Copyparty is not that known I guess.

I love baking biscuits but is a good gateway to moving to baking bread… and space cake.

Counter: Bars should have taxes lifted on the first round of beverages purchased in bars. And increased taxes for alcohol purchased in shops. And maximum music dB enforced.

In the current time of AI, music by bands should be required.

Social drinking should be promoted to counter loneliness.

When you colour 80% of all bike lanes orange the defence that a driver didn’t know it was a bike lane becomes moot.

I’m not talking about trust, I mean two enclosed single bicycle lanes that merge at a bicycle crossing before entering an enclosed 2 way bicycle lane.

Ugg it’s obvious that conversation on this platform has no merit when people can downvote you without reason and total anonymity. It creates the perfect environment for theories of a meddling of 50c army or similar, with no meaningful inclusion.

Mods are doing too little against this cult like behaviour.

The dutch solved this by colouring the bike lane orange. Yes occasionally we add bollards but the entrances to 2 lanes often end/start in protected intersections

Nice try Peter Thiel you ain’t getting my birth year that easily.

I personally have found it to be dangerous to talk about socialism without knowing if the person is a staunch ML or can converse about their critics.

Like wise if the ownership of the socialism definition and revisionism like Democratic Socialism, Anarchic Socialism is associated or excluded.

Stepping into socialist theory it seemed like Manifesto of the Communist Party was the one and only way, joining lemmy.ml seemed to reaffirm that but then one listens to Socialists from a different media thier ideas are far less strict. I’m assuming they’ve read other books and pamphlets by other people.

This is news to me that the meat industry isn’t already owned by billionaires.

Thanks yes this seems to be a mistake, reading more into history I’ve even found that the push for better working conditions has come from elected social democrats and political union parties (1906 in the Netherlands) long before the Russian revolution.

I take it you haven’t seen my red rose profile picture 😉

But no not as literature, I thought I’d get the foundation of Marx but took a detour on Mao do you have any recommendations?

Thanks ❤️

Yeah it would definitely help to know who downvoted or upvoted some blatantly heinous comments.

Having now been fodder to a couple of the 50c army I’m now much less inclined towards the label of Socialism so I’m not sure for the overall motives other than Cult purity.

I’ll be looking for a mbin or piefed instance now 👋

Yes context matters and that’s indeed why I’m so puzzled for the current backing of Russian, Chinese North Korean autocrats. And the perl clutching of Leninist beliefs that Trotskyism and more democratic values are self defeating. It is Plato all over again.

Meanwhile the material conditions are completely different (even for the *.ml professional revolutionaries /j) the proletariat in more democratic countries have a stronger influence on policy than since the tsar and emperor, while mechanical barriers to reform through revolution have strengthened considerably.

Great then you would remember the blatant lies he drivels about needing an interim autocracy for a short period to transform to communism where the proletariat have ownership… oh but wait jinx we still need an overseer to fight off any imperialist attacks. The entire theory relies on the same logic of kings.

Then you have the heinous bloodlust of the killing off the bourgeois, I mean he puts it in nicer terms: saying that people of a certain capitalistic idealism must be punished and removed and that the bourgeois will stab you in the back if you make him a pauper and give him a penny. As if the bourgeois are a different race and must be eradicated.

But the proletariat will definitely have thier communist democracy just under the confines of what I want. It’s using the bait of democracy to reel in a bad kings replacement.

Yes

Have you read the Red Book?

That’s something I actually like about .ml it allows me to find literature on important current topics without the capitalist mindset, that’s so hard to come by. On the other hand the blind following of concepts like Lenin’s democratic centralism and Mao’s defence of state oppression, makes it difficult to convince with, along with the silent support for capitalist autocracies like the Kremlin and Xi.

I’m currently reading the Red Book from Mao and there some parts that are needlessly dangerous that use crusaders logic to defend atrocities for a promised future.
