I know right! As if there's equality under socialism! LOL silly anti-socialist propagandists.

The Pirate's Bay

I think you mean "The Pirate Bay"?

here's the pretty unanimous "tankie" line on that question

"This essay is presenting a very one-sided depiction of socialist states, with a great many of their shortcomings, mistakes, failures, and crimes (yes, a few) omitted or barely discussed"

Their many shortcomings, mistakes, failures and crimes (more than a few) are why I have a disinterest in engaging with these political movements.

What's a socialist? Why do you want me to become one? What's in it for you?

[-] rah@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

You keep telling yourself that.

no exploitation is a 'differing level of exploitation'

You're claiming there have been human societies with an absence of exploitation? And you have sources to back up your claim?

prosocial behavior in humans

I'll just cut-and-paste from another comment:

"Human beings must necessarily cooperate and aid each other in order to survive. It’s how our species evolved. However, that doesn’t mean humans only ever aid each other, or even that they care about others except as a means to survive. Humans will cooperate when it’s beneficial and also stab their fellow humans in the back, step on them and exploit them when it’s beneficial. That’s why all we have are systems of elites and peasants, filled with squalor and death."

differing levels of exploitation

And yet never an absence of exploitation.

So not sure what your point is.

That humans in general, including fellow labourers, are what are reckless of the health and life of the labourer, not just "capital". You're deluding yourself by limiting your criticism to capital alone. Or even worse, deluding yourself by assigning blame to capital alone.

Pass.

If you're not able to express succinctly in prose whatever idea you think I need to waste my time watching be revealed in a YouTube video then I suspect it's not an idea worth paying attention to.
