communists build walls to keep their people in, and democracies built walls to prevent people from coming in

[–] Nachorella@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Communism is a type of government and can be democratic. The better comparison would be dictatorships and democracies. Or capitalism and communism.

It's a dumb meme regardless, tho.

Communism is a type of government and can be democratic.

interesting, do you have a historic example for a democratic communist state?

Communism by definition is stateless, so the question is a paradox. A better question:

do you have a historic example of a capitalist state where the workers own the means of production?

[–] Acinonyx@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

so real communism is very unlikely to be achieved and everyobe who believes otherwise is delusional?

Yep,

According to Xi, "the consolidation and development of the socialist system will require its own long period of history... it will require the tireless struggle of generations, up to ten generations." Source

That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive for socialism with American characteristics. /s

Yeah but what is it trying to say? Is it just saying democracy is good because other people want to be a part of it? Why is it even comparing communism and democracy? Why is it using such a terrible example for communism? Why does it think that this observation is useful for making any kind of point even if it were accurate?
