[yellow, angry]
I don’t like communism because every time we tried it, power corrupted people
[yellow, smiling and shrugging]
This is why I prefer capitalism, in which power corrupts people
[yellow, t-posing and drooling]
I am very smart and understand ideologies very well than you for coming to my TED talk
As long as we’re talking about Libertarian Communism, I’m 100% on board :D
But if we’re talking about centralized state controlled communism, I am most definitely not on board :(
my people still remember how we had a successful union movement going until Lenin said “All Power to the Soviet”, demanded that we quit striking all the time so that the urban factory settings could industrialize faster, and then the ML Union Bosses of the Stalin era became just as corrupt as the mine operators with both the mine bosses and the union bosses telling us to shut the fuck up and get back to work and stop worrying about whatever the hell “black lung” is.
okay. that’s enough thinking out of me. i’m going back to recovering from RSV.
as always, fuck every extractive economy no matter what color their fascist movement purports to be
Getting people to decouple political systems and economic systems from one another is extremely difficult, especially for MLs because the thought leaders they’re in love with wrote grand unifying theories that present them as one and the same. They’re linked, but not so strictly as people tend to think.
