A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

China followed Maoism, which was also an authoritarian state. In such theories, they are "communist" in that they ostensibly seek to progress to a communist society. Tbh I doubt the sincerity of such a pursuit.

There are communities that could be genuinely considered communist in its true form, but people typically don't cite them as examples of communism working since they're not nation-states ... which is the whole point lol
