We are communists in Lemmygrad. Are you lost buddy?
“Democratic socialism” is bullshit… Like if the burgeoise are just going to hand out the power because you vote “hard”. You are sooo deluded. Stop living in a dreamland.
Dude, you are the one who has been brainwashed by decades of Red Scare propaganda done by the West. Also, many many people on your instance are commies too. I constantly post commie stuff on your instance and get thousands of upvotes.
Since communism isn’t illegal in western countries, and there’s literally nothing stopping a bunch of comrades from starting a business where the workers maintain control over the means of production, where are all the successful communist companies?
Like if communism is sooooo superior to capitalism, why aren’t communist operated businesses dominating the world?
New businesses are started all the time, so you would think there would be at least one successful communist company. Where are they?
Capitalism doesn’t allow for socialism to exist within it. Under capitalism only cut throat business flourish. Trying to have an island of communism thrive on a sea of capitalism is like trying to plant apples in the desert. Only when the entire system becomes communist, it can thrive since capitalism is made for only to capitalism to make it. A company that values people over profits will be drive out of business by one that sells cheaper products by cutting all benefits to their employees and by paying them shit. That is why changing the whole system is the only way to go forward.

Yes, this is called China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, North Korea, and the former USSR (and many others)
E: also not being snarky, mondragon and basically all co-ops are working as you suggest. Did you not know what a worker co-op was??
yeah right? if economic planning was superior to market uncertainty like all those stupid commies say then big capitalist firms would employ it internally!
What’s with all this pro-communist crap on lemmy?
We’re down with Democratic socialism. They aren’t the same.

What is a communist business? How is it different from a normal business?
