We can assume how hexbear users feel about themselves. I’d be more interested in how local users feel.

    The communists are fucking exhausting. You can not debate them because any evidence that is presented they just call propaganda. North Korea is misrepresented in the west and is actually a great place to live.

    Its like, what they believe and what I believe aren’t too far apart. They have a lot of great ideas, but they will not accept anything less than total agreement that any communist government is nothing but roses and utopia, regardless of what actual evidence says. They’re no different in mindset than the MAGA crowd when it comes to blind acceptance of what they’re being fed regardless of how much evidence contradicts their viewpoint.

      Wow there cowboy!

      Don’t mix up Communists and tankies! You can be a communist or socialist (not as far left) without defending the so called communist States that have existed in our history!

            No.

            I want equity, not equality.

            Not everyone has the same needs. I have more needs than most folks, unfortunately, and have had people be real damn swarmy about the “extra” things I am fortunate enough to be afforded because of it.

            Historically, those with disabilities, special needs, and other things are NOT treated well under communism. They are considered a burden because of their extra needs.

            Anyone who preaches against ableism should think real damn hard if they think that communism is compatible with anti-ableism. Calling out people who use the word “retard” ain’t shit if your actually ideology is staunchly not actually supportive of the handicapped & disabled.

            And before folks decide to dog-pile this post and say “OH, so you think capitalism is the better way, huh??” Fucking, no, obviously! I don’t have all the answers, but I can confidently say that communism ain’t it.

              There’s a huge difference between communism the ideology and communism as it’s “been applied” historically and the ideology probably can’t work in a big society because humans are humans…

            In what context? Laws? Yes equally. Economically, yes! Everyone should have the freedom to do whatever they like… Oh wait that’s exactly the opposite of socialism…

            Communism and Socialism are just making shure everyone has it somewhat equally bad and are absolutely Undemocratic and Prone to turn into Dictatorships (as seen in every commie/socialist country ever)

            What is a good idea is a social market economy. Still democracy, Everyone gets the help they need, everyone can do whatever they want with their lives.

              Social market economy = socialism, go check the real definition of the word. Economic equality is communism.

              There’s also a huge difference between communism the way it’s defined and communism the way some have tried to implement it and there’s no proof that is viable outside of small communities. It doesn’t mean the concept is bad, it means humans are bad at equality.
