    Yeah, we should own those dirty communist propagandists by housing every homeless person.

    The commies will be sooo owned if we do that.

      Social democrats*

      It’s like communism but it works, and you don’t even have to kill minorities like you do on communism.

              Are you unaware that fascism is an umbrella term for many things such as communism and national socialism? I mean I know you’d rather suppress that fact but still, quite delusional

                TIL… serving capitalism makes you communist.

                Do tell… do you also apply this “logic-that-must-be-good-because-I-pulled-it-out-of-my-ass” in other parts of your life?

                  Nah. I’m an antifascist. If something looks like a fascist and acts like a fascist it is fascist. It’s not my fault every communist regime is fascist. Differences in the economic model underneath is irrelevant to the minorities being slaughtered. Communism is intrinsically transphobic

                    Can you tell me the page number in Das Kapital where you can find Marx’s discussion of transgender people? Or at least the chapter?

        Why does Communism necessitate killing minorities, and why are you assuming Social Democracies haven’t killed minorities?

        Do you think tools have a mystical property that requires the owners to turn evil if they are collectively owned, rather than privately?

          Good question, let’s hope you are able to have a civil conversation!

          First of all, every communist regime has systemically killed off their minorities. Social democrat governments haven’t. I hope that clears it up. If you come across social democratic governments systematically killing minorities, let me know though.

          Do you think tools have a mystical property that requires the owners to turn evil if they are collectively owned, rather than privately?

          Like I said earlier, the underlying economic model under the fascism is irrelevant to the millions of minorities having being killed by communist regimes.

            Every country has systemically killed off minorities.

            Show me exactly where the mystical property of tools comes in, where collective ownership turns people evil. If you can’t, then Communism does not necessitate genocide.

            It’s that simple.

              Did I say talk about countries or governments? Keep it on topic

              If you can’t, then Communism does not necessitate genocide.

              Again, I don’t support transphobia, I just so happen to support communism which is a form of fascism which historically has systematically slaughtered transgendered people :)

              Fuck you fascist.

                Ah, you’re a troll, checks out. For your information, the Weimar Republic was a failing Social Democracy that led to Nazi Germany, which was responsible for the Holocaust. Even Social Democracy isn’t a perfectly innocent system, nor can anyone truthfully say that unrelated systems necessitate the presence of each other.

                I support collective ownership of the Means of Production, which will eventually lead to a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society. I don’t particularly subscribe to any particular flavor of leftism, as each country will get there a different way. As such, I’m simply a leftist. Decentralization, equality, and Democracy are critical to human happiness, which will necessitate trans liberation. To call me transphobic is projection.

                All in all, you’re nothing more than a troll who believes tools have mystical qualities that necessitate genocide if people share them. You can’t actually logically prove this point so you dodge and resort to calling me a transphobic fascist, despite being the opposite.

                There’s no use in continuing this convo, you asked me to be civil and yet you immediately out yourself as a troll and spew slander.

                  Lost a convo -> ah you’re a troll haha. Classic dodge.

                  Weimar Republic was a failing Social Democracy that led to Nazi Germany, which was responsible for the Holocaust.

                  And the fish that decided to walk on land was responsible for 9/11. What the fuck are you on about?

                  I support collective ownership of the Means of Production, which will eventually lead to a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society.

                  Yet in reality it only eventually has lead to genocide. Good going, I’m sure it’ll work the next time around. All you transfolk you’re good, we pinky promise not to kill you this time around :)

                  Still wont (or can’t?) be civil, tries to dodge responsibility and shows 0 sympathy for the victims of communism. Textbook fascist.

                    Watching you figuratively fling yourself wildly from side to side to miss nearly every point they made, only to later blame them for the conversation going south is absolutely hilarious.

                    The best part is where you challenged them to keep a civil tone and they did, but you couldn’t manage to do so for even one more comment. If you’re not trolling, you’re just a massive hypocrite, so it looks like you’re trolling.

        Finland has a housing first policy. The homeless often have multiple problems that prevent them from getting a home the normal way (e.g. drug problems that cause them to get evicted). Instead of insisting people get better while homeless, they’re given homes first and treatment for their other problems after. This coupled with welfare transfers that ensure you never end up homeless just because of lack of money leads to low homeless numbers.

        Yes, Finland does this precisely by rejecting Capitalism and giving homeless people homes. This is not a Capitalistic solution.

        I get what you’re saying, you can have a majority Capitalist society and still solve homelessness, but the answer will never be Capitalism.
