I think you will find any place thats well moderated and cracks down on bigotry and hatespeech will skew left.

Weird how that is, huh?

Socialists don't hate markets, they hate workers not having any power or democratic choice in how they interact in the market.

Workers owning the means of production just means the workers are doing the same work but they are in ownership of the factory and the profits. They will still sell the products they produce in a marketplace.

I, a socialist, hate markets. They are simplistic and functional artifacts of the available way to pass information.

Cool, what is your preferred replacement and does everyone in this thread agree? You have managed to continue criticism but not offer a replacement yet again.

The ole can have criticism without perfect solutions response. Cool, how useless and pointless of you.

I'm confused, isn't criticism without alternatives itself useless and pointless?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, it broadens and deepens understanding.

Alternatives come from that understanding. Criticism is the fundamental step towards alternatives.

No, it broadens and deepens understanding

How exactly do you come to that conclusion?

Edit: "Thing bad" doesn't broaden or deepen anything. "Thing has specific shortcomings which aren't present in specific alternative to thing" is a useful criticism. Criticism without alternatives is just called complaining.

"thing has specific shortcomings" is a useful criticism.
