Capitalism /= corporate takeover.

Socialism /= "we're all in this together."

Q is a pressure valve to neutralize potential revolutionaries by making them think it's being done for them.

If you feel you are ruled by the rich and their dollar, perhaps you're angry that you willingly put on the Rich's Collar.

You're whining about the color your parents painted your bedroom instead of getting a job and moving out.

Sucker.

wtf? OP never had said anything related to that. All you did was expand on the same points a little while choosing a side. Nothing of any meaningful value from your reply. Maybe you were better off saying the boot-strap thing that is usually vomited around by your sides. Sucker

His shitpost received a shitpost. There's nothing meaningful to be derived from any of this.

Certainly not with your shit-posting. And did you just assume someone's gender?

Now to contribute something of actual value: I'll start off by mentioning that the solution to the conflict between communism and capitalism is somewhere in the middle. So romanticizing or completely negating any ideals of these two sides is folly. Respect them both and galvanize forward in a unique way. Should be easy to do in a virtual template with unlimited imagination and theoretical possibilities.

Maybe if socialists did something worthwhile. But no. They bitch and moan and when do they ever practice what they preach? They are almost 100% negative. When was the last time they had something pleasant to say about Americans? Nigga please.

"All in this together" LOL. Come off it, the far left absolutely despises Americans. The Western Right's outgroup is people who aren't Westerners. but the Western Left's outgroup is the Right: http://archive.is/QRJ6m

This is my biggest gripe with socialists. In a libertarian capitalist country, socialists are totally free to create a socialist sub-community. There is absolutely nothing stopping them from getting cheap land and forming a commune. Communes like The Farm already exist, and there are countless millionaire socialists (such as Bernie Sanders) who would have the means to fund them.

But despite having the freedom and the means available, most socialists have no interest in doing the hard work themselves. Either out of laziness or sheer desire for dominance, they instead appeal to the State to compel unwilling people to provide them with the things they want.

I have to give credit where credit is due - socialists are amazing at activism, public messaging, and institution capture. Everyone who is not a socialist should learn from socialists if they want to win over the public. But socialists suck (either intentionally or unintentionally) at actually getting what they want done by themselves. They hate it, and can only hope authoritarian forces will step in to force others to do what they want. That's why I can't respect them, outside of the few who are willing to form things like communes and try to accomplish their goals through their own work rather than taking the work of others.

By the way, that SlateStarCodex article is amazing. I've read it before but it changed the way I think about so many things. Thank you for linking it.

The following article (and other articles by the same author on the Status451 website) may also interest you a lot, and it's even more topical about the modern far left, how it functions, and how it can be effectively messaged against. Please read it and let me know what you think: https://status451.com/2017/11/11/radical-book-club-what-righties-can-do/

Yes it's a seminal essay that hits the nail on the head. We are The Other to them. That's why they pull shit like defend Biden's rape allegations without batting an eye. Please spread it around, but use the archive link, the author hates getting linked from internet discussions.

I'll check out your link, thanks.

While Q is fake, OP is the dumber mother fucker for believing what he does.

Modern day leftism is propped up around 2 things; 0 self-responsibility and conflicting goals. We've seen it time and time again. So, let's start with self-responsibility.

Get pregnant? Well, you should be allowed to have sex! It's not your fault, just get an abortion. Gotta fund Planned Parenthood even thought They have more than enough money to donate millions to democrat candidates Your body your choice!

Black man arrested for drug crime? Well, that's institutionalized racism. It's not your fault for doing something illegal, it's whities.

Corporations are evil and shouldn't exist. Meanwhile, they're private companies and can do whatever they want. Leftists love protecting corporations nowadays and they all know the left are useful idiots who they can use as a shield and milk as a cow. The companies once attacked by Occupy Wallstreet are now using these same people as an army just by throwing some rainbows around.

I need 15 dollars an hour. Also, we need to import tons of immigrants. When your parents and grandparents say that in their days, they could've bought a house and supported a family on 1 income, they weren't lying. You can thank feminism for the current state of things. When women were massively brought into the workforce, there was an oversupply of labor since the labor pool just about doubled. When there's a bigger supply of labor than demand, employers can give lower wages since someone will do it for cheaper, and wages can stagnate since if you're unhappy and leave, once again, they can hire someone for cheaper. Not to mention the desire to increase the labor pool more with immigrants. Illegals take low paying jobs which effects the left's beloved black community the most. You'll never hear them talk about that. Also let's not forget how many middle class jobs are being sold out to India via H1B1 for pennies since, like I mentioned earlier, corporations = good for supporting immigrants.

Not even going to mention how the left's love for Islam, Minorities, Queers, and Feminism are all self destructive since the groups all hate each other with one of those groups ready to kill the other 3.

Modern day leftism is ultimately a power grab and an attempt for lazy people to keep being lazy.

Keep fighting your neigbour while the banks rob you blind. Red V Blue ftw. Good luck with that.

I've just joined saidit, and the reason is that Reddit is dead. It is now a mindless echo chamber or corporate and government propaganda.

I asked a user on Reddit how they defined a 'source'. They said a source is a document from or related to a government or corporation. I replied that a source is a person, always. They replied that that's a whistleblower.

Reddit is full of astroturfers preventing anyone sharing their own thoughts if they relate to governments or corporations. Every idea must come from a source. Thinking isn't allowed. You'll be trolled if you dare to express your own thoughts.

OP's title was programmed without their knowledge. Worshipers. Qtards. Try explaining something in your own words. I know you can't. LOL

[–]FreeJulianAssange 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yes it's always the other that is programmed and you that have the secret true knowledge. Nothing better to safeguard the ego.

It’s possible to have been programmed and to have at least partially escaped it, but that’s not you.

Another left/right bitch fest, never talk about accountability or lack of....class almost never gets factored in, almost like you'll to scared to go there.

And while you're here bickering, the rich are still getting richer. Divide and conquer.

Is saidit mostly a bunch of gullible Qtards and short sighted shallow capitalism worshipers?

Yes. The reddit thought police is here too.

I totally agree. Socialism is the next step in the evolution, such as capitalism was to feudalism.

Op is right, but that is Americans for you. They are so indoctrinated with McCarthyism that they would be against free bread when they are starving.

Now with Corona we in Europe have so much more stability because of our safetynets.

But we will have to live with that. It will take decades for the americans to stop shooting themselves in the foot, proudly proclaiming that they are so much better off without decent healthcare at double the price Europeans pay.

But muh communism ....
