Yeah. Although I like socialism and partially agree with the meme, I'm really tired of constantly seeing political memes, so at this point I just down vote any political meme that I see lol
It’s not we, this guy is the only person posting these political memes here. I hate blocking users but posting multiple memes a day trying to push your agenda is pretty annoying.
It'll work this time, guys! Communism won't mean dictatorship, guys! I promise that there won't be economic stagnation this time, guys! Trust me! I know this, because I believe it!
Have we tried maybe...NOT putting anyone in charge of everyone and THEN trying socialism/communism? There are other theories we haven't explored yet...🏴
And we just may be at the point where technology can make this happen.
Just take a look at the self-organizing nature of the open source software industry. No one player has absolute control of anything, yet it thrives.
Nope. Capitalism inherently exploits the working class. Exploitation is not inherent to socalism. Both system are corruptible, but capitalism starts out that way.
Exploitation is inherent to any system in which there is an established hierarchy, which necessarily includes any and all systems in which there is institutionalized authority, entirely regardless of the economic system in place.
Leaving institutionalized authority in place and merely switching from a capitalist to a socialist system only changes the specific hoops the exploiters have to jump through to gain and maintain privilege - instead of gaining wealth and using it to buy political power, they have to, and do, gain political power and use it to commandeer wealth.
If you want to fight exploitation, you need to go all the way to the real source and fight the institutionalization of authority.
Any time anyone has the power to rule, you axiomatically have a ruling class.
