Cause North American kids only think they know what that is but they don't.

So it's not a classless society? Also not an American kid btw

Communism in it's ideal form is impossible.. It requires humans to be selfless and share equally. That is not human nature and will never ever happen.

Funny you say that when humans since their very existence cared for their disabled/elderly and formed social relationships trough gifts and gratitude and not for monetary gain.

In fact, lonelyness and the pain associated with it are a protective mechanism, as people were much less likely to survive alone outside the group:

Our 'human nature' is to not be an egotistical asshole as that leads to social isolation

It's actually Capitalism that promotes egotistical and psychopathic behaviour, because you are competing against everyone in order to someday be more wealthy than someone else. Statements like this are bourgeois propaganda to preserve the status quo.

So I've actually lived under a communist regime and it was no different than a fascist one. So I dunno what the hell you kids think a communist country looks like.

Actually Communist/Socialist, for a start. With strong democratic institutions.

Dictatorships will always try to preserve their power at the expense of anything else.

You have this weird utopian ideal that is never ever going to happen

Better to have an ideal and fight for a better future than being a defeatist geriatric. Or what do you propose as an alternative?

Because too many people are dying or because no one dies?

Judging from the heart rate they didn't take it well...

Unlike in Capitalist countries, China's billionaires don't have much political power and actually face consequences for things like corruption, etc.

There are ways to get Monero without compromising your identity. I suggest looking or asking here: https://monero.town/c/monero

 

Germany's anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) is celebrating a "historic success", with a big victory for the far-right party in the eastern state of Thuringia.

The result gives the far right its first win in a state parliament election since World War Two, although it has little hope of forming a government in Thuringia because other parties are unlikely to work with it.

The AfD's top candidate in Thuringia, Björn Höcke, who is a highly controversial figure in Germany, hailed a "historic victory" and spoke of his great pride. He failed to win a direct mandate for the state parliament, but secured a seat because he was top of his party list.

 

The video is not new, but exurb1a summarises how privacy came to be and what privacy is for in a very entertaining way imo

 

I've been an avid proponent of Monero (duh) and since it's highly likely that western sanctions like the ones in Venezuela could cripple the economy. Would a decentralised cryptocurrency like Monero help in such cases?
