Second wish is for a version of communism that actually works on a large scale.

Just have to love that you get downvoted for something so basic. "Nah, the current and past versions were fine!" Like what the fuck?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's probably the same people who downvoted the meme. Effectively people who don't want ANY version of communism

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Communism: the best economic system in the world. that no one uses. Capitalism: everyone uses it.

The post has 23 upvotes. What are you on about?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It had 0 when I commented.

I can not see the number of up/down votes, sadly, they copied that flaw from Reddit.

Interesting. My app allows me to have them separate, so I see all the up separate from all the down, and always have. I refused early on to use anything that combines them because I want the full picture of engagement.

If you use an app, check through the settings and see if it’s supported (all the iOS apps I tested have it). Idk about web, might be something to look into tho since the data is all there, so it’s just be a matter of handling.

Using Connect, I will have a look! Yes, setting exists, nice!

Sweet, glad that worked.

Welcome to the better side of Lemmy. 🫡

I can't see the number of downvotes at a glance, but i can see that it has 152 upvotes and that 82% of people upvoted the post.

I'm far too lazy now, but this should be enough to do the math and get the number of downvotes or do you mean something else?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

152 is the sum of the + and -1 votes 82 % were + So 18% were - So 18% of + were canceled from the - So what we see is the remaining 64% positive, which means that 100 % are 237 votes (42 downvotes, 195 upvotes)

To me, the post has 48 upvotes (net positive).

Welcome to Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Seems like the opposite is the case with a blatantly false statement getting massive upvotes from the radlibs of lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Shit, we have examples or socialized markets that run whole economies. We don't need to go far... Shit enforcing the current rules equally would change the world..

Yeah lets not look at the large scale capitalism that is definitely working for society

I think we have enough tech today to make it better

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yah, the pervasive surveillance should help immensely and totally not be used against the people.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

wait until you find out what this tech is used for under capitalism

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's an interesting take, wanna tell me more? (I'm sick right now and my brain cells don't function well enough to think for myself but that's unironically an interesting take)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

that the means of production are very easily owned by the working class and petit bourgeoisie? throw a dart at a list of SaaS products.

well I meant that most business tools have a free/affordable tier or competitor, there's little structure holding back a profit-sharing model in terms of infrastructure
