Seize the Memes of Production
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.
Other Great Communities:
Her: so what are you interested in?
Me: Mostly how car dependent suburban development has eroded all forms of social capital and has torn our communities apart so completely that it's functionally impossible to even call or neighborhoods and towns "communities" anymore. .... But, uh, what are you interested in?
Me: I promise I won't go on car dependancy rants tonight
Me after 3 drinks: y'all know what a tram is?
Me: I promise I won’t go on car dependancy rants tonight
Walks one block down the street
Me: Okay! Listen can I just point one thing out...
It's not my fault, that these things block sidewalks everywhere.
"Did you know GM had electric car technology in the 60s? And instead all the Boomers got lead poisoning from cars, which society has been suffering under ever since, while the gas and oil companies actively worked to undermine a better way of life across the entire country.
Imagine if you could just jump on a train and get from Boston to DC in 2.5 hours instead of almost 10 hours.
Or San Francisco to LA in 2.5 hours. Or Chicago to Nashville.
That's the time it takes to train from London to Paris."
Ah, the wheel of "Why I have nothing to talk about at family gatherings"
"You like history, why can't you just talk about that?"
All of history is political, both inherently and especially when dealing with fundamentalist right-wing Christians.
Somehow I landed on "Borders are violence"? That wasn't even on the wheel!
It landed on the border between two other choices!
Property is theft
Are we missing a word like "taxes" or something in that one, or is there some sort of double-think going on?
It's a reference to this in particular.
Well this gets added to the many reasons why I hate these types of three word slogans. "Property is theft" simplifies what he said so far that what the layman hears is not even remotely close to what Proudhon is saying.
Yes, that and "private property"
Baby, which one doesn't matter. We gotta start somewhere.
