  • You must think that humans are inherently greedy and/or are projecting what you would do in a scenario where you're part of a worker co-op. Most workplaces aren't worth millions. Most folks who round themselves in a worker co-op would most likely try to better the operation for everyone.

  • Actual workers. If we made a society where people are taken care of, we'd find most folks would be enthusiastic about their work. Saying "people don't want to work" is often taken at face value when the reality is that most people do want to work, because it helps them feel a sense of purpose. They don't, however, want to be exploited/work under capitalism because that is soul crushing.

  • I knew that .ml stand for "Marxist-Lenninist" and now that I realize the other lem thought .ml meant it's being hosted in Malaysia I'm cracking up. That's a fun mishap.

  • That's a pretty valid reason, I'll have to look into it more as I already created an account on .ml. While I do call myself an anarchist/communist, I don't zealously jump at the defense of a government without nuancing the situation.

  • But it would make the Lemmy Civil War so much cooler! Think about it.

    "After BeeHaw defederated, several federalists from the Lemmy World Federation, Lemmy ML Federation, and more, have conducted raids on the BeeHawvists."

  • Can I ask what worries you about it being hosted on Malaysia?

  • I know "lemmings" is catching on but what if we go for "federalists" because it sounds cool?

  • Honestly. Avatars? Coins? Awards? I just wanted to stay up to date with the world and have conversations with people about it every once in a while.

  • I swear every problem in the modern world is like two degrees separated from capitalism.
