A moderate radical centrist. Libre tech, Georgism, Mutualism, Economic Statism enjoyer

    • when freedom of speech proves bring trouble (example: fascism) then radical centrist must be willing to put restriction on speech.
    • when private property proves not to bring prosperity and regulation (example: tax) alone proves insufficient to bring prosperity (example: tax avoidance) then radical centrist must be willing to nationalize.
    • when state feudalism proves insufficient (example: deregulation) then radical centrist must be willing to agree with socialist.
  • I can’t address whether or not you’re a radical centrist

    I'm sorry if I confused you, my communist friend. Radical centrist can be confusing because radical centrist is taught to be willing to use non-compromising solutions.

  • I suggest you learn about waqf and compare it with communism. It will surprise you. And I heard Umar II did something amazing.

    I have faced hostility from leftists that are atheist and hostile towards religion and been called a revisionist. If this is how me and others are gonna be treated just because of our faith, I’d rather die than simply be used as cannon fodder in a revolution.

    Just ignore them, my Islamic communist friend. They are still beginners.

    I am sorry if my english is bad and I am a radical centrist.

  • Disable javascript by using ublock origin. I also suggest using a lightweight UI like Xfce or LXQT and 32-bit Linux OS

  • Ask Lemmygrad @lemmygrad.ml

    How to teach students about anti-capitalism and socialism?

  • How do you argue with someone to explain why Marxism-Leninism is more democratic than western liberal democracy, when they are deeply propagandized to think that only the western democracy is democratic and just and say that rich people are needed to make the economy work etc (all the usual talking points).

    Tell them about soviet democracy and imperative mandate

    I am not very good at this, when I say our democracy is not democratic they said I sound insane

    May I know how you tell them?

  • If you want to ask about socialism, lemmygrad.ml is the right place.

    Firstly, a subtle one, existence of MRP, maximum retail price, on everything you buy. Packet of lays, coke, medicine, everything has an MRP, over which you cannot sell the product for. Enforcement had been weak historically, but even then you would only see people selling above MRP in amusement parks or movie theatres, for everyday shopping, you are almost always likely to pay the MRP price. I was surprised to know that such law doesn’t exist in the west, though feel free to correct me.

    Second, India’s medicine patent laws. India has strict ‘non evergreening’ laws, which means a patent of a medicine cannot be extended unless you made the medicine better. Also government can give orders to bypass medicine patents if deemed necessary.

    Plenty of examples, but just these few I could think of. Infact MRP does not even exist in China, so in that policy, India is literally more left than China.

    Market interventionism (example: price control) isn't leftism. Paternalistic conservatism is rightist ideology that uses market interventionism.

    Third the farming in India. A nice rabbithole to dig in, but I am picking one example, Amul, the most popular brand of milk in India, is less like a company and more like a co-operative society, where they co-operate with regional dairy farms. Most of the money made by selling the milk actually goes back to the farmers.

    Nice information.

  • If this is quickly solved, there is nothing to worry about

  • Is reforms from Democrats enough?

    "They’ve got a set of Republican waiters on one side and a set of Democratic waiters on the other side, but no matter which set of waiters brings you the dish, the legislative grub is all prepared in the same Wall Street kitchen"

    Am I the only one that believe the US has to go through some sort of painful transition/civil war/revolution to fix it?

    No, you aren't. I'm sorry you have to go through this hard way

  • Your question proceeds from the premise: “the state is corrupt and this is never going to change, so let’s design solutions around that”.

    Not really. I believe state can "clean". But my country is very corrupt and I don't think state socialism is good for my country.

    Why not seek to eliminate the systemic causes of that corruption?

    Worker guild ownership aims to improve efforts to eliminate corruption because I believe in the separation of politic and economy.

    Because what does corruption mean in this context?

    Government official places his/her friend in state company, people have to pay to get a job.

    I am sorry if my english is bad

  • State can subsidize it. Worker guild is just a owner so state does not mess around. Beside owner, worker guild is also a economic regulator and economic planner.

    I am sorry if my english is bad

  • It isn’t overthrowing the system, and your organizing efforts should be with a revolutionary party, but from a labor perspective it can be nicer for those working there as a temporary measure.

    Umm... I am sorry, Mr. Cowbee. I am not a socialist. I am still a radical centrist. But what you said is right

    Without a socialist state, nationalization forwards capitalist interests.

    or capitalist logic. My state companies do not bring prosperity and are no different from private companies because of this.

    I am sorry if my english is bad.

  • I don't think lemmy.ml is right place for this. I suggest you to only ask this in lemmygrad.ml

    I am sorry if my english is bad

  • Ask Lemmygrad @lemmygrad.ml

    Would worker guild ownership be better than state ownership?

  • Ask Lemmygrad @lemmygrad.ml

    What is your criticism about corporazione proprietaria (proprietary guild)?

  • I hate freedom of speech. Freedom of speech makes my town filled with paramiliters.

    Although I hate freedom of speech, I support flexibility of speech.

  • Open your file with Collabora Office. It will makes your file writable. If you open your file without Collabora Office (example: file manager), your file will be read-only because Collabora Office doesn't have permission

    I am sorry if my english is bad.

  • Good writing. Your writing makes me remember Mr. Hayek.

    "Well, I would say that, as long-term institutions, I am totally against dictatorships. But a dictatorship may be a necessary system for a transitional period. At times it is necessary for a country to have, for a time, some form or other of dictatorial power. As you will understand, it is possible for a dictator to govern in a liberal way. And it is also possible for a democracy to govern with a total lack of liberalism. Personally I prefer a liberal dictator to democratic government lacking liberalism. My personal impression — and this is valid for South America — is that in Chile, for example, we will witness a transition from a dictatorial government to a liberal government. And during this transition it may be necessary to maintain certain dictatorial powers, not as something permanent, but as a temporary arrangement"

  • To be fair, you haven't heard of it because it isn't particularly relevant.

    I think that is because georgism is a centrist ideology. Centrist ideology isn't attractive, and therefore georgism isn't popular.

    But your opinion isn't wrong either. Georgism will only fix landlord problem but it will not fix corporation problem

  • Georgism is great but we also have problem with corporations so georgism isn't enough. We need socialism or at least distributism

  • I like flatpak, but I can't download Flathub flatpak applications and (specially) Flathub flatpak runtimes from my phone. I hope Flathub learns from F-Droid

  • Fedora is solid, but I keep finding myself tempted to try something new. Maybe I get bored easily—or maybe I just haven’t found the one yet.

    Here’s what I’m really looking for:

    🔹 Large and fast app repository – I want access to a wide range of apps, updated quickly, without weird dependency issues.

    🔹 Great UI/UX – KDE is my current favorite. I love how modern and smooth it feels, and I want something that builds on that experience.

    🔹 Stability without being outdated – I don’t mind rolling release if it’s reliable. Crashes and breakages are a dealbreaker.

    🔹 Good extras – Whether it’s unique tools, deep customization options, or just thoughtful polish, I love a distro with a “complete” feel.

    🔹 Active community/support – Docs, forums, or anything that helps when things go wrong.

    Fedora already provides what you want. So you just get bored, not haven’t found the one yet.

    What would you recommend and why? Any underrated KDE-based distro I should check out?

    You better check out KaOS, Nitrux, ALT Linux, and OpenMandriva

    Also, if you can, please share some of the best (and free) resources to really learn and master Linux. I’m still learning and only know some basics, but I want to go deeper and really understand how things work under the hood.

    LFS book is good resource if you want to know about Linux OS components. Arch Wiki (I'm sure you already know about this), Void Linux Handbook, and Gentoo Wiki are also good resources for learning about Linux OS

  • Ask Lemmygrad @lemmygrad.ml

    Why can Socialist Market Economy be categorized as socialism meanwhile NEP is categorized as state capitalism?

  • Linux @lemmy.ml
