Ducks are used to it, female ducks developed curled vaginal canals to deter forceful reproduction but male ducks simply evolved corkscrewed dicks so now ducks never reproduce without inflicting great agony.

I doubt the fascist pin pricks can hurt them.

If left wing is progressive then they’re still fairly progressive, imo. For example, making railways public again and banning no fault evictions were some recent things they’ve done.

Hang on, arent these the same fuckers who greenlit AI training on IP they don’t own?

By definitions of words capitalism and communism are not conflicting ideologies unless applied to the extreme.

The dictionaries tell us this:

Capitalism means private ownership of production of goods and services.

Communism means worker owned production of goods and services.

Obviously you could argue that all Capitalism is Laissez Faire and that all communism is some abominable mix of Marxism and somehow dictatorship, but then we have no terms to describe the 99% of industries that fall anywhere in the middle as anything except “market system.”

You can add things to the definitions of words all you like but it just puts you on the same level as those tankies screaming bloody murder about Capitalism.

Communism is an economic and political ideology of “workers owning the rights and means to productions” as opposed to investors and upper management not specifically beholden to those workers, so yes publicly owned services and also cooperatives are “communism”.

That’s not to say that communism is in any way a solution to the problems of greed or corruption, though, because centralized authorities managing those public goods and services can be as bad or even worse than a monopoly.

My stance is plainly that communism or capitalism is a pointless discussion to even have on the topics of inequality, civil rights, or wealth concentration because it makes no difference compared to the discussion of democracy vs antidemocratic ideologies like fascism or tankies.

By bare definition a lot of things are communism, like public roads and libraries, public housing, public insulin production, etc.

But most people on here use the word to describe west v east divide and not what the word means.

I don’t think communism by bare definition leads there but certainly “dismantling capitalism” doesn’t have a good track record.

Oh that Xi Jinping president for life in a single-party system is such a haaard wooorker, truly the one worker allowed to own the rights and means to production.

Right Wing means Conservative, and the chinese dictatorship is extremely conservative.

They even favored Trump and the GOP during the US elections.

1. It was always Right Wing, it was controlled by CCP Military.

2. It’s still controlled by the CCP Military, they’re just migrating to a cloud server that Beijing still has full access to.

US Voters had a choice and a say and a plurality voted for literal Hitler while almost 9 Million people who voted hitler out in 2020 didn’t show up at all for 2024.

I thing a more relevant comic would be if both people understand it’s about to be hitler and neither of them can agree on what to do about it, resulting in Hitler.
