Well that's just bullshit. Markets have brought more people out of poverty than anything.
How would that even work.
It's very very easy to do something like have a capitalist system where business and the rich are taxed. But you aren't on about that.
You could divide everything up today. But with change and new business ideas that system will never work. You think the people would want to invest in new automation, new ways of working, new industries. If it means growth and job losses? No never. Just look at the western car industry, or any big government owned industry. People don't want change, even things like running a factory 24/7 instead of a nice 9-5 is difficult.
Then Japan's comes along and does all this new stuff and puts most of the western workforce out of business.
Never mention a girl to my parents ever.
Last time I mentioned one was my girlfriend of 6 months (at the time) that wanted to come visit. I was in my 20's.
If you going to bully me about my personal life then you don't deserve to hear about it.
It's called a comparison.
Both are extremists. Doesn't mean they are the same extreme.

Every time I think about doing something illegal or hear about people from only a few generations ago doing something fun but slightly illegal.
Then I think. There is no way you could do that now the police would use all the surveillance that is everywhere and if I got caught their wouldn't be a slap on the wrist and grow up. But it would be a serious issue for my future jobs and going to other countries.
Makes me think I'm in a futuristic movie. Just not one of the happy ending ones.
Old timers. At what point does my body stop doing what I want it to.
Like what's the last age I can be to get in great shape? 35?
Literally didn't call anyone a Nazi. You can't read.
Electrics cars will make it a non issue but then we will be stuck with the surveillance. Our country is scary. No one cares.
Having said that if you are intentionally being noisy for noisy sake there should be harder punishments. Even lose your license for a bit, it's not a got given right to drive. You got to earn it.
All drivers should be considerate of others
I used to think this.
Seems a holdover from the old days of the internet, or maybe leftist from decades ago.
But no leftist absolutely do not believe in freedom of speech.
Keeping hexbear is like keeping Nazis on the site.
If you go for freedom of speech and the ideals of fediverse then fine. I'm not against that ideal.
But don't treat these people different to any other extremist just because they are left and not right.
Pho. Vietnamese chicken noodle soup. It's my favourite meal in the world. Healthy, cheap and incredibly easy to make.
Buy pho powder/ tablets. Put in water.
Add onions, chillis and a bit of lime.
Cook rice noodles.
You are done. It also freezes well. For all you lazy bastards out there. Try it once! You will add it to your weekly shopping list.
Yea what the Russians are doing is fucked. People just trying to live their lives and they come in and start killing and controlling.
I'm on about the book.
It's militaristic but it isn't fascism.
Absolute lol. The president's first language is Russian.
But making a country speak it's own language in schools instead of an occupiers language is absolute no reason for war and genocide.
To be protected by that country yes.
See how long you get to have your rights when you stop paying taxes or ignore the laws of the state
You don't think the allies out people in jail for not helping with the war effort?
Right tell me how every example of "you need to do something for your country to get citizenship" is fascism? Plenty have people have argued that you need to be educated to vote or to have land to vote or whatever. They are shit systems yes but they aren't fascism.
You're just using an over used internet buzzword. It's going to lose all meaning eventually.
That's up the the Ukrainian people.
When an aggressor comes to them starts capturing their land, property, destroying their families and committing genocide. Should we send them support to defend themselves. Absolutely for the good of humanity. People will die yes, the Ukrainians understand that I they have clearly chosen that they would rather deaths than be subjected by the russian again.
Otherwise what's to stop countries commuting horrific crimes unopposed?
I occasionally buy soft drinks. When I'm done with it I reuse it as a water bottle until I buy another soft drink.
