Happy Friday comrades! Sorry this place has been pretty quiet, I've been moving to a new apartment.

Fun thread time.

Comment with your favorite garbage capitalist takes on socialism. I'll start:

If you love socialism so much, why don't you empty your bank account and live as a feral mountain man in the woods?

"If you love socialism so much why don't you vote for Trump?"

“The Fed accepts checks. If you want to pay more taxes you can write one out right now”

Everyone knows that there's nothing more socialist than... *checks notes* funding the US military

Socialism makes people lazy because everything is done for them and paid for by the government! Capitalism makes everyone more industrious. I’ve never seen anything lazier than a non-employee shareholder or passive income owner, but that’s just me.

Generally followed by "landlords need to eat too uwu"

“You say all your examples of failed socialism ending in starvation aren’t REAL socialism, but it IS.”

No it’s not. I don’t know how to explain it, but it would be done the right way if we got to do it, you just can’t have corruption and ppl need to cooperate lol. Can someone offer some good counterpoints so I’ll be prepared next time?

That’s exactly my point: hence the need for centralisation for it to make sense

Welcome, comrades! My hope is for this group to be a respite from the bleak capitalist wasteland, as well as a place to share resources and information about getting organized and supporting socialist endeavors. This group needs an admin, I can't do it myself. Comment here if you're interested!

I would suggest having a thread or threads about defending socialism against capitalism. In the real world anti-socialist ideas/arguments are made all the time and for those lessed versed in socialist thought, it can be hard to defend one's position and perhaps even be persuaded bythe capitalists. Just an idea

For those who want some lighter reading on Marx, I can recommend this. Each chapter starts with a standard anti-Marx argument and then gives the rebuttal. The left can sometimes be a bit “I can’t believe you disagree, I won’t even engage’ but this means we are often not well rehearsed to oppose the other side of the argument.

Anyone considering voting for Trump?

Would love to hear your considerations if his neo-hegalianism within economic policies are worth voting for even in the face of his fascistic tendencies

This bowl is kind of quiet.
I don’t know much about the topic so I don’t personally have much to contribute. Was hoping for more activity in here.

Hey. I was wondering, what are some jobs that you wouldn't take on the basis that you don't feel it's ethical? For me, I just would never work for a defense contractor or anything to do with the FBI, CIA, etc. I also don't ever plan on being a manager.

It's pretty weird to see how terrified people in the US get about the "threat to society" that socialism poses while ignoring the fascism that is *already here*.

I know you don't want another USSR, neither do I. I also don't want another Nazi Germany, so stop voting fascists into our government. The closest we have to socialists in Congress are people like Bernie, who's not starting a revolution. Meanwhile almost all of the R's in the Senate are against a bill that would prevent another coup.
