This is actually an older news story, and it does appear as though she recovered from this before her death.

capitalism is terrorism
Go move to Cuba then.
Among the countries you could have picked, I could not think of one that better supports the idea that capitalism is terrorism the way Cuba has been harrassed for decades for essentially doing some pragmatic reforms - to the point they were forced to side with the USSR to prevent invasion by the US.
Fun Fact:
That happened in Vietnam too. And Libya. And Venezuela... And the Spanish Republic... And
Move to the bottom of a ditch.
Ahh, nice, cordial Lemmy interaction in the morning
Lemmy has the most death threats per user of any social media I've ever used. It's kind of crazy. I guess that's why user numbers keep trending down. Monthly active users are down 21% on July last year.
You don't even know what a threat is.
Yeah I have to say the political environment here is getting more and more exhausting as time goes on. Lemmy is developing a 4chan-esque reputation that will keep it from ever really taking off.
Kind of a bummer.
“Lemmy is politically hostile”
receives downvotes, insults, and death theats
Yeah…..
Generally speaking, the idea isn't to yell at the shitlibs unless they're saying shitlib things. When they're being polite enough you just hit them with history.
insert memes of starving communist societies
Mhmm. Because the British Empire didn't repeatedly use artificial famines as a weapon, and the American-caused Great Depression and breadlines aren't synonymous.
Because no one starves, or is homeless, right now, in America. Because Republicans aren't so caught up in Supply Side Jesus they literally want children to go hungry if their parents can't afford a school lunch.
I'll give you this, though. Blind ideological thinking is dangerous.
Ignoring reality, history, and science, the way you have to to pretend capitalism is a good thing, or to create Lysenkoism, just never works out.
You either starve a million people or burn the world to death.
For the purposes of this thread, I’m a commenter on Lemmy who’s tired of overtly hostile users harassing anyone who doesn’t align with their chosen stance.
No, youre just a dick that has to pick a fight in every conversation you have like it’s your only personality trait. And exactly the type of user that’s killing communities all over Lemmy.
Just as much as USSR and Stalin are proof socialism is genocide.
Dude holy shit
Just Lemmy stuff 😃
Thankfully, chances are the people taken care of would be psychos like you, who would kill people over internet comments ;)
Careful not to cut yourself on that edge.
dumb response to dumb comment
Weak troll. Troll harder
Mate, you condone calling people terrorists but consider edgy telling someone to move. I can't troll a troll.
Nobody called anyone a terrorist. OP identified an economic ideology as terrorism.
And yeah, it's middle-school-cringe-level edginess to simp for capitalism by telling someone else to move to a different country. Especially when that particular line of fallacious thinking was debunked decades ago.
If you're feeling targeted by that comment calling out capitalism, that's your deal; you're free to be a capitalism fanboy, but just know that the billionaires will never love you back.
Cuba makes a huge amount of money from the tourism industry and it doesn't all get redistributed to the people according to their needs. Just because a country calls itself a communist country doesn't mean it's true. Believe it or not, the DPRK is not actually democratic or a republic.
Let me tell you a little secret (that is a lie, it just basic logic). The reason every "communist country" is in name only is because a real one can't exist. Not for any real length of time anyway. As long as the system requires humans to make decisions, they will make selfish decisions. And socialism just make it so much easier for few decision makers to take all the power.
Wait, are you talking about socialism or communism?
Both. It applies to both if they are at the extreme end. Socialism has extra steps.
And to be absolutely clear, I mean socialism with no capitalistic elements. An in the middle system is what I am advocating from the start.
So... capitalism is bad and if you do not like it, move to Cuba which is still capitalist?
Why would "making selfish decisions" be worse in a collectively owned system where industry is run by the public, than in a Capitalist system where the only decisions made are selfish ones?
What kind of purely vibes-based analysis is this?
true, at least she wouldn't be in jail for the crime of not being able to work with 93
Cuba that is self sufficient and has the best healthcare in the world? As well as the most beautiful beaches? Yeah it’s on my list if countries to flee to when Trump wins my dude.
Enjoy continuing to live in this shithole country.
If it is so great, why wait for Trump to win? A second time?
