How the hell did it turn from empowering the worker to subjugating the population

As you said, ppl are lazy and just read the manifesto

And then someone on top realises if he cherry picks pages from Das Kapital he can get ppl on his side to help him get more power

Jesus its like the koran

I've met communists that are like "I have only read some parts of Das Kapital" and coincidentally it os the parts in which the state is the hero and the companies are evil. Never a single part that praises parts of capitalism

Or that distinguishes percieved capitalism from actual capitalism

He does explain how the free market, on the contrary to how it is percieved, is separate from capitalism

Have you heard of a commie that is part of a big commie group ever say anything like that?

They are always against the free market because it is capitalistic (in a russian accent)

Ive never met a commie like that. You know, one that knows that much. But then again, Im not gonna pretend I read Marx's work

You consider me a commie?

I didnt say that

Like I said I never met a commie that knows that much.

Much like I never met a christian who knows the bible beyond memorizing verses

Oh, ok

Just checking

The people I find more knowledgable on relligion ive met are people who dont practice it as much

I would probably consider myself a Marxist if it wasn't for those that already do. Don't wanna be associated with those shets

As they are more likely to question it

And Id considermyself ancap if it wernt for those who already do

I'd say I am a decentralist

To be honest, govt seizing the means of production does not scream decentralization

I know

The reason real communisms haven't existed is because there has always been a state. They want to rid of the state

But so called communists want to first make the state own EVERYTHING, and then rid of the state. Good luck making someone with all that power give it up

This article basically flat out says younger mothers are no less happy but "have greater gender inequality, the horror!" (As if it is bad that a woman wants to specialize in caring for a child) and that children are part to blame for the wage gap in a more round about way

It also basically says "when money is not the goal, having a family is more important". As if that is a bad thing

Which is true

Yeah, kids are expensive. But like, since when is specializing and family bad things

Since cultural cancer came

When both nazis and commies agree on something, you should take it into concideration. Both of them thought that motherhood should be praised, unlike today when it is almost frowned upon. But they did think very differently about the family and other related stuff

Well, with today I mean todays elite

More or less

i think society got too strict with its standards, forcing a pushback in the opposite direction. Now we are reaching the opposite extreme and the push back is building

dave bautista punches nazis what a hero

GoG3 is gonna tank because of politics. Perhaps not a bad thing because there is some pretty SJW movies coming down the pipes in the MCU

That really sucks because I had a lot of hope for it. It was gonna be like three awesome movies in a row and how often is a sequal and threequal just as good?

there is a chance the movie itself will turn out fine

but i fear even if it is decent, it will get boycotted by all sides

companies are too stupid to realize that playing the political game just means you put yourself in the crosshairs of both sides.
