… In the wrong direction.

anarchy brother. we self select pretty hard.

thats almost certainly the deal. poor dude.

Yes. Her campaign shit all over Muslim americans. She refused to condem or even admit to the genocide. She repeatedly tried to gaslight americans over bidens mental fitness. And completely ignored the economic hardships many are experiencing. Wouldn’t commit to keeping ms khan because her family member was under investigation by the ftc.

Absolutely disgusting. Never mind the fact she had no real policies positions that would have improved anything.

And then on top of all that nonsense, palling around with Cheney. And rank and file members immediately throwing lgbt+ under the bus post election in an attempt to deflect responsibility for the loss because of their shit policies.

Dont get me started about actions she took over the last 4 years as VP.

But she and the dnc lost because they refuse to acknowledge how absolutely pissed americans workers are atm. And keep trying to gaslight us.

dude that was a few months ago. =) they literally wasted 4 years. again. I’m pissed because my entire adult life the democrats have been worse than ineffectual at improving the american baseline. The republicans managed to take all 3 branches because of how piss poor democrats have been at representing their base. after harris’ disgusting behavior on the campaign trail and biden absolute disgusting policies w/ respect to israel im basically done with the DNC at the national level, they can rot.

the democrats had plenty of time under biden to introduce bills regarding grocery prices. All I remember were finger wagging press releases and corporate give aways in funding.

Edit: yup, they did nothing effective

I think picking one domain for fact checking purposes is the best option just for clarity purposes. I could see using archival links as a general ‘banned domains’ approach worth considering in the future.

Be the change you want to see people…

I’ll take duh for 2000 alex.

Yes. UDP relies on the IP protocols just as TCP does.

as I said stop wasting peoples time. troll elsewhere.

😂 we elected the wrong party for that.

Dont think we need to make that distinction here. :) correct of course but ip vs i2p, tcp vs udp vs utp, etc are all different layers of the same domain.

Lol. Dont waste peoples time in the future thanks!

!! i was not aware of I2P. what a wonderful network.

fair enough!

TCP/IP isnt the only standard in use even today. UDP/IP is the other big one and there’s a few smaller protocols hanging around like utp.

communism ends up top down in every implementation we’ve seen in the wild. but maybe you should think of the question not as ‘who is doing the planning?’ and instead as ‘what do we actually need to plan centrally’. i think you’d be surprised about how little you actually need to plan centrally. I ended up settling on worker protections.

classical communism’s take is its the economy and the state. both which means its ripe to collapse into corruption/authoritarianism and its very hard to protect. particularly once the system has established itself and is relatively stable. gives time for bad actors to start needling into the processes and abusing them.

You’ll never be able to control ‘who is doing the planning’ in a reliable manner over a long term in a centralized system. just take a look at every tech company that gets majority market share. soon as it happens they begin abusing their control as people within the company shift. can also use political parties in democracies as an example, even with voters deciding on the final candidates there isnt really a choice. this is why communism in the wild has never had the bottom up result you’re claiming it has, and no i don’t care about the purist written version of communism I care how it plays out in practice.

and the distinction between public servant vs executive is fairly immaterial if they’re both functioning as ‘making the final decision for the group’ what matters isnt who the decision maker is but how that decision maker was chosen to speak for the group.

Its not just wordplay. A business requires profit or it crumbles because it cant pay labor. A CEO is just a final arbiter of decisions for the business at the end of the day.

You dont need a central authority to setup that infrastructure you described.

And centrally planned economies are the rarity rather than the norm most economies are not centrally managed. The fact you think my statement about them existing without central planning requires evidence implies you have a lack of understanding about the basics of these systems.

As for your name drops who cares? I Hardly give a shit about Liberal economic policies nor am i advocating for them. Fun fact the US is a centrally planned economy for the most part.

You have yet to demonstrate why you need your centrally planned economy/government or why its something we should ever be looking to do. But honestly i dont particularly care to hear more lenin/marx regurgitated without critical thought on why its even relevant in this day and age when we know we can do the same things without the centralized government they advocated for.

Honestly itd be wonderful if communists moved on to the more modern approaches to socialism and stopped wallowing in the past.

Disagree. On all counts. Ceos dont have to make a profit. A business needs to make a profit (otherwise it isnt a business.) you fundamentally misunderstand the role of a ceo.

You’re too focused on the monetary policy you dont understand the power dynamics at play. If you have a centralized authority over the economy then you’ll have a monoculture. Just tossing ‘democratic’ in the name doesnt change this fact. Having elected officials doesn’t change this fact. Claiming not profit oriented doesnt change this fact.

The fact is you do not need a centrally planned anything and having one actually prevents improvements.

its inherent in any system with a monoculture / top down approach to planning. its not a problem that’s unique to capitalism.

think of it in terms of decision making: who is making the decisions? are there methods for unique approaches to be tried without consent from said leadership? if not then you’ll have boom/bust cycles due to errors in decision making by the leadership group because there isnt a way to allow alternate approaches that would amortize out the errors.

any system with ‘centrally planned’ is no different ‘ceo runs company’ and will have the same behavioral outcomes for the system.

it has nothing to do with profit motives. its about the motives of the individual making the decisions. just ‘removing profit’ from the list of motives (which profit is never the motivation, its power/ability to do whatever you wish) doesnt in any way impact the behavior of the individuals it just changes the justification used. but the system will still see the same behaviors / outcomes because you havent fundamentally changed the system
