I’m starting to really consider the whole “reality is a simulation” angle, and whoever is running the game has put in a cheat code. (not really really, but more than I ever have before)

It’s like a shitty unrealistic movie plot has unfolded over the past decade. And every time it looks like maybe things are heading back on track, BOOM, we get another event that just turns us right back on the track to crazytown.

I’m having a hard time coming up with anything I can cling to in the hopes that Project 2025 isn’t going to go exactly as planned down to the last detail.

How are we not going to become real-world Gilead (but with more racism)?

    Also “Does that mean the people want to give up the means of production?” assumes the people own the means of production which would be communism and/or anarchism. Not sure what they think the means of production is or if it’s just a buzzword they hoped to toss in there.

        Ah, still this wouldn’t really apply because the workers/ people don’t own this mode of production because, so they can’t give it up.

        The people you are thinking of are the ~400 individuals who own the means of product, and you are correct that they won’t willingly give that up.

          Dude you read what I wrote wrong, or you didn’t get the context, it’s okay to say that instead of whatever verbal gymnastics you’re saying now. Grow up lol

              It seems a little unnecessary to spin words to be correct, you can just say you read it wrong or don’t respond 🤷‍♀️

              Besides that, it’s okay. I know my anti-Marxist pov will always attract downvotes. I want to challenge the premise that a Marxist world is socially just or morally or ethically superior. I don’t want to troll or cause grief.

                Most of your downvotes aren’t coming from being antimarxist but from blatant misuse of terms to try to scare people.

                To take a note from your pages: it’s ok to just admit that you don’t understand what private ownership is, or what communism is, and it seems pretty unnecessary to spew such verbal diarrhea in order to try to scare people into whatever it is you’re trying to scare them into
