptok members from tiktok into fediverse as well. Who's interested in helping me with it?
