Actually Existing Socialisms (AES): The five predominantly recognized AES states are China, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and, [North] Korea.

The Nordic model is a social democratic one, which is still fundamentally a capitalist one. This is what someone like Bernie Sanders claims to want.

Sanders gets away with calling himself a socialist because Americans have forgotten what https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism actually means: “social ownership of the means of production, as opposed to private ownership.” Americans have forgotten what socialism means because the American socialists were persecuted into obscurity in the 20th century. So now even the vocabulary for socialism is lost in Orwellian fashion.

No socialist State has ever been won at the ballot box, though electoralism has its tactical uses in the interim. It’s mostly done through helping the working class develop class consciousness, through labor organizing and militant labor action, through developing dual power, and then ultimately replacing the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie with the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Few people remember that Communists and other socialists helped us win the weekend and the eight hour workday, and these weren’t won through elections but through labor militancy. They don’t remember because we were purged and memory-holed by two red scares and a cold war.

Reformism keeps not working, as evidenced by the last 45 years of ever-worsening neoliberalism, but liberals will keep trying anyway.

Marxists are not idealists; they are materialists, specifically, dialectical materialists.

It is the liberals who are the idealists.

Do kbin.social users even notice the irony in their name?

It seems to appear on sh.itjust.works as well, at least when accessed via a browser. Are you on a browser? If not, then this would suggest the functionality is in the lemmy-ui codebase.

It’s a system programming language that isn’t C or C++.

Edit to add: How did Go get on that page? That’s a stretch.

davel, to linux in change my mind: Ubuntu does the same thing as Android
@davel@lemmy.ml avatar

You’re basically saying that virtually every Linux is the same, which to a certain extent is true and to a certain extent is not true.

Basically you haven’t said anything.

They’ll keep trying until they win. It will be relatively easy for them to win on corporate social media. They largely have already have won, if you’ve continued to follow Matt Taibbi’s Twitter Files.

The final frontier will be the non-corporate fediverse: Atlantic Council: Collective Security in a Federated World
