Sure I'll think about them, as soon as they cede all their wealth and give their companies to the workers.

Educate, agitate, organize. They will never do this willingly.

I'm pretty well educated on marxist theory already, but I'll always take more book recommendations!

Just a reminder, if you think what happened on DDD Day was murder and not self defense, you don't have a problem with violence, you just hate when poor people do it.

[–] clickyello@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

a quick Google turned up nothing useful, what is DDD Day?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 79 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I guess this past Wednesday is unofficially Deny Defend Depose Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Brian_Thompson

Oh god. I was reading through the page and this gem was down in the section on the response from healthcare companies:

Another executive was quoted saying "What's most disturbing is the ability of people to hide behind their keyboards and lose their humanity."

Says the people who hide behind keyboards, phone calls, employees, doctors, guards, police as they hurt people they don't know. Talk about losing your humanity.

they've become like politicians or lawyers or police or soldiers who don't care about the damage they've inflicted on millions of people's lives and believe that what they're doing is justified because it's for some "greater good" and never mind that the people they're harming were never part of that greater good.

Nationalize:

  • insurance
  • hospitals
  • prisons
  • public transit

It's perfectly possible to have your capitalist desires and still have a nice socialist structure to protect the people.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 26 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Housing should be on that list as well

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago (13 children)

From my experience living in a very socialist country; fair housing can be handled by rules instead of 'nationalizing'. So the rules and pricing around them would be handled by the government, but not the houses themselves.

A big one I'm missing is schools.

I just want dental insurance to be included in basic health insurance plans for all. Nothing too radical.

Just a reminder but the bourgeoisie are the "middle class", and that the CEO who was killed is part of a capitalist oligopoly.

The bourgeoisie haven't been targeted here, an aristocrat has.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 40 points 9 months ago

Aristocrats were an offshoot of feudalism, the bourgeoisie are the Capital Owners. The "middle class" is the petite bourgeoisie, who are Capital Owners that must labor, ie small business owners. This was the bourgeoisie, not an aristocrat.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 35 points 9 months ago (4 children)

The aristocrats were largely disposed of via bourgeois revolution. Now there is a haute bourgeoisie, like Brian Thompson (net worth >$40M), and a shrinking petite bourgeoisie, A.K.A. the middle class.

I don't condone the murder of the CEO of a healthcare insurance company who reject 32% of claims.....

But I understand.

The ones that simp the hardest for the dead CEO were calling anyone who didn't love Netanyahu's genocide a trumper.
