    I don’t really know a lot about philosophy but I will pass on Marxism. I’m practicing maybe great but the overall fear of innovation is a turnoff for me. Being afraid of Technology and the owners of it stifles the creation of things like Lemmy. Innovation is good, technology can be good. People are just bad.

    And I always 100% see anarchism thrown around like it would work and is powerful but hasn’t history proven it’s kind of a wet dream for those with no power. You take power away and then someone tries to step in and re-establish that power in their name.

    Correct me if you know something I don’t or have some sort of philosophy degree and aren’t just someone who went online and said, “yeah I like that this article also supports my point of view.”

    Nothing against you and again I am asking for anyone to explain to me otherwise if you genuinely have knowledge in that field and have read a book or two or have a degree. I want someone who can explain on a knowledgeable level and isn’t just in some echo chamber that Lemmy can be.

    Also, I feel the need to clarify. Fuck communism, fuck fascism, and fuck authoritarianism. I also understand one hundred percent socialism doesn’t work either.

      What on Earth are you talking about? Innovation is core to Marxism, Lemmy itself was made and is made by Marxist-Leninists. Where did you get the idea that Marxism is anti-technology? Why would the Soviets beat the US into space if that was the case?

      Ah, got it, you do have no idea what you’re talking about. Why add this tirade on the end?
