Funny, true, and also for every other Ideology ;)

Came her to say this. I'm not defending the "Communists", but the sands cold be said about the US. Replace dictator with oligarchy. It's actually closer to fascism.

Corporations are perfect dictatorships. If someone doesn't like something, then get rid of them, and replace them. Corporations also benefit from crony capitalism's socialism for the wealthy. Low or no taxes. Corporate personhood, etc.

Thanks for putting it in scare quotes. Communism, while an overly idealistic ideology, is not what was going on in Stalin's USSR.

Fascism = government + corporations. ~ Mussolini

ie. the CORPORATOCRACY

We need MOAR worker co-ops, aka worker directed enterprises.

Exactly this.

Co-ops = social capitalism

State controlled capitalism, same thing as the 'western world' except we only (try to) police it when it's about child/human trafficking and drugs in the slums. China just goes a a bit further.

I was kidding. Red flag.

I've read the new weapon, a means to kill channels, is to place a single 'icky' comment, then youtube reacts, protecting the community by apparently shutting creators comment sections down.

How much of it is going on, I don't know, watched a video on it earlier.
