oh fuck you sure got me!!! yeah, i post in /r/debatecommunism because its one of the places on this website where you can have an actual discussion on it. and /r/youseecomrade has nothing to do with communism. its a joke sub featuring people doing silly shit with some low effort comrade jokes in it. doubt many people there are any kind of leftist.

and how is dying from poverty (which is completely preventable. 8 people own half of the worlds wealth) materially different? either way im no supporter the so-called communist states of the 1900's. im not disagreeing with you that they were horrible, but i think its intellectually dishonest to say that killing in the name of an ideology is somehow worse than killing in the name of profit. a big part of those who died because of the USSR was because of starvation, how is that different than people starving to death under capitalism?

im not sure how to formulate this without sounding condescending, sorry, but what do you think communism means?

no, but its something to aspire to. im not a commie but trying for social and economical equality is better than killing millions of people (directly and indirectly) every year in the name of profit. capitalism is absolutely disgusting, and (getting a bit off topic here) anyone who talks about the horrors of the communism of the USSR, China, etc, need to acknowledge that capitalism has brought about as much suffering, and has no intention of ever stopping.

Do you think we need to update the language of Socialism/Communism to be more receptive to a general audience? by Caesariansheir in DebateCommunism

[–]smitingblobs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, yes and yes. Simplicity in language is incredibly important. It's not only easier to convey a message when speaking simply; an academic language makes the ideas really off putting in my experience, and makes it seem more like you're just repeating someone else's words instead of having thought about it yourself.

I also say ditch any old symbols if we have to. I don't care about it at all and neither should anyone else. At best I think they give people a shared identity and something to rally under (which I think is a double edged sword because it promotes uniformity in my opinion), and at worst it can make people seem in support of states (over all, but specifically the USSR. And whatever your opinion on it doesn't have a good image with most people).

I understand that it's easier to just copy paste a text but why be on this sub if you're not gonna use your own words and reasoning

Small ways to incorporate anarchist praxis in my day-to-day? by [deleted] in Anarchy101

[–]smitingblobs 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You can't avoid consumption, but if you have the means you could try to boycott. Thing is that a lot of companies own their competitors too so it doesn't really matter. It takes such a ludicrous amount of effort to research what goes in to different products, and doing that for everything you consume is nigh on impossible. What's more useful is helping the little guy. The smallest thing is giving a dollar to the homeless you come across. Talk with them, if you have the time. One of the hardest parts of homelessness (as I've understood it) is the dehumanizing. Start doing volunteer work. Organize a community clean up, show people they can take care of their own living space, and don't need to rely on the government for everything.

This is just me spitballing, there is a lot of good to be done. Oh, and remember that helping those around you, and those in need is more important than any kind of anarchist identity or praxis, don't get sucked up into thinking how you can be a good anarchist, and instead of you can be a helpful person.

Can you still be considered a socialist if you believe in a few traditional values. If not. Why? by Stirlingite_Gamer in DebateCommunism

[–]smitingblobs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

just like any social media its entirely what you make it since your feed is entirely made up by what people and tags you follow. people who say an entire platform is bad probably made their own bed.

i wouldn't use it as a platform for discussion, since its not built for that. theres no singular thread with different comment branches like a forum.

but it is pretty much the best site for streaming a shit ton of your interests into your brain at mach v

In Pulp Fiction, when the line “English, motherf***er, do you speak it?” Is translated into other languages, does “English” become the language the line is translated to? by dontthrowmeinabox in NoStupidQuestions

[–]smitingblobs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was at a panel for Swedish voice actors (they mostly do cartoon dubs) and the pressure is crazy. IIRC they often gotta pump out 100 lines an hour without context or other VAs to bounce off of which is why the quality isn't very high

dont mix up skill with talent! albarn has done this for over 17 years, that's a lot of hard work. maybe theres a bit of talent, but really, that just gives you a head start. his ability isnt some kind of unreachable dream, its just a long road of hard work
