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
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"
In example, they ideal way to bring about socialism would be through democratizing the workplaces.
In his mind, the end goal is social ownership of workplaces and thats it.
Like look, this is what a bit does, imagine the good when its full commie
Blockchains could solve a lot of govt corruption and stuff
main reason being you cant change the record unless u undo time
the good ones at least
Democratizing the workplaces, huh
No more bosses?
Correct
I can't imagine that going very well
already happened via steem cuz we have voting
