      This is Lemmy, you don’t have to convince people not to like capitalism here, we’re already on board

          Communists aren’t the only people that hate modern, western, late stage capitalism. Some of us are good, old fashioned, corporations-aren’t-people folks who believe that the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness shouldn’t be infringed by the mantra of “maximizing profits for our shareholders”.

          Ah because if you don’t support laissez-faire capitalism you must be a communist.

          Ha! You know you are on Lemmy when “not all of us are Communists” gets pummelled by downvotes.

          Apparently most are!

            No, he got downvoted because he equated not supporting capitalism to communism. I think most people on Lemmy are lefties but not communists. There’s a lot of in between.

                Social democracy as in the European social countries for example. There’s capitalism and partially free market, but its negative effects are balanced by stronger social safety nets such as free healthcare, free education, parental support, paid vacations and other public services thanks to redistribution through progressive taxes. It’s not perfect but I believe it’s the best of what we have actually experimented to scale for now.

                    I’m personally not against a partially free market that allows a well optimized economy as long as the potential negative impact on people and the environment are composted compensated by well enforced laws.

              What? He literally just said “not all of us are Communists” any other interpretation is very much reading between lines which is a stretch when there is only one line.

                And with the context of the comment that they were replying to, that is very much what is implied. No need to read between the single line.

      It’s ironic, isn’t it. With the most common “criticism” of communism being that nobody will be able to have any personal belongings…

        As far as i know, communists want to share means of production (usually land and machines, anything you need to work other than your brain). That means you may have your own printer and car, as long as you pay for it with a well distributed salary.

        Eventually people will realize that there is no real difference between communism and capitalism, because both systems always end up with fascists in charge.

            The thing is, communism and capitalism are basically monetary systems. They aren’t power systems. No matter how a country’s finances are set up, there’s always some assholes who eventually manage to claw their way to the top and get very rich off of their power, and bring everything crashing down because they will always want more.

      Will that really work in long term? More and more folks are entering gig economy where incomes aren’t consistently stable and people have already started to subscribe for minimum time just to consume relevant content. Are they really banking on whales forgetting to unsubscribe?

      If you don’t like it, stop heralding capitalism as the be-all of economic systems…

      Settle down. You’re on Lemmy, know your audience.

            There isn’t any irony. Whomever you were replying to has reading comprehension issues.

            OP says that we should renounce capitalism, and I said that’s a silly statement since Lemmy unequivocally hates capitalism.

          What are you talking about?? OP saying that we need to stop HeRalDing capitalism. Like we’re not on Lemmy and that the overwhelming majority of us don’t already profess to hate capitalism on a very regular basis.

          I don’t know how you read that any other way, smh
