Ok, “communists want to force their will upon everyone else which necessitates murder”

Are you happy?

About fucking time.

That’s literally what they want. You depressed and suicidal. The task is reducing population by like 7.5 billion.

am i correctly understanding that you believe that enforcing the law automatically necessitates killing people?

When the law declares that I have no freedom to choose what I do with my life, no freedom of movement and no private property, that isn’t a law I am going to ever accept. So it necessitates violence against me, obviously.

‘communists want to kill everyone’

More like, “communists want to force their will upon everyone else which necessitates violence”

‘well maybe not all of them but the ones that dont will never succeed’

Duh? Communism requires property appropriation. How exactly do you steal property without violence?

‘well having laws means killing people’

That’s you, not me.

Look, it’s really simple.

You can’t have communism unless everyone participates, and you can 100% guarantee not everyone will want to participate.

Therefore, either they are forced to participate, or it doesn’t happen. There really isn’t another option.

They just haven’t been prodded sufficiently to spill what they really want post-revolution and how exactly they would accomplish it. If kumbaya is their plan, well, it isn’t going to succeed.

🤦‍♂️

Literally just explained and demonstrated with an example of how communism inevitably requires violence, and that literally every communist would agree, but you just plug your ears and go lalala. Ok buddy.

“that ethnic group there, that sexual minority over there, and those miscegenators over there, must be exterminated for the purity of our nation”.

I think that’s just tribalism, not fascism. Merriam-webster defines fascism as:

a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

You need to tick all the boxes to qualify.

Come back down to the real world. People don’t want communism unless you force them into it under the barrel of a gun. Communism means my individual wants, needs, and property is decided by the will of the people, which in reality translates to the will of a few dozen elite Party members at the top of the scheme. I’m not an ant in a colony.

As someone whose family has been massacred by Stalin’s repressions while every single possession was stolen, I’m going to go ahead and not join your cult. Thanks. I bet if it happened again, you’d be cheering in support.

How’s that? Every time I’ve pressed a communist about how they will deal with non conformity should their revolution succeed, they eventually agree that the plan is to kill them.

The snowflake people literally cannot handle neutrality. Their heads start exploding.

So, can we extend that to any communist group as well then?

As a dev with 15 years experience with a bachelors and a masters that I quit halfway through - no one has even mentioned my schooling for the past 12 years or so.

Should probably start looking yesterday.

Bye bye warranty?

Run by who, your friendly neighborhood local government?

No thank you. I think Lemmy is great. Hopefully it catches on sufficiently for niche communities to really develop.

The fact that it’s a teeny tiny bit more technical than reddit is a nice barrier against utter stupidity.

I have no idea how many followers I have because I use the old interface exclusively.

I’ve been on reddit for a couple years before the flood from Digg. The quality of content and especially comments went down right then, and never recovered.

Personally I skipped Digg entirely.

Quit reddit behavior please. This adds nothing and is not at all useful.

This is great and all, but do you really think it’s feasible to spam a link wall with every response? I’ve seen people try it on reddit, it usually doesn’t work anyway.

For the record, I hold an opinion similar to @TheOubliette@lemmy.ml
