  • My point is that even in community based organizations you still have human administrators who have to make decisions for the community which ultimately leads to corruption of the system. That’s what my original argument was.

    Edit: will go ahead and add that the same thing happens in capitalism however the huge difference is that there any many capital owners to distribute resources (ie companies, corporations, the state) VS in communism it is only the state that distributes the resources.

  • You could easily replace “Eastern Europe” with the West and and make the same point about capitalism

    I’m not out here being a capitalist Stan, just pointing out this meme is weak

  • Thanks for the reply and I hear what you’re saying however I think the issue with that argument is that each federated community still has centralized admins with authority. For example Ruud at lemmy world could wake up one day and impose some crazy shit. Or he could give his friends better moderating positions than others, etc.

  • Someone correct me if I’m wrong but if you boil it all down communism is when the state acts as a central power to decide how to allocate wealth and resources to the people. Does anyone here actually think you could trust the state ever ever ever to do this right? You can’t trust a centralized power no matter how much they claim to be of the people. It’s not that the state is inherently evil, it’s that humans are incredibly biased and flawed.

  • This is a fantastic point. Thank you for adding it to the discussion.

  • Good thought. I will think about this next time I’m in the shower.

  • I think possibly that you are NOT

  • Ohio is a cosmic motif throughout space-time. You could travel across the universe and find a place that looks like Ohio. Also it fucking sucks.

  • Bro get your artichoke off the nuc

  • Your comment is lazy and lacks serious empathy. The lady was murdered with a razor blade to the throat because some fucking guy thought she was transgender. And the other guy was stabbed for standing up for his friend a transgender person.
