All corporations. All corporations will not be happy until ownership is a concept of the past. You are borrowing the company's resources and paying them for the service.

If you don't like it, stop heralding capitalism as the be-all of economic systems...

It's ironic, isn't it. With the most common "criticism" of communism being that nobody will be able to have any personal belongings..

Eventually people will realize that there is no real difference between communism and capitalism, because both systems always end up with fascists in charge.

This is Lemmy, you don’t have to convince people not to like capitalism here, we’re already on board

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

We already have a noose set up for the first instance that gets greedy.

Define ‘we’. Not all of us are communists.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Communists aren’t the only people that hate modern, western, late stage capitalism. Some of us are good, old fashioned, corporations-aren’t-people folks who believe that the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness shouldn’t be infringed by the mantra of “maximizing profits for our shareholders”.

Ha! You know you are on Lemmy when "not all of us are Communists" gets pummelled by downvotes.

Apparently most are!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, he got downvoted because he equated not supporting capitalism to communism. I think most people on Lemmy are lefties but not communists. There's a lot of in between.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

What? He literally just said "not all of us are Communists" any other interpretation is very much reading between lines which is a stretch when there is only one line.

Lol Lemmy's Klepto Keyboard Kommunists are an endless source of misguided entertainment.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

At least 15 people are!

Don't have to be communist to hate modern companies.
