Speed is the worst category.

Proud of you skill opening people’s profiles. Maybe your smooth brain isn’t that much of a problem to get along with motorical tasks you had to suffer through when making 2 clicks :/

Whatever floats the bloat of your demagogy

It fun and sad at the same time …

How old are you? 13? , bro

Bullshit, we put a little gap.

Ubuntu is the reason why I hated Linux first. It is crappy bloatware, that is hard to use. You have to open terminal to install deb files, and you have no idea you had to install nvidia driver. Snap packages are attrocity someone caught dead using.

KDE Plasma desktop was the best, then it helped me get into tiling. (Mint is also really cool)

Yes I can. They did not bother to nuance their position, going fully into soviet empire propaganda. My grandfather was sent to gulag after soviets occupied baltic states, and he died presumably from starvation and overworking. I wish I could tell him that actually he is supposed to be alive, according to alternatively gifted delusional people from .ml

Also there are examples of getting to planned economy without autocracy: Salvodor Allende’s Chile, anarchist societies in Ukraine in 30s, Yugoslavia (kinda), etc.

Ew what atrocity. Doesnt even contain azodicarbonamide and potassium bromate, we Americans eat!

Tankies are not communists , they are delusional children , believing that hardcore autocracy can help getting to socialism. But in practice you get state funded oligarchy killing its people, arresting and disappearing its independent worker’s unions.

Dark psychology 😈😈

So far, this is most degenerate argument I’ve met on lemmy.

Also nice indicator of missing critical thinking.

First of all, you missed a nice opportunity to mention my weak points. Second, western media loves to satanize dprk, yet the gulags are not just yet another speculation from noname korean outlet that was reposted by the bigger western ones, it is a real violation of human rights as well as the executions of families being a thing. You can not call documented years of systematic public executions and gulags “tabloid shit”.

[ Also comparing Maduro, a dictator that rigged elections (thus being dictator , because people were against his regime) , to a real socialist like Allende, that came to power in a real competition, and had a real name, without having to establishing state oligarchy under red flag and calling it a socialism, is ironical at best. No one is sad because Maduro is captured, no one cares about him, many people celebrated even. When Allende was killed, even those frustrated by the chaos of 1970s , respected the fact that he was a legitimate leader, Allende died because he did not want to flee, and died with rifle in his hands. But I do understand it is some sort of analogy. ]

Your takeaway , that the only way to build a socialism is through “seizing power and never lose it” a.k.a turning from socialist system into yet another state oligarchy is also hilarious, because this is literally what the so called “social bloc” , the fact that soviet union and china was no different from corpocracy , where the main goal is oppress any independent worker unions, silence the people, and own as much as possible in the hands of the one guy. This system is unsustainable and leads to anything but socialism. Socialism without democracy is not socialism by the very fundamental idea of socialism, the society supposed to own the means of production, not the state oligarchs , that cannot be replaced by democratic voting. Instead you get corpocracy wanting to expand (definitely not imperialism, but a good will), crushing everything beneath them, putting oligarchs, censoring everything and locking down their people.

If you need an alternative to US imperialism and tankie dictatorship, how about getting rid of any hegemony, thus weakening the most dangerous actor (US) , and then do political activism all together , to return to the strong social-democratic baseline, and then, Meidner’s plan, independent workers unions, worker’s self-management and trying different approaches to moving from free market to market socialism or similar.

I don’t want to know your opinion if it is not about people ruling the state.

Congrats, you make no sense, feel free to stfu ❤️‍🩹

Apparently so. It is much easier if you have connection to mainland in terms of living. Yet, you are still ignoring the execution part :/

P.S Fuck tankies btw.

So you ignored the execution part for what purpose? And also Cuba is island without any connections to the mainland. north korea can buy supplies. I agree that all countries need independent economy without sanctions, so the dictatorships could naturally disolve and establish a real dictatorship of the proletariat - democracy or preferably direct democracy. Why no one of you tankies mention a true socialist that was elected by people (not put on the throne by soviets, or like bolsheviks just opressing and ignoring alternative parties like social-revolutionaries, that got the majority in учередительное собрание) like Salvodor Allende , who was killed during CIA-assisted coup.

Hot take: tankies are the main reason why social-democratic consensus ended.

So, this somehow gives the regime an apology to kill and starve their own people? Meanwhile some of the members of the party are living their proletariat lives on private islands. They are on their way to dismantle hierarchy for sure.

How did this sloppy shit get 86 upvotes.

Or maybe it is easier to integrate ukrainians than deeply rural people escaping from wars caused by Europeans and US.
