Hm, these “Foundation of Economic Education” folks don’t sound too bad…

The Foundation for Economic Education is listed as a partner organization of the Charles Koch Institute.[3]

Lol

To sum up the vid:

It’s not actually communism, it’s democratic participation in a cooperative, classless society with the goal of meeting each other’s needs and contributing to the greater whole!

:engels-wut:

It’s also not new! Early societies have done this and certain groups of people do it today!

:marx-hi:

I suppose the response to these kinds of bad faith arguments is “Cool, maybe it’s not communism. So why are we not choosing this over Capitalism then?”

(Admittedly, I haven’t watched the show so maybe he is right and Jackson is not really a Communist society, just not with the arguments he presented.)

Yeah, sure. American TV fully internalizes ACAB so long as the cop isn’t speaking English.

But I’d call that a fractional view of “Russians” with respect to the overall story.

Good observation. Makes me laugh when, in Stranger Things S4, there’s a bit of an aside about how there’s a term in Russian for “pig” (reference to Soviet cops and prison guards) whereas the cops of Hawkins PD are portrayed as well-intentioned if useless against the supernatural.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
