Just have to love that you get downvoted for something so basic. "Nah, the current and past versions were fine!" Like what the fuck?
It's probably the same people who downvoted the meme. Effectively people who don't want ANY version of communism

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

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

So, I haven't been on Lemmy for very long, but one thing seems to be true here, just like on Reddit: People don't understand nuance and are only drawn to extremes. There's sooo much going on between facism and unchecked capitalism and communism, but so many people here are just willfully ignoring that, apparently 🙄
Lemmy was made by Marxists, and the FOSS community itself has lots of Marxists and Anarchists.
It isn't that people here are willfully ignoring nuance, people have legitimate views that are considered extreme outside Lemmy, because Lemmy's structure brings them here instead of Reddit.
yes, lengthy, nuanced, disputations, are just what the four panel comics, on the meme forum, needs.
or maybe you don't have some especially well considered, enlightened perspective, and people here believe the things they do for reasons that align with their life experience and education, just as with yourself. taking a centrist stance is not some objectively superior position from which to view politics. you aren't endowed with special insight for choosing the midpoint between ideologies that contradict each other.
If it was only that simple
It isn't, which is why much theory and practice has occured since the inception of these ideas, and grown over time.

But why didn't the number of wishes decrement?
Because the genie agreed and didn't think of it as a chore to do in any way.

Is that a genie or David Cameron?

Problem as always with these Wishes. You didn't really clarify what we will have instead of capitalism. Now he changed the world to some entire new system that no one ever thought of before that is even worse. :o You need to state as much detail as possible when wishing
