Can we make golf less bad? Like, public courses, make it so that the grass isn't some perfect standard import grass. Make it local even if it's "less than ideal" for the game. Desert courses with no grass. I dunno

So we could win twice?

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Well, I've never seen such a positive point about communism.

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 month ago

I mean sort of, proper land reform would destroy a ton of golf courses, probably even most of them but I'm sure there's plenty that, saving for the excessive water use, are otherwise ok. Besides, I think we're past having to take up half the real estate of scenic western Nebraska for a game that while I myself enjoy can probably also be enjoyed in more compact ways without major sacrifices.

Dammit, don't make me support communism now.

Is there another way to get rid of golf?

They would just build climate-controlled domes.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I meant it in the way that, you know, we're making the planet inhospitable to human life. That will destroy golf, finally! Worth it.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It will likely not make the planet inhospitable to all people, just some. In fact, a bunch of people will benefit from it, like those living in colder climates (at least for some time).

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Even in colder climates it kind of sucks, remember that it also makes winters colder and weather more chaotic

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 1 points 1 month ago

Just depends on the location. In some places the climate is projected to become milder.

Is it possible that is just conservative shitposting? Even our most of our extreme lefties understand irony and have a bit of self-awareness making inside jokes similar to this. We've also seen conservatives "eat the onion" enough on joke memes. We should consider that we may be on the other end the joke on this one not thinking they're serious with this meme.

[–] JoeDyrt@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Or just sarcasm.

So this is pro-communist propaganda? I’m here for it. No more retro brutalist Soviet style posters, We’ve moved into the era of mid-2000s photoshop.

Back in the day they were saying "don't let the terrorists win"

Now it's communists?

Are there any real communists left in the world?

The only existing communist states left in the world are in China, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and North Korea (DPRK).

...and even these states do not claim to have achieved communism in their countries but are supposedly building and working toward its establishment.

China is the most capitalist communist country I've ever seen

[–] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago (6 children)

China has a stock market and investment banks

The fear of communists came way before the fear of terrorists.

China is just capitalism with extra spicy corruption.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

China is a fascist economy without the extreme jingoism

I was hoping American football but I'll take this. Seems like a fair trade.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 134 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Nationalize golf courses, make them parklands.

[–] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

NO! Make them public housing as most golf courses are in nicer towns

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's already plenty of urban sprawl. We need more natural areas. Seize the houses of people who own multiple and make them public housing instead.

[–] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago (9 children)

Golf courses are not natural areas. They are biological dead zones that are sprayed with pesticides and only hold grasses which do not help pollinators.

Golf is bad.
