That seems great! I’ll definitely check it out

Any communities here on Lemmy that you’d also recommend?

And thank you once again!

So as a leftist that I think identifies with Marxist-Leninist ideology but that didn’t find the communist manifesto an interesting nor easy read (it was small but not really approachable) are there any books that you recommend? I’m no economist but I do like reading logical arguments as to why capitalism doesn’t work, or better said, doesn’t work for the good of the majority but instead for a small minority (for whom it works very very well)

i.e. you want to give the companies the guns to go hunting for food, except you still want to tell them what they can hunt, but you don’t have any guns yourself. But surely they will obey you and not point out that they have the guns so you should make whatever rules they want

In this case “you” is either the OP of this this thread or just a general you

Ranked choice was on the ballot in some state and it was voted down

In other words they didn’t want to chose the lesser evil so they were fine with either option

Amazing decision.

So they’d rather have a president who would support a genocide even more. Seems like a great decision.

Also, there were other issues at play in this election. Even Bernie Sanders said so

Not to excuse the fault the democrats and especially Biden has on the situation in Gaza, but “don’t both sides” this shit.

Not only is “but Trump” an actual valid argument for about a million issues, Trump would absolutely steamroll the genocide in Gaza to even worse metrics. So not even in that 1 metric are the republicans a better option

First of all I’m not the same guy that you first commented to.

Second of all I’d like you to read your own comment as it very much applies to you.

Lastly you base your questions in a premise that I argue is wrong. So I’m questioning that.

If you say 2 + 2 = 5, so how much is 5 + 5? Then there’s no point in me answering that because the foundation of your argument can be disputed. If you want to defend your position or not, that is up to you however.

Why isn’t there a sustainable economic output? Are you then suggesting that there’s nothing we can do and that we will keep increasing stock prices until the entire ecosystem collapses and we go extinct?

It’s ludicrous to say that we can’t live in a way that is sustainable. We did it for millennia after all. So either we can’t keep growing forever and at some point it will have to stop, or we need less people, or we need to be more efficient with resources or a combination of the above (though the first one is always true).

And funny that you mention that when resources become scarce (and they already are) that we would need to restrict from people that need it because that’s what a “cOmUnISt” society would do. How about we prevent people from hoarding more resources than they could possible use in multiple lifetimes? Because those people are not hypothetical, they exist in the current system and we should definitely do that. If not just for the planet, also because it’s what is fair.

Maybe the monkey wouldn’t exist in the first place if you didn’t drink coffee so often…

Yes that’s how it works. You save some money and spend it in other shit.

Also I don’t have a car just so I can go get groceries. I have a car for a multitude of other reasons and I can get groceries. Driving 5 mins to a supermarket has an insignificant cost, and if that supermarket is cheaper then you can save multiples of that.

Regarding the stuff expiring, that’s just your experience. I have the opposite. There’s plenty of non perishable shit that I can get when it’s on sale because I can carry a ton of it if I came by car. Meanwhile if I go shopping by foot and I need laundry detergent I’ll just have to get whatever they have at that time. You can save a ton of money like that.

For easily perishable food yes buying regularly is better but that also means a ton of wasted time going to the supermarket very frequently even if to get only a few items.

Not to mention that the grocery stores that are well located are usually more expensive. The cheaper options exist in less number and so it makes it less convenient or sometimes not possible at all to get to on a normal work day.

You can save a lot of money that way.

And I’m in Europe FYI.
