What's with all this communist propaganda on Lemmy? Is it kids posting it?
It’s because when the current system is unsustainable people start to promote other ideas.
I get that you need to infantilize the position to stay so flippant but unfortunately for you it’s more childish to resort to insults when you can’t come up with any other response but still feel the need to say something.
The current system is entirely sustainable. It does need reforms, but a regulated market economy combined with strong social welfare programmes is the best economic system we've come up with so far, by a very large margin. Planned economies were attempted, they universally failed.
Dem-soc alert
"It’s communist propaganda to point out the vast inequality that continues to worsen."
No you’re right, everything is just peachy.
I think it's angry people who have no idea what living under communism is like giving up on asking nicely for a socialist reforms.
Things are getting pretty bad in the US. Anger at the inequality is building. And for a few people they are angry enough to buy into the batshit idea that a "dictatorship of the proletariat" would be easier on them then the current system.
They should go and speak to the millions that lived under that system to get an idea what it was like. There are billions to choose from.
Im not sure how it was during the time, but a lot of people in my country that lived under communism want it back
Consider educating yourself (lol, I can't even type that with a straight face, but here it is anyway, for anyone who does actually want out of this capitalism hell):

this argument is so obnoxious, like how old do you think Lenin is? Castro? Ho Chi Minh? Marx? where does this notion that communists are all young come from? There are at least 5 communists over 70 years old in my local organizing circle
Your on .ml if you don't want to see a bunch of communists pointing you may want to go on .world
Lemmy is A developed by Marxist Leninist B through it's structure and the activity pub standard it is way more appalling to Leftists than other social media platforms and C Cyberghost loves for some reason to post (mostly tankie) propaganda into this meme channel. I mean this one is a good meme many others are not
