Of course, a socialist world. Not reactionary states claiming to be

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

But that's not what we are discussing here, we are discussing socialist states where public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy and the working classes control the state.

Ah so there was this meme that I commented on outside that discussion

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I'm aware and am referring to the meme as well, as we all are in this discussion.

The meme parrots the kayfabe with controlled opposition and division created by the global authoritarian parasite class. They'll all have to go

What is the "global authoritarian parasite class?" Classes are specific relations to production and distribution. Are you referring to the top of the capitalist class, the imperialists in the US and Europe? I'm not sure how that relates to the meme. This meme is specifically about how liberals use terms like "authoritarian" to discredit existing socialist states, without an analysis of what that authority is used for and how it's different from capitalist states.

In a socialist world you don't need a state. It withers away and we all become communists or anarchists or whatever. In our world however, any socialist movement will immediately come under attack from reactionary forces from outside. A state is needed to suppress those reactionary forces.

Yeah, they're suppressing every socialist attempt currently, but the facade is crumbling

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Where is the facade crumbling? I need some examples because honestly I have no idea what your are talking about.
