The spectre of communism is haunting the Fediverse

  • Americans and socialism

  • I got mine keeps meaning smaller and smaller groups of people.

    What does this mean?

  • Americans and socialism

  • How come you picked that instance over tankietube?

  • Communism in theory vs in practice

    Jump

  • How do you destroy the notion that Democrats are the good guys? Americans seem like a lost cause on that regard

  • Why do most people stay in centralized social media platforms when the Fediverse exists?

  • This sounds like a very gatekeeper and elitist mentality. Also, Lemmy is FLOSS, they can't buy it up or destroy it.

  • USA’s presidents have all been awful humans

  • If you disagree post a source that disproves, instead of defending someone that is trying to defend Washington’s slave teeth because he took advantage of slaves to “buy” their teeth. You are a white washing apologist because you are defending someone who was trying to white wash Washington in the comments. You don’t “need to know someone” to call them out on what they are explicitly doing in a comment section 🤣.

    If a racist says something racist in a comment section, you sound like the kind of person who would jump in to say “dont call them racist, you don’t know them” lmao.

    This person was trying to minimize the impact of Washington having teeth from slaves and you jump in to say “they were just arguing a questionable source” and when I say that the info is openly available you responded “Just Google it” is not a source

    You are literally just a racist apologist who wants to be a contrarian. I am done with arguing with people who try to act smart and pretends that anyone who calls them out in their bs is a child. Because calling people children is so mature /s. What you are doing is called being a patronizing contrarian.

  • Lmao, “questionable source”, you can literally Google that in 5 seconds and see all the sources that confirm that. Now I know that memes are supposed to have sources when the users can easily Google it themselves /s. The white washing apologist just get funnier and funnier.

  • Go on a seethe, cope calling me childish or whatever your manipulation tactic is, but your attempt of white washing is obvious. I am done talking to you.

  • Oh please, criticizing the meme because “the teeth were bought” Is an attempt to save his caharacter. And then saying that images with words are all dumb. People can see through your attempt of white washing.

  • Washington owned slaves. He was not some moral high ground individual. The only reason why they even got independence from Britain was that Britain wanted to stop the expansion of the territory and the people in the colonies wanted to continue it and kill all the natives.

    Edit:

    In 1784, Washington paid unnamed “Negroes” for nine teeth. We don’t know the precise circumstances, says Van Horn: “The president’s decision to pay his slaves for their teeth may have been a recognition on his part that teeth were something sacrosanct and personal.” On the other hand, being enslaved meant that any economic exchange was inherently not fair.

    He literally took advantage of enslaved people to get their teeth and you consider it as just “bought”. Top tier cracker mindset. I guess that to you it was also fair for him to own his slaves because he “bought” them.

  • Cool how does that solve USA imperialism and how it is killing socialist projects all over the world, besides you know just being an edgy anarchist?

  • Just a reminder that democrats funded a genocide and police brutality. Democrats are no better than Republicans.

  • Taxing the rich is just peanuts. Seize the means of production!

  • Workers coops is still capitalism since it is still about maximizing profits for them. Socialism is when the means of productions are own for everyone through nationalization, and through a Marxist Leninist party.
