@ivereadalltheory @CharmingOwl yes MLs are authoritarian, im not sure why this surprises you. Engels wrote about authority quite a lot and id reccomend giving his work ‘on authority’ a look; its at most a ten minute read

tho i have seen my fare share of poor takes coming out of lemmy

@MrSangrief @yogthos uhh why is socialism boosting this? holodomor was right wing propaganda even in its own day and i can guarentee putin isnt trying to bring back the ussr but instead the tsarist empire before it

@yogthos tge only thing i didnt like about the article is it seemed to yhink us millennials are choosing to live this way when the reality is, we’re being forced into it

@yogthos after reading the article im only left asking “so when does amerca collapse?”

@agamemnonymous continueing the thread. you stated the issue was marketing being terrible. i dont actually think thats the case. talk to practically anyone below the age of 40 and almost unanimously they’ll tell you they hate capitalism and thats the starting point. for example i wound up on the far left thabks in part to youtube videos relating to xlimate change and then linking to further and further left wing channels.

i think at this point its more about patiently explaining the position

@agamemnonymous over all i have to disagree with the premise of what your proposing here. i do get your point about the more socialist terminology being scary to most american, especially older more reactionary ones; but i also dont thats who we should be talking to

the reason i disagree with premise is becuase i think it makes things too easy to completely distort their meanings into something completely reactionary. yes lets choose a different word for bourgeois

@Jaximus @dingus yes, you revolt cuz at that point thats all thats left

@yogthos no wonder i keep choosing Firefox
