How is this news?

I am sorry but to me this reads as if you want kids to be beaten

I meant that as it was in the past. Obviously it’s bad. Not saying we should go back

Wtf I don’t condone that archaic behavior. I meant that’s why kids behaved in the old days, because they had to, or else.

Nowadays we need better schooling.

That’s how I meant it.

I don’t think that modern communists should follow the “centralize first and hope the leaders give up the power then” approach.

As I’m collecting downvotes I realize that my post can be read as a defense of kids that like andrew tate.

Fuck tate and all other rightwinger fascists.

I meant to direct my comment at people who say “kids these days are bad”.

I think working on your emotional intelligence will help. You won’t have such a hard time accepting new facts into your life when you don’t feel like your life depends on it. Idk if I get my point across

It’s a bit cliche but the first paragraph of wikipedia says it better than I could:

Communism (from Latin communis ‘common, universal’)[1][2] is a sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement,[1] whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered on common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products in society based on need.[3][4][5] A communist society entails the absence of private property and social classes,[1] and ultimately money[6] and the state.[7][8][9]

My description above is just a quick way to point to the things that would change in our lived reality (assuming you live in a western democracy). You wouldn’t have to share your house or car or whatever. Just take responsibility for your workplace with colleagues, just like you vote in a democracy.

Seems like teachers and schools aren’t properly equipped for modern kids.

Society when kids are no longer wearing a uniform, have the same haircut, answer with a stoic “yes madam” and can be beaten into submission in school.

This is a problem that needs to be dealt with with better schooling. More teachers and new and updated curricula.

Yes, maybe parents are getting “worse” or kids are less “behaved”, but what would it matter?

Also I really doubt it. Kids probably have more things to deal with and struggle with that. Same goes for parents I think.

All of it? Your definition of communism is the same as that of the failed dictatorships of the 20th century.

When most people nowadays talk about socialism or communism they talk about a democracy in the workplace and in politics. People who want a strong state that owns everything are a loud minority in leftist circles, as you can see on lemmy. But they’re not as big in real life.

So true

Not really but go off

Nono you don’t understand they’re anti-imperialist

Elections in the People’s Republic of China occur under a one-party authoritarian political system controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).[1][2] Direct elections, except in the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau, occur only at the local level people’s congresses and village committees, with all candidate nominations preapproved by the CCP.[1][3] By law, all elections at all levels must adhere to the leadership of the CCP.[4]

If you don’t think China is democratic, what would they have to do in order to meet the definition?

fair free elections

Whaaaaaat?
