Whats the letter A?
Pro-Avengers
I was just joshing you, playing a little trick, I think it's for atheism.
Anarchism
Lmao, "atheism"
Anarchism. The circle-A drawn like that (without the lines extending beyond the circle) is how it's traditionally drawn.
i don't understand how most of lemmy is pro-communist but also pro-anarchist at the same time
...different people with different opinions?
You do know lemmy isn't one person yeah?
Inside you are two wolves. One is communist, the other an anarchist.
Anarchism and communism are 95% the same in regards to goals. They just have different views on how to get there, that differ very little or a lot depending on the specific sub ideology, of which there are many. The 5% with different goals are some anarchist tendencies which want to keep markets and money, like mutualism. Everyone else wants a stateless, moneyless and classless society where people contribute according to their ability and receive according to their need on the basis of mutual aid. And no, "anarcho"-capitalism is not a thing, that's an oxymoron.
Personally I'd be a ok with just some wealth redistribution, but everyday without that I am getting more radicalized.
Wealth redistribution is only resetting the board, not a change in the game.
i like the game, just not my starting position
That's literally the game.
i just lost the fucking game
Same.
god dammit.
Sounds like you should learn more about the history of the two concepts then, because they've never been mutually exclusive.
I guess their different mental images of the final step of an ideal economic system under their chosen system has a lot of overlap.
I don't think you got a notification when Numuruzero said they're just joshing you, they think it's for atheism
Anarchy but done wrong because anarchists are idiots
Is it possible the legs of the A extend beyond the circle in cases where the symbol is spray painted?
yeah thats usually how it looks
