merdaverse@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Just in': Elon Musk officially launches new political party4·10 days agoAt least give it a cool name like The (John) Galt Party or something so it has a better change of splitting the right. I guess the nazi party was already taken?

merdaverse@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Republicans ask Donald Trump to revoke Zohran Mamdani's citizenship3·18 days agoThere was an Italian socialist politician called Giacomo Matteotti who got disappeared after he spoke up against the fascist regime. It marks the turning point for the Italian dictatorship. If this century is truly a Disney bad reboot of the previous, we could be seeing some similarities with Mamdani.
I doubt entrenched powers would let the mayor of the biggest US city actually do anything radical like what he campaigned for. Capitalists will collaborate with politicians to either have him removed or make him woefully inefficient. It will definitely be an uphill battle.

Doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, what matters is that you're paid.English31·19 days agoFrom my (fortunately) brief experience in software consulting, I can confirm that is an important unwritten rule of the job. It doesn’t matter what exactly you sell to customers, as long as they are willing to buy it and come back. It explains why a lot of software is dogshit.

merdaverse@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus13·22 days agoExactly. There is a rich tradition of Christian socialism and Christian communism. Even the communist group that Marx and Engels joined up with practiced christian communism and utopian socialism before moving away to a more secular and materialist version. The Communist Manifesto marks this turning point well.
Of course, M&E argue that Christianity is a tool used to blunt the edge of revolutionary socialism and keep it back in line where it can’t do any harm. Like the other forms of socialism (including that dreaded one) that are explicitly designed to recuperate the more radical ideas to a place where they can be more comfortably controlled by the ruling class.
Always relevant:
merdaverse@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Sometimes we create our own problems.English0·3 months agoIt’s funny how capitalist apologists in this thread attack the format of a tweet and people not reading the actual article, when they clearly haven’t read the original article.
Negative prices are only mentioned in passing, as a very rare phenomenon, while most of it is dedicated to value deflation of energy (mentioned 4 times), aka private sector investors not earning enough profits to justify expanding the grid. Basically a cautionary tale of leaving such a critical component of society up to a privatized market.
The way these people treat humans… I doubt they care how they treat animals. I’ve seen enough of how the factory farming industry “cares” for animals to not want to see how they do mass cullings.
