Hey Hexbear, if you’re dropping by, let me know when Russian and Chinese workers seize the means of production.
In the meantime I’m sitting here oppressed in Norway.
Polling says that Norway is #7 happiest country on Earth. Finland is #1, Denmark is #2…I wonder where China is on that list OwO
Bruh, we have oppressed people in Norway. Did you forget that our own supreme court ruled that some of our wind mills at Fosen are in violation of UN law of civil and political rights (source in Norwegian). That was two years ago and they are still standing, which is especially bad due to the historical repression and attempts at ethnic cleansing of Sámi people in Norway, that was going on for a disturbingly long time. Now, as a quick caveat I will add that on a global scale we are doing pretty alright. However, that you are fortunate and well, for which I am glad, does not mean that the sentiment of the meme is wrong. Since the 70s much of the good systems we built have been demolished by laissez-faire politics and politicians, like your beloved “Jern-Erna”, lowering corporate taxes and allowing for privatization of public services (our railway system, healthcare and so on). I also don’t think many people from Hexbear are deluded enough to believe in imminent revolution in Russia nor conflating the Russian government with the Communist Party of China (though I might suspect you do), making your comment either worthless or in bad faith (we both know it is both). Either way, I support seizing the means of production and voted for my convictions today. Even though I believe I probably fundamentally disagree with you, I hope you did too. Leave the “all communists are tankie fascists” idea at home please. It only makes you look ignorant and a bad representative for our nice little country.

Damn, that’s a crazy red scare into yellow peril combo.
Not hexbear but aren’t you Norwegians an oppressive oil state? You guys were bombing brown people for fun a couple of years back. Isn’t Stoltenburg one of your guys? He just admitted to intentionally provoking the Russian invasion.
You what now?
Oh look! A commie!
Say hi when you meet our little black sparrow-sized drones. All you have to do to earn a visit is mention how we fucked over the Sami, we really don’t like those things. Oh, and don’t insult Jern-Erna if she gets back in power, she’ll divebomb you and leave nothing but a crater. Say what you will about Støre, he’s a soggy twig.
Please never defederate commies! It’s hilarious! 😆
I have to admit, their propaganda game is on point
It def adds some flavor to the social media political scene
Quite refreshing to see extreme right-wing fuming over actual extreme left-wing, instead of the moderate left-wing they are used to.
The pig should shut up. It’s time to wake up the sheep.
I love to start the day with a little bit of revolution and freshly smoked bacon.
fuck off tankie
I smell smoke, but do I smell bacon?

Every day since the 19th century…any day now
Pretty hilarious to see a guy from a capitalist shithole that’s tearing itself apart acting all smug. Never gets old.
As hilarious as seeing a guy from a capitalist country fantasising over a fake communist country
I love how being able to criticize a country you live in is hilarious for you. Says a lot about you really. Doubly hilarious that you think China is fake communist. It’s such an important cope for westies, cause accepting that a communist country does everything better than your beloved capitalism is a hard pill to swallow.
Fucking hell mate, do you not get irony?
Go criticise the CCP in China and see what happens
I can call the UK govt cunts all day without getting on a list or a visit before the Tory conference
And if it’s going so well, why have they stopped publishing youth unemployment rates???
Hint, the last set said youth unemployment was at 21.3%
China is a capitalist country, why else would they be buying western companies?

My favorite part about you is just how aggressively wrong you are about everything. For example let’s just dissect this bit of sheer nonsense:
And if it’s going so well, why have they stopped publishing youth unemployment rates???
Youth unemployment in China is… perfectly line with youth unemployment in Europe https://www.statista.com/statistics/613670/youth-unemployment-rates-in-europe/
And if you bothered actually reading the shit you post, you’d find out that it counts youth unemployment from the age of 16. Being shocked at the fact that kids are going to school instead of working is of course nothing to be surprised about when talking to a capitalism enjoyer.

This is such a hilraiously reductive understanding of what a capitalist country is. Using your “logic”, UK is a communist country because you still have public healthcare for now.
Lol, it’s in line with basket cases like Greece and Spain. The average is 10% below China’s
Now go look at Chinas property market that’s about to implode.
Check out their deflation risk while you’re at it.
And if you bothered actually reading the shit you post, you’d find out that it counts youth unemployment from the age of 16
Because they’re not in school you fucking moron, they’re unemployed.
Using your “logic”, UK is a communist country because you still have public healthcare for now.
No Tankard, social policies != communism
you keep on coping there little buddy, you’ll need the practice going forward
Love how ya’ll are still coping with the fact that your color revolution failed.
Not sure what point you’re trying to make there to be honest. I’m guessing you’re trying to create some emotional appeal there, but we can find pictures of western regimes committing far worse atrocities today. In fact, US regime alone is responsible for over 300 million deaths https://nyupress.org/9781583679890/endless-holocausts/
I’m south african. My government has the means of production for electricity seized (they own Eskom which has a monopoly.) It is well known that while the regular person has to deal with load shedding, the government officials do not
Add the issues with South African Airways and I would not like all the means of production to be owned by the government
Trust me, you don’t want those amenities in the hands of unelected greedy business men either.
Load shedding is still better than not having any electricity at all because it isn’t profitable enough to manage the power net in your region.
At least the greedy business men have a business to run. The politicians just get bailed out and spend it on luxury cars
should be owned by the people
I trust those people even less

You mean by completely disregarding the power net and other social securities?
Amen brother
You live in a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, i.e. a liberal democracy where the bourgeoisie (owners of the means of production) dictate the laws.
State owned companies work for the interests of the ruling class, in this case the bourgeoisie, so you can bet it is subsidized by the people and the ruling class (and their businesses) benefit off it. (Socializing losses and privatizing profits)
If it was owned by say Elon Musk, it wouldn’t be any different for the regular working class people. Only the relations between the bourgeoisie may change.
Reminds me of animal farm
Is this a memes community? Or a soviet shit hole? I escaped reddit because it was shit and the ultra gatekeeping communists shitfaces, I hate to leave lemmy because of this as well, not many capitalists around this site -_-
I’m deeply sorry that we don’t like supporting the oppression of marginalized groups here
Yes, as if communism doesnt support opressing literally everyone, you western “communists” are really special aren’t ya?
Love how you just assume I’m from the west. I’m eastern european, my family is also, and we lived through everything - and I’ve yet to meet someone other than western investors and young kids who thinks things are good/better now
I’m genuinely curious - what do you think communism is? There’s been a lot of definitions over the years and a lot of confusion over the subject, so I’m really interested to hear what do people such as yourself think communism really is that makes them hostile to the idea.
Myself? I like the dictionary definition of communism.
I’m short, worker enfranchisement and abolition of the commodity form.
Edit: Look at the definitely intellectually honest morons downvoting the dictionary definition of communism.
