Communist

to see all the calls for literal and actual (and not joking… not really) murder of people who participate in such wildly anti-communist practices as … <checks notes> “have bank accounts”.

I’m gonna need a source for this, that sounds too insane to be believable, and i’ve never seen anything like that.

i’m not completely confident that those far-right psychos are even real people for the most part. Reddit is probably the most botted place on the internet.

Weird that men used to be more liberal at any point.

Based on my conversations with other self-proclaimed anarcho-communists in this very same thread[1], and that exchange mirroring the experience of every other anarcho-communist I’ve talked to on Lemmy apart from you, yeah, I kinda did.

he’s obviously trolling you.

But that’s besides the point. What I want is to be left alone. I want to get on with my life without someone demanding to know whether I believe Israel should exist or not, because both sides in that conflict are committing war crimes and the idea of reading seventeen Wikipedia pages about the historical conflict of those two countries so that I can choose which side to support and more effectively defend myself in Internet arguments I never asked to have doesn’t really appeal.

then don’t post your poorly researched opinions online.

I want to be able to not fully commit to being vegan quite yet without someone helpfully telling me I’m a murderer

What so you want them to lie to you so that your feelings won’t be hurt and so you can pretend you’re a perfect person?

I eat meat, i know it’s murder, it’s completely a wrong thing that I just enjoy and do. If someone calls me a murderer for it, they’re right, but I simply move on with my day. Do you actually believe you aren’t doing anything wrong and shouldn’t be called on it when you do something wrong? You are. Accept it and move on with your life. Eating meat is unethical, everyone knows it who isn’t delusional. Everyone does unethical things, whatever. Are you really so coddled that you can’t take the fact that you’re doing something unethical when you eat meat? You are.

I want to look at memes without somehow getting into a discussion about economic systems. Most of all I want to be able to want that without being called a fascist.

Then don’t whine about politics in threads.

The ideas leftists present are good ideas. But I would like there to be a space I can go every now and again where I don’t have to think about them.

boohoo, politics encompasses everything, you’re in a thread about politics… posting about politics… the fediverse is a political idea, mozilla is a company, it’s all politics. The world doesn’t revolve around your feelings. You literally brought this on yourself, completely.

I doubt gabe would choose a successor that would make steam public either, though.

They will never go public so enshittification rules don’t necessarily apply

Yes except element call is a frontend for voip and p2p

there’s a graphical indicator if they send something unencrypted, and there’s no way to turn an encrypted chat into an unencrypted chat on matrix. Plus they start encrypted by default, I honestly don’t even know how to make an unencrypted chat, I don’t think there’s any good way to other than using a client that doesn’t have encryption.

this is not a real problem.

How is it more secure than matrix? I can’t even self-host it.

No they don’t, it’s just confusingly worded

Element X is a matrix client that will eventually replace Element for android/ios

Matrix 2.0 is the server suite, some of the changes in matrix 2.0 are necessary for element x to work.

They didn’t though? Source?

Not in the sense that they’ll all be confiscated, but in the sense that multiple anarcho-communists have told me that under their utopia, theft will not be a crime.

source: dude just trust me

They were probably saying there will be no reason to steal because resources will be plentiful, not that you can just take other peoples stuff and it’s fine.

They’ve also told me that under anarcho-communism, there will be no state, thus no laws, thus no justice system.

no they didn’t, a state is just a monopoly on violence in a given region, there will still be law and order through democracy and consensus, it’ll just be horizontally handled by the community.

If you are wronged, your only recourse is vigilantism – a point I can’t help but notice you quoted but conveniently glossed over

this is just nonsense, we just believe these things would be handled communally, not by authority, but by democracy. it got glossed over because it’s just as much nonsense as the toothbrush thing.

But I digress. Vigilantism doesn’t work (I’d be happy to explain why if you have trouble with that as well) and I’m still waiting to hear a single anarcho-communist propose an alternative.

democratically run courts with rotations, honestly there are hundreds of ideas, google it. Nobodies idea is what you’re saying, it’s just a strawman.

Does leftism only count if I do it in public?

No but it means if you do it wrong you’ll get made fun of. You’ve clearly never even read a single book on anarchism and have strong opinions about it.

If your opinions are based on complete nonsense strawmen, that explains why you keep getting made fun of.

The point of the comic is that absolute buffoons say they’re getting bullied and that’s the reason they’re getting pushed right, like you. It has no basis in reality, people are just criticizing things they should criticize, and since you don’t bother to do the necessary reading to understand why people are criticizing you, you just go “the left is mean wahhh”

The fact that your arguments are covered in socialism101 courses shows that you’ve never even bothered to make an attempt. Do you actually think socialists are so dumb that they never thought of these arguments? Do you actually think marx or kropotkin never came up with “but what if someone murders someone” on their own? They wrote all these books and they get dunked on by a guy who says “well what if someone takes my stuff?” in your imaginary world.

they include tenting kits, you can adjust it to however you like

anarcho-communist utopia in which personal belongings are a distant memory and vigilante justice reigns supreme

Literally nobody, not even anarchocommunists, like me, want personal belongings to not be a thing. Marxism 101 includes a section on personal vs private property, the notion of wanting to abolish private property is not with the modern understanding of private property, marx made the clear distinction between private and personal property, and it’s quite simple, personal property is stuff that you own, private property is stuff that generates capital.

I don’t get why people keep thinking anyone would believe something this stupid, like do you actually think we’re going to take your toothbrushes?

but that “utopia” is something I will fight tooth and nail against

You clearly don’t even know what you’re fighting against. That’s probably why you get made fun of in socialist circles. Read theory, all you have is a clear strawman and whining that people make fun of you.

I’m a devout Catholic, I think being gay is sinful, and I voted for Trump. Maybe then they’ll stop calling me a Nazi.

This is you proving the point made by the comic.

I did not call you racist.

But you’re using the same argument they’re using. I don’t see what I misinterpreted here, it’s literally identical to the comic.

It doesn’t get better than this though https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/charachorder/the-master-forge-a-keyboard-built-for-you

…he literally said firefox was better than most in the post? I don’t understand why you believe mozilla to be above criticism just because they’re better than google

and why bother criticizing a company so laughably awful as google, try saying you use chrome on a post, everyone will recommend you switch.

Signal being centralized just ruins it compared to matrix.
