No one considers Pol Pot a communist, but go hard at revealing your obviously propagandized mind.

Because this place is based and people here can read. Illiteracy is the best weapon of anti-communists because if people can't read, they often can't educate themselves that communism is the obviously better system.

Bit hard to read with the formatting. Looks like a good and interesting list though.

Haha some desktop background I saw on here.

It's Kim Jong Un on a cool looking industrial platform mounted to a hydraulic extender inspecting a reanimated Lenin with a reanimated Karl Marx in the background. The reference is to Juche necromancy, which is used as an internet meme for all the people in the DPRK who are claimed to have been murdered but then they turn up fine. The joke is that they're being reanimated by juche necromancy.

Yes, always. Shoplifting from anything but a good worker-owned enterprise is entirely supportable assuming it's not just like a mom and pop with zero employees other than the mom and pop.

The entire existence of capitalism is tightly coupled with mass worker exploitation through the theft of the surplus value generated by workers.

Edit: I don't even care if they aren't in poverty, I still support them, especially from trash like Target.

Damn, you beat me to it.

Slavery is a systemic problem and there aren't individualistic solutions to these types of problems. You either seek to overthrow capitalism and build socialism, or you're complicit in modern slavery. No one is complicit in modern slavery for buying the things they need, bargain or otherwise, to survive and have a pleasant existence.

The system which enables people to directly exploit others in order to extract surplus value, whether by slavery or wage labor, is the problem, not the individuals compelled to participate.

When I'm not doing it to liberate workers from the toil of redundant automation without undermining their acquisition of the means of subsistence. So always.

[–] BlackLotus@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Yes and that's good.

Abolish capitalism.

Yes and it's hella colonialist to not pay massive reparations immediately.

 

I'll start:

  • Revolutionary Left Radio
  • Red Menace
  • Guerilla History
  • The Socialist Program
  • Empire Files
  • The Red Nation Podcast
 

Let's pretend there was a consensus of malicious internet companies, and a sufficient number of people wished to strip those companies of their power. That group of people could establish a new network of DNS servers which specifically refuse to resolve the perceived malicious domains.

Let's just take one example. Let's pretend there is a website that serves video content, but this website tracks its users aggressively. Their domain is example.com.

Even some of the users who dislike the example.com service might want to be able to consume the video content, so there could even be proxy servers which would provide access to the content without allowing things like the tracking javascript to leak through.

I'm massively oversimplifying the technical details of how this would be achieved, but I'm just curious if anyone else had considered this possibility.

Maybe DNS is the wrong layer to execute this political action, but I feel like there exists a technical approach to such political action.

Edit: I completely glossed over the SSL/CA implications of the proxying service, not because I don't know the implications exist, but because it's a complicated topic, and I'm not exactly sure how best to resolve it, especially for users who would not understand the risks of sharing things like user credentials over a proxy service like this.

I hope this can serve more as a discussion starting point than a prescription.

One more clarification: I imagine something like one or more Political Action Committees running these DNS servers. That person or group of people would choose a list of domains to blacklist, and deny DNS resolution for those domains or resolve to 127.0.0.1.
