Read Marx, everyone, especially people that don't think they need to.

I would like to add David Graeber to that, and Kropotkin even. I don't mean to start a snowball effect that turns this into a huge list, but I feel like not enough people (especially the average person) know about them; especially Graeber who is a lot more modern.

Kropotkine was a sweetie.

Communism A system of government where the country's wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the news media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

Oh wait. that's capitalism. I don't know how I got those two systems confused.

Long-windedness is the soul of wit.

I disagree, I think socialism can and will beat capitalism eventually.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

This meme isn't saying Socialism will not prevail. Rather, it's saying that even though Socialists can't individually beat Capitalism right now, as Capitalism decays Socialists increase in number and Capitalists weaken in strength, making Socialist victory more probable over time.

And a strongman dictator usually beats socialism

true the world's capitalist countries are not susceptible to this

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yes, the socialists have definitely been winning this epic fight.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

The point of the meme is that as Capitalism deteriorates, and it must deteriorate, more Workers become aligned with Leftists and at some point there will be a shift from quantitative to qualitative, ie at some level there will be a dramatic change, like the boiling point of water.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Cool cool. LMK

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

So much winning
