Copyparty is not that known I guess.

I love baking biscuits but is a good gateway to moving to baking bread… and space cake.

When you colour 80% of all bike lanes orange the defence that a driver didn’t know it was a bike lane becomes moot.

I’m not talking about trust, I mean two enclosed single bicycle lanes that merge at a bicycle crossing before entering an enclosed 2 way bicycle lane.

Ugg it’s obvious that conversation on this platform has no merit when people can downvote you without reason and total anonymity. It creates the perfect environment for theories of a meddling of 50c army or similar, with no meaningful inclusion.

Mods are doing too little against this cult like behaviour.

The dutch solved this by colouring the bike lane orange. Yes occasionally we add bollards but the entrances to 2 lanes often end/start in protected intersections

I personally have found it to be dangerous to talk about socialism without knowing if the person is a staunch ML or can converse about their critics.

Like wise if the ownership of the socialism definition and revisionism like Democratic Socialism, Anarchic Socialism is associated or excluded.

Stepping into socialist theory it seemed like Manifesto of the Communist Party was the one and only way, joining lemmy.ml seemed to reaffirm that but then one listens to Socialists from a different media thier ideas are far less strict. I’m assuming they’ve read other books and pamphlets by other people.

Classic Stazi - yes any form of criticism of Marx’s socialism must be stamped out and silenced

Sorry I should have used effectively, being ideological about democratic centralism is nice until you find yourself organising a workers demonstration against one.

Every single piece of information Marx Lenin Mao Stalin points to: the replacement of power of any method a worker has, in a capitalist democracy and migrate it after the revolution to a state held apparatus above which the flawed democratic-centralism takes grasp to hold absolute power. At which point strengthening a secret police is all that’s needed to let fascism in from the back door. At least Mussolini stated his intentions from the beginning.

The whole mass of the people must take part in it. Otherwise, socialism will be decreed from behind a few official desks by a dozen intellectuals.

workers ownership of the means of production

Great lets try that out; how much ownership do you think a worker has over the means of production, without the ability to choose a union not pre-appointed by the state?

Communism (not DemSoc) is an economic system where a government essentially owns the population ruled by an autocrat, under the veil of a single union. The ML way of democratic centralism completely fails when the opposition is blocked from voting which assures total enforced hegemony.

Independent unions are illegal in China with only the All-China Federation of Trade Unions(ACFTU) permitted by the Chinese state and the Chinese Communist Party to operate.

This doesn’t sound like a good idea.

In bad faith would be acting as if I was a Communist and then twisting the argument to undermine ML

As a user with a red rose as icon and not of a *.ml server it is on you for assuming that I am a ML.

On the other hand I find it to be bad faith to follow Russian oligarch news networks then call oneself a Communist or use the atrocities of west to bothsides or even dismiss those of countries donning the hammer and sickle.

To interject I’m really enjoying this conversation with you we’re mostly keeping things civil

While I obviously don’t have much knowledge on American history I can tell that an American ML’s opinion on even the word defence has other connotations to it.

On the other hand using said trauma as justification that military defence can not exist in other countries is an overreaction.

Yes that’s what happens when you have opinions that aren’t based directly off of one person.

Never!
