No, not really; even North American leftists do not identify as liberals. Actually, there are SEVERAL schools of communism; it’s just easier to say that I’m a commie than explaining what my exact subtype is.

Both Canada and the US have communist parties, even if they are small. The thing with minorities is that we can’t afford fence sitters; either stand for something or stand for nothing. Any person claiming to be a “centrist” or “doesn’t identify as left or right” is a person who doesn’t stand for anything.

You have to be pretty privileged to NOT take any strong political stances on anything. Apathy kills people just as much as bigotry does.

Just don’t start businesses unless you’re either self-managing or have a co-op. That’s generally all we mean when we say we hate businesses, honestly.

Yeah, like I said in my other reply, I’m heavily disabled and have been homeless twice. I am by no means a person living this pristine life—and I genuinely have seen a glimpse of how exploitative this system is.

Dude, I just stopped being homeless a few months ago. I am heavily disabled, have been homeless twice, and have seen shit in my life. I don’t even like Hasan Piker and frankly think he’s kinda sketchy.

Already replied to the original person, but this isn’t what communists are mad at; there’s a MAJOR difference between the petite bourgeoisie and self-managed goods and services. It’s the surplus of labour at traditional businesses which are considered bourgeois, not having co-ops or self-produced products.

As a communist, we don’t get mad at people selling quilts on etsy; we more or less question people who either aren’t self-managing their services or have no co-ops. The petite bourgeoisie are people who have a surplus of labour, which is exploitative.

Liberals aren’t leftists and actual leftists want to dismantle capitalism as a whole. Liberalism still exploits the working class and the global south.

Edit: I’m literally heavily disabled and have been homeless twice.

They’re only trash if they act like it. I myself have been homeless twice and am on disability pay, so I’m not really punching down.

My username is my real name. Idk about you, but trailer park trash folks aren’t usually communists posting on Lemmy.

It! Oui, je suis français. Malheureusement, je ne parle pas français 😔

I just use Mint and call it a day tbh

I use Linux, so I don’t have this problem 😎

Shadman is a famously terrible person 😬

What’s sadder is that yoga, chakras, and crystals are traditionally from religions within the Indian subcontinent. Westerners are simply taking aspects of South Asian cultures, indigenous cultures, African cultures, and then bastardising them into marketable “neo-pagan witchcraft.”

As an anarcho-communist myself, tankies embarass me.

$19 because fuck capitalism. Seriously, billions of dollars means that you are hogging billions that could be spent on feeding the poor. I say this as a person who just stopped living in a homeless shelter less than a month ago.

Ik they’re expensive, but Frameworks might be worth a shot.
