don't worry, we'll abolish the classifieds when the revolution is complete. geekhack will become exclusively for hhkb tours.

Trenzafeeds, what are the aspects of communism that you are drawn to and do you think that it's possible to transition to it from capitalism without a violent, or at least a forced revolution?

If it isn't appropriate to ask about the mechanics of communism in this thread, I will withdraw the question.

Communism barely even exists anymore, what's this American fascination with an ideology that hasn't existed for twenty years? :P

I think you guys just made the NSA sweat a little. A forum with Hack in the title and speaking about communism are sure you make all sorts of alerts go off

PS. Hi NSA, Im not even American and I think you guys are doing a wonderful job. Please dont put me on a no fly list. Also dont tell FRA that I said hi

You can have one if you promise to commit the equivalent of The Holodomor on early bidders and spacebar flippers.

Well, to be fair, a LOT of Americans don't actually know what Communism actually is, and the far-right often paints Socialism and Communism as being the exact same thing.  I mean, I regularly hear clients at work tell me about how Obama is a filthy Communist, whereas most places in this world Obama would probably fall on the right or middle end of the political spectrum but nowhere near the "real" Communists.

Communism is dead as a doornail, the only places that are still somewhat communist are Cuba and North Korea and that's really about it xD .

I also don't see what all the hate against communism is about, it would be a fantastic system if it didn't inevitably lead to dictatorship.
