What do you mean you defined it?! You just listed 3 things that it isn’t! What does that mean? How is anything decided? How are people motivated to do shit without money? How does society work at all in a stateless system? You defined nothing. By your “definition”, genociding all humans would be communism since it would remove classes, states and money.

What is? The fact that not one person advocating communism actually dares define what they mean by communism? So they just jump from definition to definition to salvage losing arguments? Sure, extremely bad faith, but what you gonna do?
If you consider firefighters communist, you have extremely weird (broad) definition of communism.
PS: Also, in the context of
I don’t think we really had communism yet on the world.
arguing about broad definition of the word when we are clearly talking about a very narrow definition just muddles and confuses the discussion.
communism is a stateless classless moneyless society
So it’s a fantasy where everyone magically knows what to do, how and when. Then does it with no incentive or punishment. No coordinators, police, or anything else required. Ok, clear. Now can we get back to real world ideas?
Because if there is anyone who has the ability to order people to do something and punish them for not doing it or decide distribution of incentives, that is called a government. No matter how you try to rename it or handwave it.
human nature is not an explanation
Yes, it is handwaving, because I ain’t spending time writing paragraphs of shit anyone with two brain cells to rub together can easily figure out on their own.
communism is a stateless society
Just because you string words together does not mean they mean something. If people don’t own/control the means of production, someone else does. Either you have private capital or a governing body. Calling it “stateless society” means nothing. That is actual handwaving of real issues.
We never had communism in the same way we never had a person fly by flapping their arms after jumping of a roof. It’s not that we did not try, it just does not end with a flying person.
To have communism, you have to concentrate all the wealth and power in some sort of government so that people don’t own “the means of production”. And when you concentrate all power in the government, human nature produces some sort of dictatorship.

22·7 days agoWhy would you think there is anything wrong with them? They now get to scalp people with outrageous prices for the 20% they are selling. If the AI sloppanies pay, they made big sales. If the slop producers producers are unable to pay, they will sell the reserved stuff for normal or even slightly elevated prices. It’s win-win. Basically an excuse for industry wide price-fixing.

92·7 days ago- Android is a Linux distro
- Most people, me included, don’t want to run normal Linux on their phone. I use Linux on the desktop. I don’t hate Linux or anything of the sorts. But for phone use, normal Linux sucks major ass. What we need is GrapheneOS to be normalized and independent app stores for GrapheneOS.
- The above is not to say Linux phones are bad for everyone. I am sure there are few people who would enjoy it, but they are the minority.

Technology@lemmy.world•From F-Droid to emulators, here's who's hit hardest by Android's new verification rulesEnglish
16·11 days agoIt’s trying to squeeze through a legal loophole. They have to allow apps from outside their appstore. But law does not explicitly say they can’t require them to be verified by google first.
Don’t worry, they instead excluded countries like Switzerland that have high gun ownership with nonexistent homicide rates. So is all good. Also, including only gun homicides instead of all homicides, as if it is suprising that people use the weapon available to them. I guess as long as people are stabbed to death instead of shot, is all good.
Honestly, I don’t think the vetoes are the main issue. In international diplomacy/law, enforceability rules discussions. If all the small countries vote to prevent the US-Iran war and intervene against the US, good luck enforcing it. The vetoes just reflect this reality.
The UN helps coordinate where there is a will to cooperate, but it can’t govern the world, whether veto power exists or not. What could be done to improve this I am not sure, but it is not as simple as removing the veto.

31·28 days agoGrapheneOS had security requirements and they offered to help Fairphone implement them, but Fairphone refused. Apparently they are not interested in their users security and privacy. So I won’t be touching Fairphones with a 10ft stick.
Motorola was interested and should be launching a phone with GrapheneOS preinstalled at the end of 2026 or in 2027.
