#Welcome to /c/socialism

Socialism as a political system is defined by democratic and social control of the means of production by the workers for the good of the community rather than capitalist profit, based fundamentally on the abolition of private property relations.

Socialism is also a sociopolitical movement dedicated to the critique and dismantling of exploitative structures, including economic, gendered, ethnic oppression.

Socialism, as a movement, confronts these different systems of oppression as mutually conditioning, intersectional, and/or dialectically related within the current hegemonic order. It seeks to overcome oppression in a holistic manner without neglecting any particular axis so that it might be eliminated and genuine social emancipation may be realized. We recognize that Socialism cannot be achieved while structural oppression continues and workers are divided.

Rich coming from the person claiming artists are not workers

When?

name calling by accusing me of “Proudhonism”

I asked you to explain why what you said wasn't Proudhonism. You refused. And then interpreted it as "name calling". All right, what's a better term than Proudhonism I should have used there that doesn't offend your sensibilities?

But I guess I can’t expect much from the same person that last time we argued just shifted the blame of China not doing enough for Palestine into third world Marxists because apparently they aren’t organizing to make China do something, somehow. Essentially excusing the Palestinian genocide.

No, you decided to repurpose the idea - if someone feels so strongly about china in that way then they should attempt to organise around it to help affect change (ie to have praxis around theory) to especially highlight the idea that people make strategic concessions on what they will or will not do due to material conditions/constraints, similar to what China has done - to make the above disingenious claim.

At what point should I swear at you too for each of the things you said? Especially that last line.

Unless you are a child then it is absolutely pathetic you do not have the mental maturity to not consider everything as a personal attack and double down on what you just did here. Hope you grow out of it.
