Shouldn’t that be “we’re doomed any way”? Or are there just two options?
with socialism or without it, but yea should have said that
that Democrats are worse than Hitler and the only option is to just let republiQans win
who the fuck says that? The political system is broken in the USA anyways. Only 2 sides.
Socialism is really broad. It’s not just that (but yea it starts with it), but “so socialist” indicates the more “strict” or left-wing versions of socialism
You’re brainwashed based on your reaction to my reaction
calm down
political topics really rile people up
A society where everyone is responsible isn’t doable. People are assholes, we’re doomed either way
Laws can help though, one step at a time. Socialism isn’t throwing the old system away entirely
good for you
And yea, keep making assumptions
That’s not what I meant to say. What I meant to say is you’re less inclined to vote for socialism if you end up suffering economically for it. There sure are people that just want people to be equal, but it’s pretty obvious to see that the proudest defenders of this are often the ones who would benefit the most of this, which is likely to be linked to what I said above.
or a desire to take from the wealthy
It sure seems like many do. Saying that on lemmy is… bold
I feel like this episode was really bad. Unfunny, making fun of random unfunny things, and going away from the plot of the first episode. I hope they do better for the next one
it has to do, as you have nothing to lose. Never said it is only based on this, but it will have an effect. You’ll be less tempted to vote for a party that will make you lose half your wealth if you’re currently rich
Not revealing too much about you is a smart move
or because you have nothing to lose from it in your current situation
I’m not a native speaker and not the best at English so 😵
Why are you taking about your sister?
*if you get lucky and have a nice spawn
A life without kids is a life with less responsibilities and more freedom
Hurray!
Using strong words is cool and all, but it doesn’t talk about the important part: is it really bad? If the workers are treated well, its a win win situation
No matter who you are, you are a slave of the economy. Companies with everyone being able to take decisions democratically exist, you’re not forced to take the traditional rule, it’s just the safest one
Yea alright, wasn’t obvious to me
I tend not to agree with your beliefs but that’s alright
The question is what is it then
If you own a factory you don’t need to work to live. You just collect the profits and are a capitalist.
It’s not as easy. Unless people do all the work for you, you still have to manage that factory
You can also capitalize on the money you make from your work, making you take risks just like the factory owner for a revenue
Why can’t you be a worker and a capitalist?
Buying work also has some risk. Everyone gets their cut, you’re only exploited if the revenue is really unbalanced
Sadly true
