Stockholm Syndrome isn’t a real thing.
“Stockholm Syndrome” was invented by police to discredit a female hostage
If the prime minister told me “You will have to content yourself that you will have died at your post” I wouldn’t trust the authorities either. Being a bank teller shouldn’t mean you have to die for your employer or for the police.
Hey Im a temporary prole waiting on my bourgeoise moment.
Ugh, are all posts on this meme sub “Capitalism bad, Marx good. Uplemmies on the left”? We get it, capitalism is exploitative. Although, I am curious on how the communists on here envision a real communist government. Please share, I’m just curious.

The 14-year old keyboard kommunists don’t have any answers at all.
If Marx was alive today he’d likely admit that the theories of communism are fundamentally flawed and simply do not work. He made some valid points over a hundred years ago, but circumstances have changed far to dramatically for communism to have any success at all.
Socialism is building powerful steam though, which is promising. And it actually works.
There can be no communist government. Communism is a collaboration of communities, not a single government. Just as like as Lemmy itself.
I understand that theory, but like I asked: How does that work in real life? Does there not have to be a governing body to ensure that everyone/every community adheres to the communist philosophy?
What entity represents the people under communism? How does that entity facilitate public functionality and economic distribution?
How is that theoretical entity not going to be something directly analogous to a government?
Solve that problem and we can talk about trying Communism, until you can you’re just another “let’s burn the system down and figure out the replacement later!” Sheep like all of those responsible for every authoritarian dictator on the planet.
You are adding far too much of your own bullshit to my comment.
If communism is stateless what is a communist government?
“Capitalism sucks so let’s go do this other arguably more shitty thing that is even more susceptible to corruption”
Makes sense. Capitalism sucks and we need to get out of the capitalist structure, but your dream of fucking communism garbage and irrelevant to that. It shouldn’t happen and it won’t happen. What we need to replace our system with is something that is able to be protected against corruption. That’s not communism.
What if I am a Capitalist though? I mean according to Marx I’m at the very least petite bourgeoisie since I buy the labor of others, have money invested in various financial instruments, and own both residential and commercial property. 😎
