No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

"In Marxist philosophy, the dictatorship of the proletariat is a condition in which the proletariat, or working class, holds control over state power. The dictatorship of the proletariat is the transitional phase from a capitalist and a communist economy..."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictatorship_of_the_proletariat

Except, there's no such thing as a communist economy, so the transitional phase lasts as long as there's capital to reallocate. Then peoole start to flee across the barbed wire and the facade falls down.

there is no such thing as a communist economy

Can you back this claim up? Market economy is a term for a reason. An economy doesn't have to be market to be an economy. Have you never heard of a planned economy?

the transitional phase lasts as long as there's capital to relocate

No. The transitional phase lasts as long there is classes that necessitate a state.

You have a very simplistic understanding of marxism that cannot be rectified through a fucking wikipedia search. Read the source material or stfu

[–] deafboy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I could read the lifework of Marx, but it wouldn't change the unviability of planned economy. My parents and grandparents lived in one.

If we ever stumble upon some kind of mathematical or technological miracle, able to predict the future, I'd be worth to try again. Until then, socialism is a dangerous cult.

"Despite knowing nothing about this economic system I am convinced of its failure due to a single anecdotal experience where it did fail"

Have you even bothered to look at why it failed?

[–] deafboy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Single experience? Have you been hibernated for the past 100 years? Millions have suffered under this self inflicted pleague.

The statement "communism is a conservative authoritarian dogma" being backed up by referencing the idea of the dictatorship of the proletariat is... definitely something
