Me every time I hang out with my communist friend. But well I just say slap me harder daddy.

I'm not a Marxist. Just because we share alot of the same ideas and wants we differ in some major ways.

The important thing though is we both hate Nazis and Capitalists. Let's just focus on that instead of attacking eachother for the small shit we can deal with later.

However, if you wanna play the America bad Russia good or China good card you can fuck right back off to your hole. They all fuckin suck.

What is your reason for disliking capitalism?

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The constant drive to expand and grow, ultimately consuming everything around them.

Like fuck My industry has basically been bought up by one or two corps, things inevitably become monopolistic without proper intervention.

Don't get me wrong

While I'm lucky to work for a company that's managed to stay independent even then they keep pulling shit trying to be cheap because it's about money not the customer.

I've been seeding everyone with ideas of unionizing 😂

What are the major ways in which you differ from a marxist?

Oooh! Oooh! Are we being brigaded? So exciting! Many of the posts seem to have been of critical, fascist bent, but I wasn't sure until now.

Or maybe this is genuinely a bad take 🤷🏽‍♂️
