Also TIL Sean O'Brian is real and president of the Teamsters. Wiki link
Something something reality is a Holodeck simulation
The most based episode of trek.
I mean, slew?? It's slayed. C'mon.
Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, Act 3, Scene 2: "As Cæsar loved me, I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was valiant, I honor him: but, as he was ambitious, I slew him." http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.03.0027%3Aact%3D3%3Ascene%3D2
Slain
It could be slain if it was worded differently. But no, it isn't slain in that sentence
*looks at my post
Looks at your post*
Where? What? Huh?
Oh I tried to reply to the op
My man! Also, wow, this meme really has levels. It's based on a quote from another episode of DS9 where Worf explains that the Klingons killed their gods millennia ago
We love our union man <3
Bar Association is my favourite DS9 episode, Rom quoting Marx and Quark recoiling like a vampire confronted with garlic is top tier
Just cued it up b/c I can't remember it. Thanks.
a classic I've been introduced to by r/RedshirtsUnite
O'Brian threw hands with Worf for crossing a picket line. Not even TNG "KO'd by a blue barrel" Worf, he picked a fight with DS9 Worf, who beat Gowron in a duel.
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.
If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.
Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low-quality!
0. Only post socialist memes
That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)
1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here
Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.
2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such
That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.
3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.
That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).
4. No Bigotry.
The only dangerous minority is the rich.
5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.
(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention "Mantic Minotaur" when answering question 2)
6. Don't idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.
