Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Came here to say this

The Communist Answer

[–] funky_tomatoe@lemmygrad.ml 44 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Owning a toothbrush. I'd have only one national toothbrush that everyone has to share. You'll have to register on a waitlist so that you can only brush your teeth a maximum of once a month.

Also, as a communist, I would ban, not having a bedtime. Everyone must have a bedtime. Anyone deviating from their bedtime will be sent to bedtime gulags. Where they have multiple bedtimes throughout the day.

Comrade, I have a crime to confess: I've missed my bedtime several times prior to this glorious revolution. I believe I may need re-education in the Marxist theory behind Communist sleeping in order to weed out these remaining vestiges of Capitalism. While it pains me, I will submit to arrest and go willingly and compliantly to the bedtime gulag.

[–] 201dberg@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 years ago

The first step is admitting you have a problem.

[–] tuttifruttihat@mastodon.bida.im 9 points 2 years ago

@201dberg @funky_tomatoe send me there, please. I don't have a night of sleep for the last three years 😪

[–] funky_tomatoe@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Missed opportunity to say that people are put to sleep in the bedtime gulags

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would vote for this if it captured the people who make you miss your bedtime and then my employer couldn't give me so much work that I am constantly missing my preferred bedtime.

[–] 201dberg@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Forcing someone to miss bedtime will result in sever punishments and repeat offenders will receive capitol punishment of the highest order.

Infinite bedtimes.

I'd ban my enemies from holding political office, obviously. Don't need capitalists biting at my heels and plotting my downfall.

Might ban them from living too, depends on how much of a threat they are.

Advertising

[–] knfrmity@lemmygrad.ml 32 points 2 years ago

I would ban privatized public services and charging users money at the point of service for said public services. Healthcare, school, transportation, water, communications... All free and all purged of private capital.

[–] Swinging6917@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 2 years ago

Fascism in all its forms, including Nazism, Zionism and Capitalism.

[–] OrnluWolfjarl@lemmygrad.ml 28 points 2 years ago

Everyone drives on the left from now on, and red means go.

On a serious note, I would do what the other poster suggested. Ban private healthcare, schools, universities, mass transport, electricity, gas, water and internet.

Liberalism, doing so kills fascism too so win win

[–] iridaniotter@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 2 years ago (3 children)

High speeds in urban centers. You will go 30 km/h and you will like it! 😈

[–] Brutticus@lemm.ee 24 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I would just ban cars. Start working on a network of local light rail and high speed long distance passenger rail. If you cant get to where you need to go via train, then you have to move out of your exburb enclave

[–] iridaniotter@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Ah well I'm a bit of a centrist. I only want to ban like 95% of cars. I like that energy though!

I'm urban centers you're required to get out of your car and push it sicko-spin

[–] Ocommie63@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 years ago

That’s seems a little fast let’s bump it down to 10km/h

[–] cayde6ml@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 2 years ago

I would ban or at least dismantle the capitalist mode of factory farms.

Raising animals for meat for slaughter would most likely unfortunately have to exist for a long amount of time, and possibly never completely done away with. But I think that animals raised for slaughter deserve a much stronger and official "bill of rights" of sorts, outlawing animal abuse in all its forms and guaranteeing animals a very good life before a humane death.

landlording

also all streets should have signs saying their name at all entrances

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 2 years ago

Can I say subwoofers and speakers over 6w? Not a complete ban. More of a restraining order. No subwoofers or >6w speakers allowed within 300m of a mattress or 500m if it's open space.

In Syria, Iraq, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, any form of normalization with the usurping state of 'israel' is banned. In Iran and Syria this includes the selling of goods & products made by the temporary entity.

A good law

Peaches. More specifically, the frozen kind.

tbh probably Historical Revisionism. If its a novel or something whatever, but Adrian Zenz is a dangerous person and people like that deserve punishment. And obviously not just punishment, the state should prove him wrong in a court and sentence him (not death penalty imo but if enough people requested it I really wouldn’t put up much of a fight)

[–] fire86743@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought historical revisionism was more of a neutral thing, it can be good or bad. I mean, Grover Furr is considered revisionist and we cite him sometimes.

mullets. when i found out the DPRK didn't actually ban mullets, i was devastated. there is nowhere on earth where we can be safe from that disgusting, wretched haircut.

[–] Highriselowlife@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 years ago

Inshallah I would ban gamers

[–] GarfieldYaoi@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Investing in goods. I recently found out there were actual "egg investors" when the price of eggs surged, and real estate investors drive up the price of housing as a way to make an easy buck. Any socialist society, or at least any self-respecting left-leaning society should want to see honest workers get paid first and vultures get scraps. That's why they're vultures.

Flights to Occupied Palestine until it is liberated.

I WOULD BAN SEX

SEX IS REACTIONARY

I'm kidding.

[–] ledlecreeper27@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago

I would ban anyone working for the USA/CIA or any of their front groups from being in the country.
