cmon we just want capitalism to die already 🥺
- Lol bro most of us want capitalism to die, but not to just replace it with another authoritarian regime
  
  Libertarian socialism
  
  Capitalism cannot be killed by any political movement unwilling to repress Capitalists. Look at the state of Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism the world over, and how in every borgeois democracy it is losing ground to fascism, and either accept the truth or bury your head in the sand.
  
  socialism is, by definition, more democratic than any capitalist regime because it can't work if people don't want it. it also provides an excellent framework for overthrowing capitalism.
  if not that, then what do you want it replaced with?
  
  This conversation is great.
  (in case it does not load there is a picture in this reply)
  
  I agree with the dog. So I must like this right?
  
  that just means you will be completely ineffective.
  
  to falling to propoganda
  
  ... or snapping out of it. seriously, if you live in the US you have Hollywood right by your doorstep. take a moment to investigate leftism further than what their common sense is, and you will see its nothing like that. also note not i'm not saying its perfect either, but we are constantly learning.
  the owner class engages in class warfare whether we decide to believe in it or not.
  
  anti communist
  uses edgelord slurs
  Not beating the reactionary allegations.
- No, a lot of users, especially on Lemmygrad, support Russia and their invasion, for example. Hexbear supports China's dictator. Most .ml I've interacted with are also on Russia's side.
  Don't act like the only thing is anti-capitalism. That'd be fine. It's everywhere on the fediverse. No, those instances stand apart for a reason, and you know that.
  
  china is not a dictatorship. russia is better than the US.
  
  russia is better than the US
  Sorry, that's just objectively wrong. Both are bad, but Russia is nowhere close to the us.
  
  wtf are you talking about. does russia get anywhere CLOSE to this?
  please scroll though that list and let it sink in on the absolutely cruel evil shit the US has been doing for the last century or so.
  
  Oh yeah, the soviet union nevvvvvver involved themselves in coups. That's something only evil westerners do.
  (Please don't looked at the history of Africa, or southern/southeat Asia during the cold war.
  
  the soviet union has ended 30 years ago and its internationalist policies stopped way before that.
  
  Trust me, I've been following this stuff as well. I am no fan of america, but saying its better than russia is just objectively bad.
  
  America is way more democratic.
  
  and i'm literally on the receiving end of US and european imperialism. the US sponsored a brutal military dictatorship in my country and on most of our neighbours, and still sponsors the plundering of our natural resources and workforce. shit, they tried to put a dictator in power in here recently, we barely escaped.
  modern-day russia doesn't have as much influence throughout the world, nor does it have as bloody military by a big margin.
  
  What the U.S did was terrible, obviously.
