What if, and hear me out on this one, the problem isn't which "-ism" is prevalent. The real problem is that ANY form of power or society needs checks and balances. If those are missing or not enforced, then everything goes to shit. It's a balancing act, not just a matter of black or white.

The whole point of Communism is to balance power away from the 1% and back to the masses. The fact that it is an "-ism" and has decades of propaganda demonozing it, doesnt make that any less true.

By installing a dictator...every time it's attempted...

Maybe not do that next time and try doing it from the bottom up instead of top-down🏴. It's much more work to convince people that this is a solution and have them help willingly instead of forcing them to go along with it. We tried the Marxist-Leninist way dozens of times, let's try the anarchist way. A capitalist boot or a communist boot on my neck makes no difference to me, it's still a boot on my neck.

Pls keep your talkie bulshit out of the meme subs. You may be right with this one, but this still isn't a political sub, so just don't.

"Get politics out of my entertainment" is a literal nazi talking point.

[–] TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

Tf? Politics are currently pretty difficult and I am spending way to much of my time discussing it. Excuse me for just wanting to see a few bad memes on a meme sub and not slide into the next discussion. I don't even know what to answer to bullshit like this. You know what also was "literal nazi talking point"? Food. Sex. Drugs. After all they are still human and a human is defined by more than just their ideology.

This has to be one of the most horrible tower I have ever seen. Well, every big tower like those are horrible. What, you want big towers like that ? You think that's how we fix the housing crisis ? Not really..

What is good ubanism then ? 4 to 5 story building max, mixed use, no cars, 5minutes walk to everything you need, great architecture so it's nice to walk in the neighborhood. That's what we need. We want human scale, not some horrible bullshit like this. That's not a city, it's a nightmare. That's not beautiful, that's depressing. That's not great architecture, that's just some concrete box stacked on top of each other. If this is what you want, read about ubanism. If you think this is beautiful, you probably have horrible taste. And if you think that's needed, well, that would be like applying a bandaid on someone that lost his legs. We need a fucking surgery to fix our cities, not that bullshit "let's build horrible concrete tower that will ruin the land for decades.l, because housing crisis".
