I could feel my body more relaxed after a few minutes of this.

I’m proposing Deathgasm from New Zealand.

It’s comedy-horror rather than horror-horror, but it fits the seasonal theme

In the mid 20th-century, people reliably got more petty bourgeois as they got older.

huh?

What have you read or where did you get your understanding from?

Ok but socdem. And before you try to make a counter argument with [insert nordic country that is actually capitalist] just think about how they always call the ussr and china communist while they arent.

What are you trying to say?

That’s my point. It’s all about doing self-interested things like mutual aid. Mutual defense is in my self-interest. A dairy co-operative is in the farmers’ interest. Zebras move in herds because it is in their mutual self-interest.

The initial comment is saying communism is about self-sacrifice, against human nature. Kropotkin (I’ve read the book three times btw) convincing makes the case that it’s the opposite of self-sacrifice: about pursuing our natural mutual interest according to our evolutionary imperatives. Kropotkin would say that ruthless competition is against our evolutionary nature and imperatives because it disadvantages survival.

the initial argument only applies to Utopian Socialism anyway – fighting for your personal interest is exactly the point of communism, destroying all the enemies of the working class

Also, who the fuck is writing this? Well-fed guys in Hollywood who have toy poodles and use tanning salons?

grand, so the answer to your question “how is lemmy centralised” is “moderation and identity”, glad we had this chat

moderation aint centralised, as it is limited to an instance. Want to see what your instances Mods have removed? Open that community from its host instance. Also don’t like the work your instance Mods and Admins do? Just switch instance and you are still part of the platform.

nah I just checked if a mod removes it it’s removed from federated instances too I just checked
