But after a century we're still having to ask - what socialism? You list a bunch of self apparently good things in this thread but none of them describe a Socialist society, just a Capitalist one that's managed to maintain concessions.

And not even eliminate sweat shops at that!

I never called the whole country of Vietnam 'utopian', I called you specifically and your warped understanding of Socialist movements utopian. Yet you automatically slip into a defense of their economic growth, and not of your non-nonsensical statements about 'socialism building'

@ted_bundist in early 2016 when I started my channel and was a /leftypol/ regular I hung out on an irc channel for the board (which yielded some of the biggest living memes that still persist on twitter today), and on this channel was Rebel Absurdity, who had also just started their channel @ted_bundist so both of us together were like the two meme lefttubers that represented /leftypol/'s anti-idpol leftist positions and shit (it really was a long time ago), and for a while we were friends and they in particular were becoming quite popular with people

this banning porn thing is another example as to why we as the left should really push more for a decentralized internet - or at the very least decentralized platforms on top it - that aren't subject to the whims of moralist authoritarians Seems a lot of people's minds have jumped straight to child porn with this, granted it's not something I was really thinking of when I posted it but I guess I'll clarify that I'm just talking about using tools that are already being used by bad people either way for good purposes
