Pretty sure it does

pilferjinx@piefed.social · 26 pts · 69d (15 replies)

Murdering 25% of your entire population and enslaving the rest to work the fields doesn't really fit into the definition of communism, as far as I'm aware.

and killing thier "closest" allies people they had to invade the country.

Really?

communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz · 6 pts · 68d (12 replies)

A stateless, classless, currencyless society in which the workers own the means of production.

where does it fit?

What do you mean?

communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz · 1 pts · 67d (10 replies)

That's literally the definition of communism. Where does enslaving people make sense? It contradicts with "classless" no?

I thought communism had slaves?

Excuse me, but I have a list of complaints. Also, I need to discuss plot-holes in your fanfic.

Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it · 3 pts · 68d (4 replies)

Well, they didn't made the fanfic ig

fartographer@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 68d (3 replies)

According to the fanfic, he narrated the story to Moses, who wrote it down. It was based on history, but then delved into original narratives, and even introduced new characters. At some point, he inserts an allegory of himself, which is spun off into its own chronicles.

Sounds exactly like fanfic to me.

ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 68d (1 reply)

By that logic, OP also wrote Dante's Inferno

fartographer@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 68d

Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it · 1 pts · 68d

If it's a fanfic, it wasn't made by god, so i don't see why you would have to complain to god about the holes in the fanfic

Yes quite good. A little frustrating at times but fun to get through.

Supported by anyone who wanted to shit on Vietnam, so China too.

Every actual communist is extremely not supported by the CIA because that's the opposite of what the CIA exists for, read a fucking book kid

In the Great War, the movies did all their propaganda pieces with the noble chinese fighting the despotic Japanese. After the war they flipped it.

Autocracy is the exact opposite of actual communism. When you use a system to gain power and wealth, you're not a communist. Even if that system is communism. Clearly communism has a flaw, as again and again people are able to abuse the system to become a corrupt dictator. But capitalism also has flaws, as there are also capitalist states that are being abused by individuals to become powerful and wealthy at the cost of others like Russia and the US.

Same thing with religion. Jesus says do no harm. Christians say they commit horrible war crimes, crimes against humanity and spread fear and hate in the name of christ. When you do that you're not a Christian but you abuse it for your own gain. This happens in many religions.

I fucking hate religion and I'm not a fan of communism (I'm an anarchist myself) but your comment is bullshit. They're not a bad communist, they just are not a communist at all.

teyrnon@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 69d (1 reply)

That is true. Communism devolves into autocracy the way it's been tried, and autocracies always devolve.

Look at fucking China, it's a capitalistic hellscape.

TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 68d

Autocracy is not communism. FFS

Imagine this is your understanding of "communism" and the history of southeast asia. JFC.

Would explain some of the unironic tankposting I've seen.

Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 67d

Correct, I'm shitposting/baiting/trolling in the place specifically designated to do so. So many people are always so angry and surprised by that.
