From what I see, it's full of wannabe rebel communists, who claim to be communist because they like the idea of revolution. The type of people that think that wallstreetbets is communist because "they fight the system".
Marx and gramsci are turning in their grave reading some lemmy post
I'm sorry but the Marxist and communist discussions on here are an absolute far cry from wallstreetbets lmao, not to mention using WSB favorite word gets you banned in a lot of these communities
Stonks?
Nah the one that starts with an R
Revanchism?
ROI?
Investing man-hours into mechanization also has labour ROI.
Sorry Im not sure why but clicking on context provides nothing for me. Do you need me to explain what return on investment is (ROI) or is your comment regarding something else?
You’re correct in that I meant return on investment - profit - but it is indeed not their favorite word as I don’t wanna be banned, just being cheeky.
Many are same level of nativity. Grown up kids pretending to be revolutionary to protest mum's political ideas
Some are well read and others maintain nonsense because they don't know what anything means. Many seem to not have any understanding of how things work IRL. Fir example someone claimed China was a democracy and did not understand that the central party's ability to determine who could oppose them meant that they are in fact not a functioning democracy.
Complicated issues are complicated. Neither Reddit, lemmy, Twitter (x?), nor any social media platform is particularly well suited towards discussing complex decisive topics.
