Jesus fucking christ. How is an union communist? Lol do unions advocate that all workers should be equally owners? Do you even know what a union or communism is? What a stupid brainwashing shit have you guys been suffering?
I’ve noticed that too. A bunch of people on here act all high and mighty, feeling their better that those lowly reddit users, but from my experience the people are really not that different. Maybe a higher percentage of linux users and star trek fans for some reason. I suspect the intersection of the two is quite large.
My comment was meant to mimic right-wing talking points which exaggerate social democratic ideas as as if they were extremist viewpoints. Guess it wasnt as clear as I imagined it in my head.
many might get annoyed about mentioning those talking points, even if its obviously not serious. I’m not accusing you of anything or anything like that, but by even mentioning it also perpetuates the “meme” those rightwing assholes have been manufacturing.
So its kind of same thing as why you shouldn’t use derogatory terms even as joke or ironically -> it keeps them alive in collective consciousness.
The whole communism = bad and anything even slightly left = communism is deliberate effort to demonize anything that might help america’s working class and breaking the grip the rich have on the country. Or if it supposedly isn’t, it’s suspiciously too effective way to achieve exactly that.
us could have this too, if you had strong unions among other things.
You mean communism?
Edit: /s because it seems it wasnt obvious enough
Looking around at the current political environment, I’ll take a little of that Communism, or at least the Socialist flavor.

Wow chill I was being sarcastic. Thought it was obvious enough but seems Lemmy isnt so different from reddit after all, the /s is always needed.

With so many pro-far left here it’s pretty logical we thought you were serious
