Sorry, what is even happening in the last panel? Why does this art look so weird when you look at the people closely? Was this picture AI generated?

[-] Prontomomo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Yup, it’s all AI, at least the images and copyright.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 7 points 2 weeks ago

Copying my own comment from when this was posted last year:

Every time I see this quaint but misleading image reposted it's necessary to make the same comment: the words attached to each image are do not exclusively represent those images. "Equality" could apply to all but the first; nobody uses "equity" this way; and most people use "justice" to refer to criminal justice and punishment.

This ai generated crap does less than nothing to promote communism.

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I have seen this drawing many years ago, I don't think this is AI generated.

capitalism: nuking the tree to mine for lithium

ai slop with ai generated citation text...

[-] rowdy@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Wow I almost didn’t catch it - you’re right, it is slop. Sorry you’re being downvoted.

[-] Tracaine@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Communism will never, has never and can never work on a large scale.

[-] naeap@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, because authoritarian systems always fail, without exception

The only real solution is to remove authority and bring society to adult level - better the other way round though.

[-] bastion@feddit.nl 0 points 1 week ago

remove adults and bring all the kids to the authoritarian level. Check.

Marxism is anti-utopian, it's based on analyzing how societies evolve over time. What is deemed "authoritarianism" is the need for the proletariat to exert its control over the bourgeoisie, rather than the reverse, yet bourgeois rule is more authoritarian.

[-] Gsus4@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That's fine in theory, until the party starts calling everything it sees as a potential opposition or threat to itself and any attempts to adapt to the times "burgeois".

Until you guys create a clear set of rules to permit gradual evolution, dissenting voices, protecting the rights of the individual and political opposition, while preventing things like cult of personality, nobody is getting on that ride again.

(oh wait, there is another ride like that but for the nation instead of the proletariat, it's called fascism...and everybody is getting on it...again)

[-] Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 week ago

Yes, because rule by the bourgeois will always tend towards a more authoritarian level than Socialism.

[-] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Neither can capitalism. But communism is incompatible with war.

Are you counting defensive wars against capitalist colonizers, fascist invasions, and uprisings against oppressive puppet regimes and tyrants?

[-] bastion@feddit.nl 1 points 1 week ago

Always the victim. Get back to your struggle sessions, and hope the target isn't you.

[-] kazaika@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Everyone can be a tyrant or a puppet if you think different enough

[-] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

I like how everyone's response so far is "words have no meaning"

[-] kazaika@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Because its true, have you ever seen a war where the sides dont blame each other at the end? Any reasoning given is just hot air as long as the actions dont line up. Udssr said they had to fight the capitalists but proceeded to build the biggest bomb ever created, which is clearly a tool for mass muder and not targeted warfare (tsar bomb - 50mt)

[-] Justas@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Where is the justice for everyone that Stalin killed by sending them to gulags? To Siberia? Where is the justice for those killed by Khmer Rouge?

[-] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

The US is capitalist and has greater gulags than Russia ever could and regularly kills and enslaves millions.

[-] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 week ago

We all know that capitalism is bad. It doesn't automatically make communism good.

[-] 5too@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Whataboutism doesn't answer the question.

[-] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

Sure it does. Hypocrisy has to be eliminated from the equation first.

[-] 5too@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No, it responds to the question. Waiting for a perfect hero before calling out problems is an excellent way to enable all kinds of atrocities.

[-] teppa@piefed.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Do we get to steal all the boomers houses in this last scenario, are we going full Mao?

The central committee decreed that the orchard was to be collectivized, and many ladders built and distributed. But when the trees belong to everyone they belong to nobody, and that is who is motivated to care for them. So there would be no apples that year, only tears.

Because community gardens always get destroyed ...

[-] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Community gardens still divide the space into individual plots. If I grow a bunch of jalapeño peppers on my plot then it’s not cool if you just come along and harvest them all.

A hobby operated by volunteers isn't load-bearing. Forced collectivization invariably leads to disaster.
