No, but if that’s what you have to tell yourself to avoid thinking critically about the “every man in the DPRK must have Kim Jing Un’s haircut” narrative then I guess no one can stop you.

Translation: you listened to Yeonmi Park and Falun Gong’s propaganda show, and believed them.
Yes, one where things aren’t true just because abserious-looking millionaire in a suit said them into a camera.
Engels claims organization requires authority, but it really only requires agreements, coordination, and sometimes rules; a strict hierarchy isn’t a necessary requirement for that to exist.
Yeah, horizontal organization has been very effective historically and definitely doesn’t create unspoken hierarchies that are actually far more damaging than explicit hierarchies under democratic control by the masses.
There’s definitely a single example in history you can point to of that working that won’t make everyone laugh as they post long winded essays about exactly how hierarchy was enforced in whichever organization or area you choose as an example.
The idea of a real person believing US State Department canards about places they have zero personal knowledge of is far sadder.
I think It means they liked the Wikipedia summary of the Manifesto but Capital was way too dense for them…
Well, thanks for pointing out that you don’t know the difference between a lack of term limits and AuThOrItArIaNiSm!!!1!!!one!!!
Leaders popular in their own countries tend to get re-elected, more news at 11!
And pretending “authoritarian” isn’t a useless word used to make a false equivalence between communism and fascism should be banned from life, but here we are nevertheless.
But how are landlords supposed to extort a living if there’s plentiful government built housing? Did you monsters even think about your local landleech? They might have to go get jobs if we build thousands of identical apartments all over the country and made them available for 2-3% of average incomes.
Yeah, there’s nothing authoritarian about overthrowing the entire superstructure and killing anyone who tries to stop you, what a crazy idea!
Ok, the actually rebut what he said. Should be simple if he’s wrong, shouldn’t it?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come the bacteria that make people obese don't seem to be affecting countries where there's widespread famine?
2·4 days agoBecause the actual theory is that certain bacteria in the gut biome make a person more prone to obesity both by increasing hunger signals to the brain and by changing digestive processes. It doesn’t “make calories out of thin air”.
Maybe read more of the articles than just the headlines?

2·6 days agoYou have to display some reading comprehension and intelligence to get replies that are entertaining or enlightening. When all you do is shill for the status quo and deliberately misunderstand very simple concepts so you can set up cheap comebacks, you have to expect just low effort derision, because that’s all you’re showing yourself to be worth.

2·6 days agoLol, now we all know you’ve never been to a protest.
Every time I’ve ever been tear gassed for protesting, it was a Democrat who gave the orders.

1·7 days agoInteresting. So aside from proving that you don’t know what accellerationists do or believe and that you literally cannot imagine any way to make a difference other than your quadrennial tilt at the windmills begging the ruling class for better crumbs, was there a point to your comment?

2·7 days agoSo you really did hear “voting for the polite fascists is not really better than voting for the loud ones” and take that as “don’t even bother trying”.
You, specifically, should absolutely give up and don’t bother trying.

1·7 days agoIf you hear “voting for the polite fascists is not really better than voting for the loud ones” and take that as “don’t even bother trying”, then you really may as well not bother trying, bcs nothing you were trying was ever going to help, and most of it will just strengthen the fascists.

The entirely predictable consequences of the modern secular puritanism are negative? How very shocking!
Maybe we should just discard all the sexual mores based on Bronze Age morals (including any ideas that include the notion that sex is a special or magical sphere of human activity that is different from every other) and stop obsessing about it so much, but that would be bad for priests, influencers, and advertising execs, so it obviously can’t be allowed
