Second wish is for a version of communism that actually works on a large scale.

Just have to love that you get downvoted for something so basic. "Nah, the current and past versions were fine!" Like what the fuck?

[–] copd 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's probably the same people who downvoted the meme. Effectively people who don't want ANY version of communism

There's a CCP slant on lemmy.ml and it shows.

In all fairness, it was ~5 AM GMT when I commented, so it was 8 AM in Moscow and 1 PM in Hong Kong.

Welcome to Lemmy.

The post has 23 upvotes. What are you on about?

[–] Eheran 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It had 0 when I commented.

I can not see the number of up/down votes, sadly, they copied that flaw from Reddit.

Interesting. My app allows me to have them separate, so I see all the up separate from all the down, and always have. I refused early on to use anything that combines them because I want the full picture of engagement.

If you use an app, check through the settings and see if it’s supported (all the iOS apps I tested have it). Idk about web, might be something to look into tho since the data is all there, so it’s just be a matter of handling.

Using Connect, I will have a look! Yes, setting exists, nice!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Sweet, glad that worked.

Welcome to the better side of Lemmy. 🫡

I can't see the number of downvotes at a glance, but i can see that it has 152 upvotes and that 82% of people upvoted the post.

I'm far too lazy now, but this should be enough to do the math and get the number of downvotes or do you mean something else?

[–] Eheran 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

152 is the sum of the + and -1 votes 82 % were + So 18% were - So 18% of + were canceled from the - So what we see is the remaining 64% positive, which means that 100 % are 237 votes (42 downvotes, 195 upvotes)

To me, the post has 48 upvotes (net positive).

Shit, we have examples or socialized markets that run whole economies. We don't need to go far... Shit enforcing the current rules equally would change the world..

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Yeah lets not look at the large scale capitalism that is definitely working for society

I think we have enough tech today to make it better

[–] ikidd 7 points 5 months ago

Yah, the pervasive surveillance should help immensely and totally not be used against the people.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's an interesting take, wanna tell me more? (I'm sick right now and my brain cells don't function well enough to think for myself but that's unironically an interesting take)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

that the means of production are very easily owned by the working class and petit bourgeoisie? throw a dart at a list of SaaS products.

well I meant that most business tools have a free/affordable tier or competitor, there's little structure holding back a profit-sharing model in terms of infrastructure

If you're wishing anyway, you might as well go to the root of the problem and change human nature.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (6 children)

What does "Human Nature" have to do with organizational structures?
