Technically you can be an anticapitalist and still not a leftist. You could be one of those weirdo turbo conservative monarchists.

[-] Socialism_Everyday@reddthat.com 16 points 2 months ago

It's not just weird, it's materially impossible. History doesnt move according to big ideas exclusively, the main driver of history is materialism. Feudalism gave way to capitalism not because someone conceptualized capitalism and made it become real, but because the historical development of feudalism led to the primitive accumulation process of capital, the progressive appearance of a bourgeois class, and this was accelerated by western imperialism and the exploitation of resources in the global south by European powers.

Once the accumulation of capital had taken place and the main economic driver of the economy had become capitalism, it was impossible to return to feudalism, capitalism became a historical necessity. A return to feudalism is simply unfeasible.

I was mainly talking about the people being weirdos. Every monarchist I've ever run into have been extreme oddballs.

That doesn't mean there aren't people who do believe we should return to feudalism though.

Can people not understand definitions that are longer than 5 words?

I dont understand why people on lemmy are trying to remove the meaning of every specific word related to politics, leaving a million synonyms of the same general thing and no word for a specific ideology

My head-cannon of the differences

US Socialist (social democrat) - Busses should be free for everyone.

US Liberal - Free bus passes only for poor people

US Right-wing - Let the free-market decide and somehow only allow US citizens to ride busses.

The free market will decide it's actually more profitable to shut down bus service entirely and pivot to helping ICE transport bus loads of "illegal immigrants".

Every time i hear an American say anything about social democrat they are just describing a normal liberal policy.

Oh!? Well this is my head-cannon of the diffences..

US Communists - Just buses? Are you kidding me? We need at least 50k km of highspeed rail, make rail travel free for all, even tourists! And seize all gigafactories and data centers to pay for it.

US Democratic Socialist - Let's do what Europe does* and provide free bus passes next to free healthcare.

US Progressive - Let the free-market decide for men. Free bus passes only for people of minoritized identities and only if the bus will combat climate change, so diesel buses are out of the question.

US Liberal - Let the free-market decide. Free bus passes if you can prove that you're using it to go to work.

US Right-wing - Rob the poor blind! Those who don't contribute to society, should be punished for it. And no buses. If you need a ride, buy a car. If you can't afford one, then get a job you filthy commie! Also, it's the rich that contribute to society, so it should be the poor who should pay the most taxes in order to help those who keep the US economy thriving.

US fascist - Transportation should be free for everyone, but especially for the native Americans. We believe in the power of the native Americans. And this all the fault of the rich. So kill the rich, kill the rich, kill the rich.....Juice! Buses are part of their (((globalist elite))) agenda, the agenda of "you will own nothing and be happy". Look up who runs the WEF. Pay good attention to their ((( affiliations ))). So let us native Americans, who speak English and aren't brown, unite against the Khazarian (((billionaires))) and their brown globalist allies. We should provide free bus passes for non-native Americans however, under the condition that they're run by ICE and only with destinations outside of the US.


  • Very few countries in the EU provide free bus passes, so this group would actually be more to the left than EU social democrats and more close to EU socialist parties.

Future "don't make me tap the sign" material

Curse this ai slop. The fake crayon thing is really bugging me, like. Crack open a box and put a few hours in if you mean it, super accessible style

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago

There's absolutely no reason why this short, simplistic agitprop needs to be made in artisinal fashion from a Marxist perspective. Labor hours saved is valuable, and nobody is enjoying this agitprop from the perspective of artistic analysis. AI cannot replace art, but the insistence that every graphic regardless of use-case be made in artisinal fashion is reactionary.
