OurToothbrush, to memes in Know your enemy

They provide the materials, the tools and machinery, the designs that are being made (assuming some sort of manufacturing company for this example).

Other workers made the materials, the tools, the machinery, and the designs. If the owner did they occupy a class position as a worker and owner.

They also carry the risk (unless of course they are a corporation, the ridiculous entity created to reap the advantages of personhood while avoiding all its responsibilities and drawbacks).

The risk that they might be a worker if their venture fails.

You’ve misread the meme. It is claiming that

the majority of your labor value is stolen by the same company paying you the crumbs

Literally none of your sources definitively claim it was a genocide except the university of Minnesota one which cites Davies and Applebaum who later says it wasn’t.

Also lol, you use Wikipedia, a random university of Minnesota webpage, KellogInsight, and I dont even know where you got your last source but it literally cites Wheatcroft and Davies amongst others who do not argue it was a genocide after examining the soviet archives.

Gonna tell me how the Holocaust was a lie too?

No, the holocaust is a well documented historical fact, unlike the holodomor. The soviet wide famine of 1932 and 33 is a well documented historical fact, it is also not considered a genocide by mainstream anticommunist historians, who argue to what extent soviet policies and which policies worsened the famine.

Also ironic that you ask “do you also deny the holocaust” given the holodomor myth was used as justification to kill Jewish people during the holocaust and was later used as justification for collaboration with the holocaust.

Here is a well respected Jewish historian and activist on it:

Or you can stop crying yourself a river, roll up your sleeves, and get to work on doing something about it. To make the best of you’ve got and work on improving the parts of life you aren’t satisfied with one step at a time with a relatively clear and focused end goal in mind.

The internationale gradually fades in

OurToothbrush, to memes in Its getting old.

Lol you’re using a statistical model that isnt capable of discerning meaning to try to disprove mainstream academics like Conquest and Wheatcroft.

ChatGPT isn’t designed to say correct things, it is designed to put a bunch of letters together that are in the general shape of an essay assignment for highschoolers. This is comical.

Please note that the last book it cites(which doesn’t exist, in fact I dont think any of the books cited actually exist) is credited to Robert Conquest, and he says that the ukrainian famine was not a genocide.

OurToothbrush, to memes in rules for thee, but not for me

They in this case being the fucking nazis, who first came for the trans people, and then the communists, the socialists, the trade unionists, Jewish people, etc

OurToothbrush, to memes in Sure. Why not. Anything goes.

What books have you read on the economy of fascism and on the economy of the DPRK? Are you uninformed and wrong or misinformed and wrong?

OurToothbrush, (edited ) to memes in oh no Germany what is u doin

Yes, quite literally. They understand what’s at stake for society as well or better than anyone on the planet right now.

Really? More than jewish holocaust survivors and their descendents? Get a fucking grip.

It is embarrassing that anyone upvoted this nonsense.

They’re also a good example of how deradicalization efforts can be effective, not perfect but effective as reestablishing a modern liberal democracy.

Are you living in the reality where Germany doesn’t have a far right extremism problem, and where denazification was actually successful?

Gaza will need something other than what they currently have for an education system if they are to develop into anything other than a terrorist enclave.

Yes, radicalization happens because of bad education, and not because Israel keeps stealing their land and killing them.

OurToothbrush, (edited ) to memes in oh no Germany what is u doin

Let’s listen to the people who literally did the holocaust on issues of genocide /s

OurToothbrush, (edited ) to memes in Just gotta work it in somehow.

Well, I mean, yeah. I love doing me some communism, yum yum. Makes sense that I talk about it a lot when I’m killing time online.

Was there a point to what you said?

OurToothbrush, (edited ) to memes in It's a simple world view

Now do the home ownership rate in socialist countries

(Hint, the “American dream” of owning a home is much easier under socialism)

OurToothbrush, (edited ) to memes in Economic Theory is Fun tho.

A property owner (or in this case, really anyone who lays claim to a property, since a state that could issue official deeds does not exist) still has the right to defend their property using violent means if necessary.

Okay, but if there isn’t a state, who is to say the workers don’t have the right to protect their surplus labor value from theft by seizing the means of production, through violence if necessary?

This is one of the reasons why anarcho capitalism is an incoherent ideology. People who believe in it think that the right of private property is just something everyone agrees should be held sacred, when it only exists because of state violence.

OurToothbrush, to memes in Communist Filth/Capitalist Filth

, taking away people believe they can built something made most people dull factory workers

Workers do not see the full fruits of their labor under capitalism, that is right! When worker self management in Catalonia started, factory output increased by 30 percent over the course of a month. :)

OurToothbrush, (edited ) to memes in Communist Filth/Capitalist Filth

Are you not aware of the massive incarceration, labor camps, starvation, conscription, etc?

Are you aware the gulags never reached the same scale as the current US prison system? Are you aware that under the Soviets and under the CPC previously periodic famines under the previous governments stopped after initial industrialization?

I will leave you with this quote, ironically about a liberal revolution against monarchists

THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
