lol. I somehow learned to drive without getting any accidents or speeding tickets while hating driving.

Fell half asleep on accident once while driving and still made it to destination (again, half asleep) without issue.

Then I moved into the Mountains where there wasn't traffic, started taking driving seriously.

My car's now all sort of banged up.

lol here we have traffic police

They are at every intersection in shifts

They literally pull people out of their vehicles and beat the shit out of them if you don't obey the signals

LAPD does that...more than they should

America seems to have a huge police brutality issue

atleast here most of the cops don't have guns

America *seems* to have a police brutality issue because the press only covers the occasional rare case of it, and never the vast majority of police work, which is helping people and generally peaceful

I've never really had issues with police myself.

Most are pretty nice if you talk to them.

**Most**

Police Brutality tends to get a lot of press though

Powers back, yay

Well, ever since Ferguson, MO the press has concentrated more on issues of police brutality

Race tensions haven't helped either

And to be fair, it *is* a problem that we have as much as we do

Even if it's as small as it is, it's a problem we really shouldn't have

Unfortunately, you can't just fix problems like this overnight

though it would be nice

Anyways, I'm off to sleep for the night

I've been thinking about communism, and how communists say real communism hasn't ever been tried

Because all previous communist regimes were under an authoritarian state

But what I'm confused about, is how exactly can communism be achieved without a authoritarian state in the first place

You still have to seize the means of production from those who have to

Take back private property

They assume people will willing give it up

And not everyone is going to give it up

Lol ditto

They project

Ah yes I have thought about this too

They think they wont be the ones doing it

Theres a self described socalist in another server who has provided some insight

They think the "RIch" will be the ones getting it taken away

Both helpful and distrubing

revan later

Look how they think increasing taxes on companies would punish the CEOs when it punishes the workers who lose their jobs

Maybe it isn't true that real communism has never been tried

Maybe it's just that communism can only exists in the forms of Maoism and stalinism

no it been tried

it shit

I mean, they use europe as "true communism"
