A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Please don't bring the Waco's to this community. I just want normal memes
If you want communism go to lemmy.ml
Calling capitalism bad isn't equal to calling communism good.
I see this all the time. People think the opposite of capitalism is communism, which is plain wrong. They are completely different systems, but many parts are similar. If you say "I don't wanna do capitalism anymore" it's not like you are forced to be a communist now.
I really don't think there is a middle ground
Social democracy is pretty much the exact middle ground
Capitalism is not a middle ground between communism and capitalism
Socialism isn’t a middle ground between socialism and capitalism
Indeed. There isn't a middle ground
There is a middle ground, but nobody wants to admit it because we love disagreeing
It is literally impossible.
Example: a business owned by an individual, who employs people to work for the owner's benefit, while the workers get a small paycheck in return.
Example: a business owned by the people who work there, with no private owner or anyone at all above them; workers share the profits generated by the business and manage it collectively.
These economic models are diametrically opposed. It is not possible to have both. It would be like trying to be both short and tall.
I guess you could make that argument. I personally am more politically conservative so I can't really give a unbiased option.
