sizeoftheuniverseHow i feel on Lemmy
The vague idea of getting the same as everyone else, while not having to actually make the effort, appeals to sheltered and unappreciative western kids who feel oppressed because they have to put down thier entertainment device and do thier maths homework.
Borderline champagne socialists
Or you know, the workers work for themselves instead of the billionaire class. Too much nuance though right?
In Communism we had to work for the Party Elite.
So, communism has it’s owm ruling class, it’s just that they are not called billionaires.
Who told you western teenagers were too dumb to understand this fact and fail to include the remedies to their ideology when they rule up against capitalism?
The problem is that places like the USSR were just authoritarian using communist tells and concepts to keep people in line. It was just state-run capitalism. Communism is fundamentally about not having a ruling class.
Just like the “democratic” people’s republic of Korea isn’t a democracy, the USSR wasn’t socialist.
A pro capitalist like you would love that though? You seem very confused.
That’s socialism, communism is a stateless classless society.
So in some ways, people are right when they say the USSR isn’t communist: Because it’s literally impossible to implement it.
